As I discuss in my upcoming eBook, The Lab Muffin Guide to Basic Skincare, it’s important to keep a record of your skincare routine and skin condition.

I blog as well as work full-time in science education, so a lot of people have asked me how I stay organised and motivated, so I thought I’d share my process today in a slightly different sort of blog post. Some other bloggers like Tracy of Fanserviced-B have documented how they distribute their time, and Cat of Snow White and …
