Skincareroutine.app

At the start of the pandemic I had more than enough time on my hands to to focus on things I normally didn't have much time for. Namely, my skin.

Sure, I'd slap on a facial every now and again, but not with any regularity, to be honest. Instead of looking for the next great product to try, I went searching for a skincare app.

I tried a few apps over the years including a couple that included a face-scanner feature to analyze texture, but quickly got frustrated. When I came across Skincare Routine, I stopped searching.

The app is so simple to use but has an abundance of features designed better than I've seen before.

Of course, you can inventory your products with photos, ingredients, times of day to use, etc. The plus is, the app will warn you about what products conflict with each other. For instance, if you use an exfoliant, you may want to skip the AHA toner for sensitive skin.

Another favorite feature is the ability to print or share a routine. You can even select the background color and everything you did that morning (or night) is picture perfect and ready to share!

My favorite feature is the photo diary. Even when I can't see the improvements in the mirror day by day, all I have to do is flip through my diary and see how my skin looked a month or 2 ago. I don't take cute selfies. I get closeups, right to the pores! No one else is gonna see those pics!

I'm so obsessed that I've added my Facial Flex workouts, body wash, neti pot, nutritional supplements and hand scrubbing to my routine. Have you ever had a focused routine for your hands? Me neither! Beauty isn't just skin deep. If it has to do with beauty and my body, it's in the app.

It's genuinely satisfying not having to think about what to do when. When I'm in front of my vanity, my iPad is right there with me.

Although the app is inexpensive at just $3.99, I admit I wrote to the Chris, the developer, and told him how much I appreciate this app and how surprised I am that it isn't subscription-based. I've used several other apps and none come close. And the updates are frequent.

I don't have to try a bunch of apps once I find the one that works the way I live. This one is it!
