Simplifying Skincare

Introduction

In the dynamic landscape of skincare, the abundance of information often overwhelms consumers. Through qualitative interviews and personal experiences, it became evident that individuals struggle with identifying suitable products, establishing routines, and maintaining consistent practices. Recognizing this market gap, a team of MBA students at Anderson embarked on a capstone project to develop an app that not only addresses these challenges but also incorporates principles from behavioral psychology to enhance user engagement.

Problem Statement
The problem addressed by Glow Guide is the absence of a comprehensive app solution in the skincare market, which leaves users overwhelmed by information and lacking guidance in identifying suitable products and establishing routines.
Solution
Named Glow Guide, the app aims to empower users to discover and achieve their skincare goals through a simplified approach. The tagline, "Discover Your Best Skin," encapsulates the essence of the app's value proposition. Glow Guide is designed to educate, simplify, and maintain users' skincare routines.

Solutions Breakdown

Glow Guide's value proposition revolves around its ability to simplify skincare for users, making it more accessible and manageable. By leveraging behavioral psychology principles, the app seeks to encourage consistent engagement and facilitate positive habit formation. The app's core features include:

Educate
Quizzes: Users are guided through quizzes designed to identify their skin type and skincare goals. These assessments serve as an accessible starting point for establishing a personalized skincare routine.
Simplify
Personalized Routine: Based on quiz results, Glow Guide provides users with a simple skincare routine tailored to their needs. These routines are designed to be completed in 10 minutes or less, eliminating the guesswork from skincare.

Product Recommendations: The app offers generic product recommendations, such as gel cleansers and SPF moisturizers, to streamline the shopping process without endorsing specific brands.
Maintain
Reminders: Glow Guide utilizes push notifications to remind users to complete their skincare routine in the morning and evening. Users have the flexibility to customize notification times based on their preferences.

Incentives: To encourage consistency, the app incorporates a streak system where users are rewarded for completing their routines consistently. Milestones, such as one week of consecutive routines, unlock rewards such as coupons, exclusive content, or product samples.
