Why You Need to Stick with Your Skincare Routine (Hint: It’s Science)

The Skin Cycle— what is it?

Your skin essentially sheds about once a month. It goes through a full regeneration cycle every 28-40 days. Multiple factors play into how fast your skin cycle happens, like age, sun exposure, lifestyle, and skincare habits. Recognizing your skin’s natural regeneration cycle can help you achieve the results you’re aiming for within your routine.

Skincare results take time because they are based on your cycle. Consistency is crucial for results. Try sticking with the same products for at least a month, and even try marking a 4-week checkpoint on your calendar to track results. The only time we should be switching up a routine is if your products are causing irritation— in that case, ditch it immediately.

Scheduling a professional consultation or facial every 3-4 weeks can help you get a better understanding of where your skin is at in it’s cycle, as well as build an easy-to-follow routine that accomplishes your skin needs.

Think of your skin like a garden. You don’t water it once and expect it to bloom the next day— growth needs time, nourishment, and consistency.

Schedule a consultation to learn where your skin is in its cycle.
