Skin cycling is a term used to describe the technique of letting your skin rest between product use. Dermatologist Debra Wattenberg, MD, explains: “Rather than applying the same products every day, when skin cycling, products are applied with ‘rest’ days”.
Why is Skin Cycling necessary?
Using potent products strategically allows your skin to heal and as a result, reduces the chances of irritation and inflammation.
How long does Skin Cycling take to work?
Skin Cycling may allow you to see results in as little as 8 days. The more you continue with the routine, the more radiant and dewier your skin will become.
Which products should I use for Skin Cycling?
- Day 1: An exfoliating product (for example, glycolic acid or salicylic acid)
- Day 2: A retinoid such as retinol or retinaldehyde
- Day 3 and 4: A good-quality moisturizer with no skin-irritating ingredients
My product recommendations:
Medik8 Sleep Glycolic
