## Messages to send Mindie
- Morning sunscreen: "Every day at 7:45am remind me to put on sunscreen before I leave"
- Night routine as a habit: "Track a daily habit: night skincare, check in with me every day at 10pm"
- A weekly step: "Every Sunday at 8pm remind me to do the face mask"

A skincare routine reminder on WhatsApp is a nudge in the morning and at night, so the routine you paid for actually gets used. With Mindie, send "every day at 7:45am remind me to put on sunscreen before I leave" and it arrives every morning.

Skincare only works with consistency, and that's the hard part. The morning rush skips sunscreen, a late night skips the evening routine, and the weekly steps get forgotten altogether.

## When to be reminded

- **Before you leave the house,** for sunscreen.
- **At a fixed time in the evening,** before you're too tired to bother.
- **Once a week** for steps you don't do daily, like a mask or exfoliating.

## Why routines slip

- **Late nights.** The evening routine is the first thing dropped when you're tired.
- **Weekly steps have no anchor.** Without a set day, "once a week" turns into once a month.
- **New products need a new habit,** and the first few weeks are when it's easiest to forget.

## Habits that help

- **Keep products where you'll see them,** by the toothbrush rather than in a drawer.
- **Pair it with brushing your teeth,** morning and night.
- **Note when you start something new,** so you know how long you've been using it.

## How Mindie handles it

1. **Set daily and weekly reminders** in one message or a voice note.
2. **Track the night routine as a habit** and reply done each evening to build a streak.
3. **Snooze it** if you're still out, like "snooze 1 hour".

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It isn't skin or medical advice.** For a skin concern, see a dermatologist or your doctor.
- **It doesn't order products** or connect to shops.
- **Reminders come only to your own chat.**

## FAQ

### Can I set different steps for different days?
Yes. Set a weekly reminder for each step, like exfoliating on Wednesdays and a mask on Sundays, alongside your daily ones.

### Can Mindie tell me which products to use?
No. Mindie reminds you of the routine you've chosen. For product or skin advice, ask a dermatologist or pharmacist.

### Can I keep a list of products I'm running low on?
Yes. Add them to a shopping list in Mindie and ask for the list when you're at the shop.

### Can I set morning and evening reminders?
Yes. Set two daily reminders or one habit, whichever you'd keep up. Mindie doesn't recommend products or routines.

### Can I set a reminder to replace products?
Yes. If a product has a use-by period after opening, set a reminder for that date when you open it.
