Skincare log???
I just noticed that picky added a skincare log to their app!!!!
This is the most smartest and helpful thing ever! I love how it goes by the calendar, you can add what products you used and add pictures of your skin...
this is exactly what I needed 1-3 years ago when my skin was going through a lot of changes. I used to take pictures and just write down things by hand in a notebook to keep track of what products I was using and if they had any irritating effects on the skin. If I had this feature on the app back then, it would've made things so much easier π
I hope users can utilize this funtion to keep track of their progress and see what works for them!
But from someone who's done all that, here is some advice:
1. Sometimes you'll know right away if a product is good or bad for your skin. Listen to your gut and don't use something if it actually *feels* bad to use. You'll know if something is irritating right away.
2. If somethings doesn't look like it's giving an *effect* on the skin, that doesn't mean you should stop using it after a week or so. Let your skin just be. Sometimes something will work right away. Sometimes it'll take a few months before you see something. Bottom line, don't feel discouraged if your pictures don't look significantly different right away. You should take joy in using each and every product and build a routine that you feel good using. Get to know your skin and do what makes it *feelsgood* not what makes it *look good*.
3. Progress photos are good to see how far you've come, but only when a long time has passed. Don't obsess over photos and check in every day. Take photos maybe after you try a new product, or once every week. You can't rush good progress.
4. Have fun! It's cool to look back and be reminded of your old routine. To see products that you used to love using and forgot about. To see products that you once needed but not anymore. To see how your skin has not only changed in appearance but in skin type! Record your skincare journey for your future self!
