Have you heard about skin cycling? It’s the TikTok trending beauty routine everyone is talking about. But what is it exactly? Well, the concept is quite simple – maximise your nighttime skincare routine by strategically using certain products. Keep reading to find out how it all works.
Skin cycling involves a four-night skincare routine, alternating between two nights of treatments with active ingredients and two nights of rest, repeating the cycle. This routine aims to balance your skin and prevent the skin barrier from being compromised by too many active ingredients. By following a skin cycling routine, you get all your products’ benefits without unnecessary problems like redness and irritation. Here’s the skin cycling routine you need to follow:
Skin cycling night 1: Exfoliation
Start the first night by cleansing, then continue with an exfoliating product. We recommend NovAge Skin Renewing Peel that contains a blend of AHA and BHA for effective skin barrier care. Finish the night off with a rich moisturiser like Novage+ Anti-Ageing Night Cream.
Skin cycling night 2: Retinoid
On the second night, switch out the exfoliator for a retinoid after cleansing. Consider NovAge ProCeuticals Retinol Power Drops that’s formulated with an active level of 1.1% encapsulated retinol. It’s a very powerful ingredient and if used too frequently, you can end up with red, irritated skin. Also keep in mind not to layer retinol with other potentially irritating ingredients.
Skin cycling night 3 and 4: Recovery
Now it’s all about letting your skin rest and ensure it’s hydrated to the max. Look for products packed with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin. Try NovAge Time Restore Revitalising Serum and Novage+ Intense Skin Recharge Overnight Mask for a great skin recovery.
After completing the fourth night, restart the cycle for optimal results. Experts claim that after a few cycles, you'll notice results with a healthy glow and radiance.
