Skin cycling is a popular skincare routine that involves rotating between different types of products to achieve optimal results. The most common skin cycling routine consists of four nights: exfoliation, retinol, recovery, and recovery.
Vitamin C is commonly used in the morning, but it can also be incorporated into a skin cycling routine. To use vitamin C with skin cycling, you can apply it:
- On the morning following your retinol night: Apply a pea-sized amount of vitamin C serum to your dry face, neck, and décolletage after cleansing.
- On the morning following your recovery night: Apply a pea-sized amount of vitamin C serum to your dry face, neck, and décolletage after cleansing.
- On the morning following your exfoliation night: Some experts suggest waiting until the morning following your exfoliation night to apply vitamin C as your skin may be more sensitive.
Note: If your skin is sensitive or you experience irritation from vitamin C, you can skip it on certain days or alternate using it with other treatments. Always listen to your skin and adjust your routine accordingly.
It's important to note that the order of application can vary depending on the specific products used. For example, you might apply your vitamin C serum before applying your retinol or vice versa. However, always check the product instructions for specific recommendations.
