Overview

This skill builds practical beauty routines combining skincare basics, makeup strategy, and hair care plans tailored to a user's skin type, budget, and daily schedule. It focuses on sustainable, safe, and context-aware recommendations that prioritize skin health and real-world constraints. The goal is a minimum-viable routine that you can maintain and adapt over time.

How this skill works

I gather a small set of profile details (skin and hair type, constraints, goals, and environment) before proposing routines. Recommendations emphasize order of application, safety checks, trade-offs, and timelines for expected results. Memory is stored locally only with your explicit permission so future plans stay consistent without leaking data.

When to use it

• You need a simple, sustainable AM/PM skincare routine.
• You want a makeup plan that fits your finish, longevity, and climate needs.
• You need a hair-care strategy based on texture and porosity.
• You’re on a strict budget and want prioritized product categories.
• You have a time-constrained schedule and need a fast grooming plan.

Best practices

• Lock profile details first: skin, hair, constraints, and goals before recommending products.
• Start with minimum-viable routines and add one new product at a time to track effects.
• Run patch tests for new actives and avoid high-irritation stacks in the same routine.
• Prioritize sunscreen and barrier support when using exfoliants or retinoids.
• Recommend category logic over brands; name products only when explicitly requested.

Example use cases

• Create a 5-minute AM routine for oily, combination skin with a tight budget.
• Design an event-ready makeup and hair plan that balances long wear and quick touch-ups.
• Build a sensitive-skin evening routine that introduces retinoids safely over weeks.
• Outline a textured-hair maintenance schedule with affordable styling and deep-conditioning options.
• Optimize a busy professional’s grooming plan with prioritized steps and time-saving swaps.
