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

AVAILABLE Google Play Store and App Store

YOUCAM NAILS

WHAT THE APP DOES

Here’s one for all manicure maniacs out there. This app allows you to customise your nail designs with a hand in the skin tone and nail shape of your choice. You can take a pic of an existing model’s hand or your hand, then design your nails to your heart’s content.

WHAT WE THINK

It’s a great and fun way to find ideas for what you might want done at a salon.
