What is Skin Sequencing?

Skin cycling, which started as a tik-tok trend, was introduced by Dr Whitney Bowe with a focus on adapting your night-time skincare routine by rotating the use of an exfoliant, a vitamin A and a hydrating/nourishing product. At Biologi we have reshaped how we see this type of routine using our range of plant-based skincare and coined it skin sequencing.

At Biologi, we always think strategically about when and how you use your products for maximum results and introducing actives in a specific sequence for your skin is an easy but targeted way to increase skin results when you feel your skin is in plateau, to boost your skin for a special occasion or tweak any new skin goals.

It works by introducing different Biologi’s plant actives nightly to safely boost and encourage your skins own repair processes without using a multitude of layered products and, without damaging the skins delicate barrier.

Like working out our bodies, when you are in the gym and lifting weights, you are working the muscles, but only when you are resting, and recovering are your muscles re-building and getting stronger.

Plant-based skin cycling follows a similar analogy. You are using 2 nights to do the ‘work’ to create change in the skin, and the other nights to repair and hydrate where your skin rebuilds and becomes stronger and healthier.

What Are the Benefits:

Focusing on one active or process at a time allows for maximum results and minimal irritation. Skin sequencing can be adapted for sensitive skins and is buildable for skins that are more tolerant of active products. It helps to reduce the potential of ‘overdoing it’ and impairing the skin barrier function.

Why Do We Love It?

Skin sequencing is all about highlighting the less is more approach. Our skin is not designed to withstand multiple ingredients (which may be also packed with synthetics), at once which is why we are so passionate about our plant products. Giving the skin the nutrients it needs, while keeping it healthy and strong is the most important part of skincare.

What is a Skin Sequencing Regime with Biologi?

We recommend a seven-day cycle of introducing Biologi exfoliation on night one in the form of Bx Reveal Exfoliant and then the application of Bd Luminosity Serum to aid in removing dulling dead skin cells and encouraging cellular turnover. Then on night two, apply Br Rosehip Oil which assists in revitalising and rejuvenating the skin with vitamin A, E, and essential fatty acids. Over the five nights apply your Biologi serum according to your skin goals and then start the cycle start again.

Because Biologi serums work on cellular health of the skin, we recommend applying the principal of “repair and hydrate” cycle from night 3 and continue for 5 nights before repeating the process.  You could start the process again at day 5 depending on skin health, but we love using our chosen serum on evenings 3,4,5,6,7 and then repeating for optimal skin results.

For the AM, you can continue to use the same serum as the PM, however, we recommend introducing Bg Defence Anti-Pollution Serum which provides the ultimate in skin shielding and protection from environmental damage, like pollution and blue light.
