What Is Skin Cycling And Does It Really Work?
The term “skin cycling” has been a buzz phrase recently in the skincare world. Here, we unpack what exactly it means and discuss some of its benefits and pitfalls – because let’s face it, every skincare routine has both.
While it may be new to our vocabulary, skin cycling is not necessarily a new phenomenon. Dermatologists have long urged patients to avoid using harsher products daily and instead rotate them throughout the week. But it wasn’t until April 2021 that New York City-based dermatologist Whitney Bowe, FAAD, brought the term “skin cycling” to life. And shortly after, influencers, aestheticians, and everyone in between began trying the regimen and posting it on social media. #Skincycling has over 277 million views on TikTok – making it one of the most loved skincare trends of this year and last.
