We all know and embrace the differences in our skin story, but with that comes the welcome challenge of finding out how we know if we're on track with caring for it.
When it comes to skin, we're often after visual tells. True enough, we wouldn't be so motivated to follow rigorous regimens, putting in the time, effort, and resources for products or treatments that fall short of delivering the results we were in for in the first place.
So now the challenge is: how do you know if what we're pouring efforts into is worth it? Whether you're a skincare newbie or someone who has been into skincare for a while, we can all have those moments of warranted doubt. Let's break down the signs and solve the mystery of how to know you're on track for skin progress:
It's easy to keep.

As Women in Progress®️, we all have different tastes and lifestyles we subscribe to. Some people would rather have a straightforward regimen that needs no fuss. Some enjoy the rigorous, more specific skincare routine. Our telltale sign is that no matter who you are in that spectrum, your skincare routine feels like it's a perfect match to your tastes. That way, it feels easy to keep and go to— no dreadful feeling or tiredness when looking at our skin list. Our logic? Make sure that your skincare routine is something you'd enjoy first to ensure you'd want to follow through with it. You're allowed to have fun or enjoy it.
It gets better and better— slowly but surely.

We're after actual results— progress we would love to own and be proud of when we look back at it. Otherwise, what were we pouring our precious time and efforts into? In checking if you're on track for skin progress, our favorite questions to ask are not about the speed at which we could get the results we want (no overnight promises!) but consistency. No matter how big or small the changes are, they're there. Most importantly, they all lead towards the actual goals we set out in the first place.
It's yours.

While we love getting recommendations here and there, remember that no skin progress is ever the same, or follow the same steps to get our desired results. We could have similar endgames in mind, but the way we get there will always be different. You'd know you're on track for skin progress not only by having easy skincare routines and seeing the changes towards your goals slowly but surely but by having a mindset programmed to be in peace with the ins and outs of having your journey— and honoring it. That means you're no longer after catch-it-all treatments but ones that work with you to get you to where you want your skin to be.
For skin that's easy, better, you.
No matter where you're at in your skin journey, you deserve a skin place that zones in and focuses on your skin goals. The ideal skin space puts your needs above all and ensures that it's an overall experience you'll keep coming back to. Each treatment should be dedicated to targeting your specific skin needs and goals.
Skincare can be daunting, and to say that it would be a walk in the park by just keeping these signs in mind would be enough would be an outright lie. Find a Space and a group of experts that would happily guide you in the right direction. No judgment— just pure happiness in helping you find your right fit and ways to celebrate on the way.
