helga runs on lots of love,
and coffee - ☕

Hi, there - (ᵔ◡ᵔ)ノ゙. cynthia, from helga here.

I hope you're enjoying using helga as much as I love working on helga.

If so, consider downloading the app. Alongside access to additional skincare tools (such as an m.o. (skincare routine) builder, and a Skin Cycle), after the first 7 days of using the app, you can support helga for free by watching a single ad that will unlock helga for the day.

If you'd like to continue supporting helga, consider buying me a coffee. Each coffee helps me to continue actively working on helga's development and maintenance, and get the occasional coffee as well - (ᵔ◡ᵔ).

Til the next one, happy exploring.

If you need some help with helga, you can send me a DM on Instagram or Reddit and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

m.o. (Skincare routine) builder

m.o.s? What are those?

helga uses the term m.o. to refer to a skincare routine. We chose the term m.o. to bring a bit of clarity when thinking about skincare with helga. The idea is to help you make more conscious (and in turn better) decisions about the products you use and why you use them.

How to use

Start by selecting a template. You can choose from either day- and night-time skincare routine templates. Once you've selected one, add the skin concerns you would like your skincare routine to address. Note: Not all the products you add to your skincare routine need to address your skin concerns, but at least some of them should (otherwise... what are we doing... (ーー;)). While you're focusing on selecting products which include ingredients known to address your skin concerns, also select products which can help you improve or maintain your skin barrier. Contrary to poupular belief, your skin really (like, really) knows what it's doing, so let's keep it in good shape, neh - (。•̀ᴗ-)✧.

Once you've selected the products for your skincare routine, you might just be done... (ᵔ.ᵔ). 'Might? (・_・;)' Uh huh - might. Unless you are a 'seasoned skincare connoisseur' who's been perfecting their skincare routine for a minute now, for first-timers, your first draft is only your best guess at what might work for your skin. You'll likely want to monitor your skin and determine whether your skincare routine is providing you with the results you'd like. If it is, keep it up (if it's not broke, don't fix it - for real (^◡^)). If not, back to the drawing board we go - (ノ´ヮ`)ノ*: ・゚. Figure out what you like, and what you don't like, and replace the products your don't like, preferably one at a time. Performing a mass-overhaul will possibly make it hard to figure out who did what and why, and not knowing is going to suck.

Make a change an informed decision, monitor and repeat (only if necessary). Eventually, you'll find your perfect fits. Since we don't know when that's going to be, let's try to have fun along the way - neh - (ᵔ◡ᵔ).

- hoping this helps, til the next one.

Highly recommend - (。•̀ᴗ-)✧

About helga

Hi, there - (ᵔ◡ᵔ)ノ゙. cynthia, from helga here.

I'm a software engineer/human experience researcher and I've been building helga for a minute now, and it all started with the first pimple I experienced in high school (more on this another time), and my not knowing anything - not even a sliver (。T ω T。) - about skincare. Owing to my not-so-blissful ignorance, a number of unfortunate misadventures transpired, and at the end of the tunnel, and some 10000+ lines of code later, there was helga.

The big ideas are 1. may you happily skincare and may your skin care - for tis season we must glow, and for all seasons we must glow - and 2. may your finding your possible-next-fav skincare be easier, and more fun than it's been in a while - there's a lot out there, each with a promise, each asking for our coins. Using helga, I hope we can discover better possible choices.

Til the next one, happy exploring.
