When you start a new skin or hair treatment, the daily changes can be so subtle that they’re easy to miss.

Let’s be honest — most of us check the mirror far too often. Whether it’s a new acne cream, dark spot treatment, or hair growth formula, we’re constantly analyzing our reflection. But that’s exactly why real progress can slip right past us.

Taking before-and-after photos helps you see what the mirror can’t. A “before” picture captures your true starting point, and when you look back weeks later, you’ll often be surprised at how much your skin or hair has actually improved.

Progress happens quietly — small changes build up until one day, you realize how far you’ve come. So before starting your next treatment, snap that photo. It’s one of the best ways to stay motivated and see your transformation unfold.
