As a beauty editor, I wish that I could say that my bedside cabinet is perfectly neat, with just a few select products, organised and ready for action. In reality, though, it's jam-packed with far too many creams, oils, and serums, and each night I randomly choose a product to use, depending on my mood, the amount of time I have, and how my skin is feeling. I have a few favourites, but I tend to switch up my end-of-day routine regularly.
I know this isn’t the best way of doing my skincare, so when I heard about ‘skin cycling’, I was immediately intrigued. The trend isn't anything new; in fact, "It’s a method that’s been used for years in dermatology," says Consultant Dermatologist & Co Founder of The Skin Diary, Dr Clare Kiely, but it has recently gained popularity on TikTok. It involves following a simple skincare routine over a set number of days to help reinforce your skin barrier.
