If you've heard of the term 'skin-cycling' on TikTok, you've probably know that most beauty gurus are all for it.

Skin cycling is a practice in your skin-care routine that you only do on certain nights using certain products. In fact, it only involves three products.
But, why is it good for you? Well, skin-cycling helps you reap the benefits of exfoliants and retinoids without irritating your skin.
With skin-cycling, you could get a healthier glow and an overall radiant skin.
Here's the breakdown of the cycle:
Night 1 : Exfoliate
Use a product with chemical exfoliating ingredients like hyalpha acids (AHA) and beta hydroxy acids (BHA).
Night 2: Retinol
Use retinol on its own as an exfoliating or resurfacing ingredient.
Night 3 and 4: Recovery
Focus on hydrating your skin microbiome and repairing your skin barrier. Use ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin.
Repeat.

You can see results in your skin in just eight days, after two full cycles, according to dermatologists. So, try skin-cycling now and see the difference for yourself.
