Day 1 of skin cycling focuses on exfoliation. This step prepares your skin for the following days' treatments by removing dead skin cells and allowing for better ingredient penetration. It is recommended to use a chemical exfoliant with AHA/BHA or exfoliating pads, as physical exfoliation can be harsh and cause irritation. After exfoliating, you should apply your preferred moisturizer to hydrate and nourish your skin.
Here is a breakdown of the day 1 skin cycling routine:
- Cleanse: Use your regular cleanser to remove makeup and impurities.
- Exfoliate: Apply a chemical exfoliant with AHA/BHA or exfoliating pads to your skin.
- Moisturize: Apply your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration.
Remember that skin cycling routines can vary depending on your individual skin type and concerns. You may need to adjust the routine based on your own experience.
