YOGYAKARTA As many types of skincare products, you need to choose which ones are suitable, not those that are currently popular. Apply techniques in applying regular skincare, you can follow the viral trend on TikTok approved by dermatologists. This technique is called skin cycling, or a skin care cycle that is carried out in frequency for four days.

Vekteriku Bowe, suggested using the four-day cycle instead of using skincare products every night. On the other hand, target Pratt, a board-certified dermatologist, has recommended this technique over the years. In fact, Pratt has been going through for more than 20 years.

Interestingly, this four-day cycle is used to minimize the risk of irritation. In addition to the cycle that will be explained below, you still need to carry out daily facial skin care routines. These include cleaning, wearing sunscreen, and extra serums.

If the cycle is four days, it is a routine based on a four-night schedule. The first night, peeling the skin with acidic skincare, then retinoid night, then recovery night.

The first night of treatment must include chemical exfoliation. Exfoliation or peeling of the skin can be done gently at home. The important thing is, exfoliant must always be applied after a gentle cleaning and always followed by moisturizing.

Exfoliation aims to clean the skin off, keep facial skin smooth, and prepare the skin to absorb the product better.

The move is the same as the first night, starting with cleaning and followed by moisturizers. The suggestion of plastic surgeon Jaimie DeRosa was reported by HuftPost, Monday, September 12, use skincare with a small amount of retinol. This is to anticipate so that facial skin does not experience irritation. If you've just started using it and have sensitive skin, be careful. Use the size of a pea to level the whole face, don't overdo it.

The specific benefits of skincare with retinol are to increase skin cell production, stimulate collagen, and fade wrinkles, dark spots, and tighten skin texture.

After exfoliating and retinol nights, the next two days will focus on letting the skin rest. At night, all you have to do is clean and use moisturizers.

Make sure the moisturizer does not contain vitamin A or retinol in it. In addition, consider additional serums with hyaluronic acid after cleaning and applying moisturizers. The goal is to make facial skin hydrated enough.
