What Is Skin Cycling? – Best Skin Cycling Products for 2023

Beauty content on TikTok may be wildly popular, but the platform hasn’t always had the best track record when it comes to skincare-specific videos. Most DIY acne hacks or viral beauty product recs take over feeds, only to be followed by a string of warnings from dermatologists. Last year, however, a major exception appeared in the form of skin cycling, a buzzy approach to nighttime skincare routines that’s not only approved by dermatologists…but also created by one.

During the pandemic, dermatologist Whitney Bowe, MD, had noticed that despite her patients increasing interest in skincare, none of of them actually knew which what products to use when. Every time they discovered a new ingredient, they added it to their routines without considering how it would interact with their existing product lineup. So in an effort to help her patients be more strategic with their skincare, Dr. Bowe created skin cycling.

Ahead, everything you need to know about the practice, including how it works, who it’s best for, and which products to use in your skin cycling routine.

What is skin cycling?

Skin cycling is, in many ways, exactly what it sounds like: a cycle. “It’s a thoughtful approach to your PM skincare routine that encourages you to use products in a specific way to set your skin up for success while dialing down unnecessary irritation,” says Dr. Bowe. The principal aim of skin cycling is to simultaneously maximize the efficacy of retinol and minimize irritation.

The classic skin cycling routine spans four nights. The first evening focuses on exfoliation (preferably with a chemical exfoliant, like lactic acid or glycolic acid), the second night features retinol, and the third and fourth nights are all about recovery where you only use

Bringing a show to life through wardrobe is no easy feat, but costume designer QueenSylvia Akuchie was up for the challenge. The talented visionary used her sharp eyes and love for distinct statement pieces while developing the wardrobe for each character in the Bel-Air reboot. Now in its second season, the show takes style and individuality to the next level with its attention to detail for each character. 

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was a monumental show that left a significant imprint on Black culture. The ’90s flare and the relative storylines made the series one of the most talked about sitcoms of our time. Along with the show’s relatable content were the vibrant style trends. Will’s character had a love affair with sneakers and jerseys, while Carlton was known for his polished look, which often included printed sweaters and cardigans. Hilary donned a classic style that often featured matching sets, fun headbands and an array of expensive accessories.

When the reboot of the cult-classic TV show was announced, people had a question: would the show be able to align with the hype of the original series? Now, one year after the reboot debut, the show has exceeded expectations, and Bel-Air is back for a second stylish, drama-filled season.

We sat down with QueenSylvia to discuss all things Bel-Air. From her inspiration behind this season’s looks to the style motifs throughout the series. She gives us the lowdown on what we can expect from our favorites this season.

HB: What was your direction, your inspiration for this season?

QueenSylvia: It was culture. I wanted to showcase everyone’s personality and every character through different facets. This is an influential Black family. Everyone has their own look, their own style and their
