Welcome to your skin & life planner!
I'm glad that you purchased your Happy Skin planner and you are willing to check up on your skin to know your skin better than ever.
If you follow the planner, I promise you, you will find so many new things about skin's behaviour in relationship with your lifestyle. You just need to pay attention to a few things:
- skincare products and how you used them
- what you eat and when
- how much you sleep and relax
- what's stressing you out and how much
On this page, let's talk about your skincare products and how you use them.
As you seen in your Happy Skin planner, if you don't know where to start, I have a few options for you that should help your skin. Of course, if you want faster and targeted result, you should work with a skin therapist, aesthetician or dermatologist.
