Skincare routine cards: AM, PM, product and patch test cards in a box

Skincare routine cards in true 3 by 5 and 4 by 6 inch index sizes, a compact card system where each routine, product, patch test and week of skin notes has its own card in a little box. There are 27 undated pages with eight card designs in each size, lined and dotted reverse sides, and dividers for Routine, Products, Skin log and Shop.

The US Letter and A4 PDF files are an instant download. No printed cards are mailed.

How skincare routine cards keep your shelf and skin organized

Morning and evening cards set out every step in sequence, with the product and how much to use or a quick tip, and the evening card flags which nights are for a treatment. Each product earns a card of its own, noting what kind it is, its key ingredients, the day you opened it, how long it lasts once open, a use by date, a score out of five and whether to buy it again. That way you always know what is open and what deserves a repeat.

Before anything new enters the lineup, the patch test card gives you a daily check for redness, itching and bumps. The weekly skin diary records sleep, water, stress and breakouts, making patterns easier to spot. A full page tracker stays in a binder, but these cards fit on a bathroom shelf, and you print more of only the designs you need.

Who these skincare cards are for

• Anyone shaping a simple morning and evening routine who wants the steps written out in order
• Skincare fans with a crowded shelf who want to see what is open, when it expires and what to restock
• People introducing new products one by one who like to patch test and take notes first
• Anyone with a full page skincare tracker who would like a smaller card version for the bathroom
• Index card lovers who prefer a neat box to a binder

Card sizes, design and printing

• Elegant, minimal style: white backgrounds with soft blush pink touches that use little ink
• Generous margins, so a home printer will not clip anything
• True trim sizes: 3 x 5 in (7.6 by 12.7 cm), three on a page, and 4 x 6 in (10.2 by 15.2 cm), two on a page, with crop marks, set on US Letter or A4 paper
• Undated, so you can begin on any day of the year
• A card system rather than a full page planner, with one card per routine, product, test or week
• The reverse sides land right behind the fronts when you print on both sides and turn the page along its long edge
• Free of brand names, so it suits whatever products you already own
• For sturdy cards, use 200 to 250 gsm (65 to 90 lb) card stock, keep the scale at 100 percent instead of fitting to the page, and trim on the crop marks with a paper cutter
