Frequently Asked Questions

Is skin cycling suitable for all skin types?

Skin cycling is an excellent framework for most skin types, especially beginners and those with sensitive or reactive skin who struggle to introduce actives without irritation. Oily or more resilient skin may eventually be able to use actives more frequently and may not need the full four-day cycle. The model can be adapted — adding an extra recovery night or adjusting which actives are used — to suit individual needs.

How do I build a skincare routine from scratch?

Start with three essentials: a gentle cleanser matched to your skin type, a basic moisturizer, and SPF 30+ in the morning. Use this routine consistently for three to four weeks before adding anything else. Next, consider one targeted treatment based on your primary concern — vitamin C for brightening, retinol for anti-aging, or BHA for acne. Add one product at a time with at least two weeks between additions so you can identify what helps or causes problems.
