Skin Cycling: The Dermatologist-Approved Way to Renew Your Skin

🔍 Hook & Why It Matters

Lately, you’ve probably seen “skin cycling” trending on TikTok, Instagram and in beauty editorials. In fact, dermatologists confirm it’s not just a fad — it’s strategic skincare. IPSY+2Alamo Heights Dermatology+2
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by active serums, exfoliants, and barrier-damage from over-use — this routine might be your answer.

🧩 What Is Skin Cycling?

Skin cycling is a structured routine of alternating intense active ingredient nights (such as exfoliants and retinoids) with recovery nights focused on hydration and barrier repair. Alamo Heights Dermatology+1

🛠️ How to Start (With Your Skin Type)

For Beginners or Sensitive Skin

  • Night 1: Gentle exfoliant (e.g., lactic acid)

  • Night 2: Low-strength retinol or gentle variant

  • Nights 3-4: Focus on barrier repair — hydrating serums, ceramides, no strong actives

For Oily/Acne-Prone Skin

  • Night 1: BHA (e.g., salicylic acid)

  • Night 2: Retinoid or prescription variant

  • Nights 3-4: Niacinamide, hydrators, calming mask

For Dry/Mature Skin

  • Night 1: Mild exfoliant (PHA or lactic)

  • Night 2: Retinol + rich moisturizer

  • Nights 3-4: Deep hydration—hyaluronic acid, shea butter cream

💡 Always remember: in the Morning, use your usual gentle cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and SPF — especially important when you use active ingredients at night.
