WHAT IS SKIN CYCLING?

19.01.2023 | Skincare



Chances are you’ve seen the phrase “skin cycling” all over your TikTok #fyp (for
you page) and covered by the biggest skincare influencers and beauty editors.
But what exactly IS skin cycling? Who is it best suited for and why are people
switching their skincare routine to this pattern?

OK, let’s first define what it is. Skin cycling is an extremely strategic way to
support skin health while also minimizing potential irritation. It involves
limiting the use of active ingredients and exfoliants to just two nights a week
to give your skin a break. It’s meant to be incorporated into your nighttime
routine, and it works on a four-day cycle to maximize the benefits of your
skincare products while also allowing your skin to recover in-between,
preventing any potential damage or irritation from using actives that may
occur.. 

Now let’s break down how this four-day cycle works. After cleansing your skin
with your go-to cleanser, the next step of your routine is dependent on what day
of the cycle you’re on.


NIGHT 1: EXFOLIATION 

After cleansing, use a chemical exfoliator. A chemical exfoliator, versus a
physical exfoliator, will help maximize the effects of skin cycling and the
products you will be using the following days. For exfoliators, we recommend
using our Glycolic Acid Toner or you can also use our PHA Toner for more
sensitive skin.


NIGHT 2: RETINOL 

The second night of skin cycling is focused on retinol. We recommend using our
Retinol Serum or if you are looking for a stronger solution for acne scarring,
you can use our Scar, Mark and Wrinkle Solution.


NIGHT 3 & 4: RECOVERY 

Now the third and fourth night of skin cycling is what differentiates this
routine from other skincare routines. It’s completely intentional that for night
3 and night 4, no actives are implemented into your skincare routine. These two
nights are meant to serve as a recovery period for your skin to allow maximum
benefits with actives while also preventing the potential risk of damage and
irritation. In short, exfoliants are completely off the table these nights.
Instead, turn to hydrating and moisturizing products after cleansing. We
recommend using our Hyaluronic Acid Serum or Polyglutamic Acid Serum.

After each night, make sure to finish your skincare routine with the moisturizer
of your choice. 

Want to try skin cycling for yourself? If you have any questions about which
products are best for you, you can reach out to our askINKEY team available 24/7
or take our Recipe Builder quiz to explore which products will help you achieve
your skincare goals!
