5 Skincare Apps To Try

Skincare, combined with artificial intelligence, is the 2019 way of starting with a skin care regime. Your skin expert is just a click away, especially when you're pressed for time. From a detailed analysis, alerting you to your next breakout, the rate at which your skin is ageing, and skincare products you swear by, technology has it all. Smartphones offer you with a range of skincare apps that can start you on an informed skincare routine. Here's our pick of apps we think you should try right now.

THINK DIRTY

Your regular skin care products are a mix of various hydroxy acids, ketones, and peptides. Many products have proven or suspected harmful ingredients like parabens, sodium sulfate, triclosan, and synthetic fragrances that slowly damage your skin with longterm use. Think Dirty generates a scientific report for you, and lists all the ingredients and chemicals used to manufacture your skincare product. It is the easiest way to know the toxic formulas your cosmetics might contain, and how it would react on your skin. The apps further helps you to shop safest products by comparing them. All you have to do is scan the barcode behind the product and the app will generate an easy to understand dirt report on ingredients, certifications, and health impacts. The app favours transparency in beauty and is a mission to empower you to take control of what you put on your skin. Using ingredients that are safe and gentle for your skin is the best way to start with clean beauty. Any time you notice your skin is looking particularly good or bad Think Dirty lets you make a note thus tracking your skin’s progress.
