Skin Cycling – the smart rhythm for healthy skin
The skincare routine is no longer just a sequence of products—it's constantly evolving. One approach that's currently receiving a lot of attention is so-called skin cycling . Developed by dermatologists, this trend is based on a clear care rhythm that specifically supports the skin rather than overtaxing it.
What is skin cycling?
Skin cycling involves structuring your skincare routine over several evenings. Instead of using the same active ingredients every night, they are sensibly divided into a four-day cycle . The goal is to avoid irritation, protect the skin barrier, and improve the effectiveness of your skincare routine.
A classic process looks like this:
-
Day 1: Exfoliation – a gentle peeling removes dead skin cells
-
Day 2: Active ingredient night – active ingredients stimulate cell renewal
-
Day 3 & 4: Regeneration – moisturizing and soothing care
Then the cycle starts again.
Skin cycling with products from the shop – this is what your routine could look like:
Day 1: Gentle cleansing and preparation
Start with Cleansing & Care – Gentle and effective 2-in-1 care for face and body . This product thoroughly cleanses without over-drying and is ideal for preparing for the next day's active ingredients.
Day 2: Active ingredient care if needed
The Concentrate Acute Roller – Intensive Solution for Skin Blemishes is ideal for nighttime use. It can be applied to specific areas of blemishes and promotes skin renewal without causing unnecessary irritation.
Day 3 & 4: Moisture & Soothing
Now regeneration takes center stage. The Nourishing Skin Cream – effective moisturizer for dry and sensitive skin strengthens the skin barrier and provides long-lasting care. It's ideally complemented by The Original Skin Spray – for intensive moisture and skin protection , which serves as a moisture boost during the day or at the end of your routine in the evening.
Why skin cycling makes sense
The structured rhythm protects the skin from becoming over-cared for or irritated – a problem that quickly arises with too much active care. At the same time, skin cycling specifically harnesses the benefits of powerful active ingredients without overtaxing the skin.
Especially for sensitive or stressed skin – as described by many customers in the shop – skin cycling can lead to a better complexion and a greater sense of well-being.
Less is often more
Skin cycling isn't a short-term trend, but rather an expression of a more conscious approach to skincare: mindfulness, knowledge, and individual adaptation . Skin doesn't need many products—just the right ones at the right time.
With the gentle, dermatologically tested formulations from the shop, skin cycling can be implemented easily and in a skin-friendly manner.
Final tip: Start with a customized routine—perhaps one treatment per week—and listen to how your skin reacts. Even small changes can make a big difference in the long run.
