Skin cycling is a method of rotating your nighttime skincare routine to get the benefits of exfoliation and retinoids while minimizing the potential irritation by incorporating recovery nights into the rotation.

For example: night one is chemical

exfoliation, night two is retinoid, nights three and four are moisturizing for recovery, and then repeat.

Formulas with chirally-correct ingredients have been filtered to contain only molecules that positively interact with the skin. The result is less irritation and more concentrated formulas capable of real change.

This is my specialty. The real question is how and when to use retinoids as well as what form would work best for you? a retinol? retinal? or retinyl?

Retinoid compounds are a foundational tool in all corrective skincare.

There are 2 main groups of SPF chemicals... physical & chemical.

Physical sunblocks are mineral based and tend to sit heavier, and can cast a white sheen. Todays formulations are created with mineral pigments so the product reads more of a neutral skintone. Mineral formulations are cooling for inflammed skin and protective from the elements. Many of them can also be worn as make -up!

Chemical sunscreens use light refracting chemicals to reverse UV rays from penetrating the cells. They tend to feel more elegant and lighter. They also will boast a higher SPF rating although higher SPF doesn't neccessarily mean better.

Most commercial spf chemicals are not ocean safe.

I get the best results blending a traditional approach of resurfacing with peels and retinols and ingredients with ultra high diketones.
