How to Keep Track of Your Skincare Routine

Can I track your skincare routine without a detailed diary?

You could use one Skincare calendar or separate Morning Skincare and Evening Skincare records. Separate names are useful if you want to see both routines clearly. There is no need to write down every ordinary step simply to keep the completed date.

How do I use X Calendar to record your skincare routine?

To start tracking evening skincare, open X Calendar on your iPhone. Give the activity its own calendar so you can find the dates quickly later. Then make the first entry after the activity or completed day you want to record.

For Evening Skincare, it can be easiest to make the entry soon after you finish your evening skincare routine. If you remember later, add the actual date only when you know it. The calendar can still be useful without filling every blank square. Keeping the dates honest means you can come back weeks later and understand what the marks are reminding you of.

After your evening routine on Tuesday, add an X to Evening Skincare. Mark Wednesday morning in Morning Skincare if you keep that record too. A day with only the evening routine will still be clear, rather than one shared mark leaving you unsure which routine happened.

• Create a calendar called Evening Skincare.
• After you finish your evening skincare routine, tap that date to add an X.
• Open Evening Skincare whenever you want to see the dates you have marked.

What can I see when I look back at your skincare routine?

Over the month, you can see the dates you followed each routine without relying on memory. Your product information can stay wherever you keep it. If prescribed treatment needs a dose or timing record, use the proper record for that; the calendar can remain a simple overview of routine days.

Morning and evening routines may not happen together, which is why separate calendars can be handy. You can mark Tuesday evening without adding a morning entry that did not happen. When you open either calendar later, its name explains the dates. Keep the actual products and any treatment information elsewhere when needed, so the simple day record stays easy to use.

Keep mornings and evenings on separate calendars if you want to know which routine each X refers to.
