How to Track Skincare Routines

Updated: June 15, 2023

Hardcore skincare lovers know the pain of having many skincare routines. If you’re like us, your skincare routines are like night and day.

There are so many routines! For example: exfoliation nights, retinoid nights, vitamin C days and so on.

After curating each routine, it can be hard to remember which products should be used.

Wait, which serum goes with my retinol? You don’t want to risk mixing up products and over-sensitizing your skin!

This article will give you a step-by-step guide on how to track your skincare routines.

Organizing Routines

SkinSort makes it easy to track all your skincare routines.

Step 1

With a SkinSort account, you can store as many routines with as many products as you like. And the best part? It’s all free!

Step 2

The Routine Creator is designed for both skincare pros and beginners alike.

It comes with a built-in routine order to help you get started. You can also reorder and customize your routine however you want.

There is no limit on how many routines you can create.

Step 3

Add details for the products in your routine. You'll be able to set how often each product is used. Adding notes to each product can help you keep track of which ones work, and which ones don't.
