WHAT THE APP DOES

This app allows you to log your morning and evening skincare routine, your meals, water intake, hours of sleep, makeup, supplements and stress levels to track and determine skin triggers. The home page is a feed of skin, hair and makeup product reviews from other users with product images, ratings and selfies.

You can also add your reviews to the feed, upload progress photos and keep track of the products that work for you and those you should bin.

WHAT WE THINK

This is a great app if you want to closely monitor how your daily habits influence your skin’s health and behaviour.

The product reviews of other users are also great because you get an idea of what other products are really like.

COST In-app purchases
