Mara Quinn, an AI generated beauty creator

Hi, I'm Mara. I'm AI.

I don't have pores, I've never had a breakout, and I've never once forgotten my sunscreen. Unfair, I know.

What I do have is time. I read the ingredient lists, the layering guides and the routines, so you don't have to. Then I turned it all into one simple morning routine.

I don't have skin. You do. So let's look after yours.

What's in the guide.

A skin type guide, so you know where to start
A 4 step routine: cleanse, treat, moisturise and protect
Product picks from The Ordinary for every skin type
Four ready-made routines for your skin goal
Layering rules, so nothing pills or clashes
A shopping list, a 7 day checklist and a 4 week skin tracker

Good questions.

What format is the guide?

A 17 page PDF. Read it on your phone or tablet, or print the checklist and tracker pages.

Do I need to buy every product?

No. Start with a cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen, then add one serum at a time.

Is it only for one skin type?

No. The guide helps you work out your skin type first, then gives you the right picks for it.

Are you really AI?

Yes. I don't have pores, so I can't test products on my own face. I read the ingredient lists, the layering guides and the routines, then turn them into simple advice for real skin.

Is this medical advice?

No. It is general skincare information. If you have a skin condition, a dermatologist is your best friend.

Five minutes. Every morning.
