Skin cycling is the latest beauty trend to hit the internet, encouraging people to adopt a four-day skincare regimen that combines active ingredients with skin recovery. The end goal here is to ensure the skin is not over-exfoliated or damaged – you can take care of your skin barrier while enjoying all the age-defying benefits of skincare!
The best thing about it is that it’s dermatologist-approved, so why not follow along with my skin cycling routine below to get your skin glowing?
First, cleanse and exfoliate the skin simultaneously with the No 7 Lift & Luminate Dual Action to buff away dirt and any impurities from the day. It will leave the skin with a texture visibly improved and instantly glowing.
Next, it’s time to tone with the Dr Naomi Pore Relation, a dual action toner and exfoliator that works to refine and shrink the appearance of pores, leaving a cleaner, smoother, and more even skin tone. Say goodbye to enlarged pores for good!
And for the final step, it’s time to lock everything in with the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, an award-winning formula that hydrates, plumps, brightens, smooths, firms, and revives the look of the skin, reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles all within just one product. It does feel like magic!
The second night is all about our beloved retinol. After cleansing and toning with my go-to products, I use the Sunday Riley 5 Stars Retinoid + Niacinamide Eye Serum, a hydrating gel serum that works to plump the look of lines and prevents the signs of premature skin ageing.
Following up with another Sunday Riley gem, I reach for the A+ High Dose Retinoid Serum. This serum delivers an advanced 6.5% solution of stabilised retinoid blends and botanical, retinol-alternative extracts into the skin, leaving behind the look of fresh, young, smooth, and visibly radiant skin.
And, as the last step of the night, the Skinstitut Expert Reveal Retinol Face Oil works deeply within the skin to correct its texture, tone, and clarity while simultaneously revamping collagen production to soften the visible signs of ageing.
It’s time to reset. The Kora Organics Milky Mushroom Gentle Cleansing Oil helps to bind moisture to your skin, removing dirt, oil, and makeup while soothing the skin for a soft, healthy-looking complexion.
This is a solution that delivers long-lasting moisture to the skin while helping fight off the appearance of first fine lines and wrinkles for that smoother, plumper, lifted complexion.
And to finish things up with a bang, here’s the Emma Lewisham Supernatural Sleeping Mask, a highly concentrated treatment for elevated results in skin regeneration. The mask is designed to work alongside the skin as it amplifies our natural night-time skin cycle to unlock the most beautiful and glowing results.
