Skin cycling explained | dermatologist

▪️Skin cycling is based on the concept that you don’t require active ingredients daily and skin requires time to recover in order to look it’s best.
It helps in simplifying night time skin care routine especially for those not able to tolerate too many products.

▪️Whenever we prescribe a retinoid we start with once or twice a week in order to reduce irritation. Same applies to an exfoliant which doesn’t have to be applied every day. So by using these products in specific days followed by “rest days” where only a moisturiser is applied , you are able to reap the benefits of active ingredients without risking irritation.

▪️What is the schedule?
Day 1 : exfoliation using AHA like lactic acid or glycolic acid
Day 2 : retinol
Day 3 : moisturiser
Day 4 : moisturiser
Repeat

As you exfoliate on day 1, yeh dead skin layer is removed. This allows for better penetration of retinol into the skin. To avoid any dryness or irritation caused by retinol and AHA, two days of only moisturiser use helps in repairing skin barrier.

▪️Who will benefit ?
Sensitive skin
Dry skin
Beginner in skin care journey.
Not many skin concerns
Main focus on anti-aging
Living in dry or cold climate

▪️Who will it not benefit ?
Excessively oily skin
Acne prone skin
Prominent dark spots requiring other actives

▪️changes that can be made
☑️if you have dry or sensitive skin then increasing the recovery days will help in reducing irritation
☑️if your skin can tolerate, then increase the number of active days in the cycle

I used to do this twice a month when I was starting out my Korea. skincare routine. It really makes your daily skincare work much better. I also suggest shaving your face (with face oil) and using a face spatula to clean pores every 2 weeks. My skin got much healthier. My pores are no longer clogged thanks to face spatula and retinol.
