Skin care cycle is no longer a time-consuming step when applying a 4-day skin care cycle according to the Skin Cycling method.
Skin cycling minimalist skincare trend to prevent skin irritation
Have you ever realized that you are using too many products but the effect is not high? Many people also realize this when taking care of their skin. From there, the Skin Cycling trend was born. This method of simplifying the skin care routine is causing a fever on TikTok and Instagram, after dermatologist Whitney Bowe from New York introduced through her personal channel. And it attracts a huge amount of positive feedback.
Cycling means change, cycle, cycle. The Skin Cycling trend doesn’t call for a complicated 10-step nightly skin-care routine, but rather breaks down the list of cosmetics to use alternately in a 4-night cycle. You will alternate between using harsh cosmetics, with benign cosmetics, during this cycle.
A Skin Cycling cycle consists of 4 nights with the following steps: exfoliating (high impact), retinol (high impact), restorative moisturizing (benign), revitalizing moisturizer (benign).
Why should you try Skin Cycling?
1. Allows you to save time on nightly skin care
There are many active ingredients that should not be combined in the same skincare routine. Examples include chemical exfoliants AHA/BHA, Retinol, Vitamin C. Combining them at the same time can cause the skin to become overly irritated.
Many people often spend an hour on skin care because they want to combine these ingredients together. One suggestion seen in the past was to apply an AHA/BHA serum, wait 30 minutes, then apply the Retinol. However, this method takes a lot of time for night skin care.
Therefore, when using these active ingredients alternately at night, you can still exploit their benefits for the skin without having to spend too much time on nightly skin care.
2. Reduce the possibility of skin irritation
The Skin Cycling trend, too, allows you to reap the benefits of exfoliants and retinol without overdoing it and causing irritation . “Concentrating on one active ingredient and one cycle at a time will allow the skin to receive optimal results and reduce irritation,” says Mona Gohara, a board-certified dermatologist in Connecticut.
3. Reduces the ability of active ingredients to neutralize each other
You might think that the more nutrients you add to your skin, the better. However, this is not true. The wrong cosmetic layer can reduce the skin care properties of the active ingredients.
For example, peptides should not be combined with facial acids. “Acids neutralize peptides,” says dermatologist Matthew Elias, MD, from Florida. And tretinoin (a heavy retinoid) is not suitable to be combined with benzoyl peroxide for acne. “Use either, rather than both at the same time,” says New York-based skincare expert Vicki Morav.
4. Simplify the complexity of a multi-step skincare routine
As cosmetics become more and more specialized and complex, combining them requires a specific scientific process. We have dozens of tips such as: Use liquid cosmetics first, water before oil. But if the serum contains an oily ingredient, should it be used before or after the moisturizer? At this point, the cosmetic layer can become confusing and complicated.
Therefore, with the Skin Cycling trend, minimizing the amount of cosmetics used every night also helps you to choose the right cycle and optimize the effectiveness of the nutrients in the product.
5. Skin Cycling trends can change easily depending on skin type
As a minimalist skincare routine, Skin Cycling is customizable for different skin types. “You can make small adjustments based on your skin type and goals,” says Dr. For example, if you have sensitive or dry skin, you can add a third restorative night to this cycle. On the other hand, those with acne-prone skin might also consider experimenting with a three-day cycle: exfoliator, retinoid, one night of recovery, then repeat.”
If you are unsure of your skin type, Dr. Whitney Bowe recommends that you seek specific advice from a dermatologist to create a list of active ingredients to use.
A specific example for Skin Cycling
Night 1: Exfoliate
On the first night, you should exfoliate your skin. You can choose from chemical exfoliants such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) and beta hydroxy acids (BHA), or gentle physical exfoliants.
According to Dr. Bowe, exfoliating is essential to starting a Skin Cycling routine. “[Exfoliating] prepares skin for maximum absorption of the second night’s nutrients.”
So, the first night, you remove makeup, wash your face, exfoliate, and then moisturize.
Night 2: Retinol
The second night of Dr. Whitney Bowe’s skincare routine begins with cleansing, followed by a pea-sized amount of retinol, followed by a layer of moisturizer.
Retinol is considered the ultimate active ingredient in the treatment of skin problems. It can help stimulate cellular changes as well as collagen production. Contributes to the reduction of wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes, and acne treatment. However, Dr. Bowe says that if you use it too often, or combine retinol with allergenic ingredients, your skin will be more prone to inflammation than it is to get good results. Therefore, it is best to use retinol as the sole exfoliating or resurfacing ingredient in your skin care routine.
Nights 3 and 4: Allow skin to recover with benign ingredients
Nights three and four give the skin time to rest and recover, an important step in protecting the skin’s moisture barrier. “On these restorative nights, your focus should be on feeding your skin’s microbiome and repairing the skin barrier, so think about hydration and moisture,” says Dr. Bowe. Using ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramide, and glycerin on recovery night is best.
How long does it take for Skin Cycling to take effect?
According to Dr. Whitney Bowe, you can start to see results in your skin after just eight days, which is after two full cycles. “You can see your skin looking healthier and more radiant,” she says. Skin will feel hydrated and softer to the touch. The longer your skin care cycle, the more difference you will notice in your skin.”
With the hashtag #skincycling accounting for 14.3 million views on TikTok, it is not difficult to explain the attraction of this new skin care method. It allows skin care novices as well as seniors an easy skin care schedule. It also keeps things under control for those who have a habit of using too many active substances.
Finally, whether you have skin care with the Skin Cycling method or not, you should still remember that sunscreen and moisturizer are two indispensable steps in every skin care routine.
