Recently, there has been a beauty regimen trend that has surprised beauty lovers, called skin cycling, which is popular on the social media site TikTok due to its simple way of execution. According to the Washington Post, skin cycling is a four-night skin care regimen that involves two nights of skincare and two nights of rest. 

WHAT IS SKIN CYCLING?

Whitney Bowe, a New York-based dermatologist, coined the phrase "skin cycling" in 2008. Dr. Bowe is a well-known doctor with over 985,200 followers on the TikTok social media platform. He is also highly active on social media, publishing routine videos, one of which is skin cycling, which has been enlivened with the hashtag #skincycling and has been seen over 110.6 million times on TikTok. Skin cycling, he claims, is a skincare procedure that is done four evenings a week.

"I don't have a skin cycle in the morning." "I maintain an easy-to-follow routine that includes cleansing, drying, applying vitamin C products, applying antioxidants, moisturizing, and using an SPF that can protect the skin from the stresses of the day," stated Dr. Bowe, as reported by the-well.com.

While no published research on this trend has been conducted, skin specialists believe it is based on a sound concept and habit that encourages individuals to cleanse and moisturize their faces every night. Furthermore, avoid aggressive treatments that may irritate the skin.

SKIN CYCLING 

First Night

You guys must be prepared to clean the pores and exfoliate dead and dull skin on the first night, which is a skin exfoliation night. The first step in using this procedure is to gently cleanse and dry your skin with micellar water. Dr. Bowr then suggests using an exfoliating product, such as a serum with alpha or beta-hydroxy acids. Exfoliation should not produce burning, discomfort, or irritation at this time. If this occurs, Fimela's closest friend must wash her face and apply moisturizer shortly before going to bed. 

Second Night

On the second night is the use of retinoids which can help speed up skin cell turnover. Products that can be used are products that contain vitamin A to treat mild acne, fade hyperpigmentation, and reduce fine lines or wrinkles.

Third and Fourth Night

The third and fourth nights are recovery nights, so Fimela's friends only need to clean their faces and apply a serum or moisturizer that is free of fragrance and contains additional ingredients to repair the skin such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramide.
