Problem Sticking To Treatment Plan

My dermatologist gave me a treatment plan, but the problem is that I am awful at keeping up with a skin regimen! I can hardly remember to wash my face everyday and at night sometimes I'm so tired that I forget to wash off my make up. How can I remember the plan? It's a bit complicated such as applying a retin-a every other day. Any advice for sticking with your regimens?

Do you have a smartphone? One thing you can do (takes a little bit of work, but everything worth having takes work) is to use some kind of an alarm- or notification-system that will alert you as to when you need to do a part of your regimen. I personally use Google Calendar to notify me of events and important dates in my life. I just have Google Calendar send me email alerts to an account that is linked to my smartphone so when an event is coming up, I get a notification with an email that includes all the details. For example, you could easily enter data relating to applying retin-a every other day for however long a time period you want (you can set the event to repeat every other day) - it does the remembering for you.

Sticky notes on your mirror, or if you don't look in the mirror in the morning, on the first thing you look at, like on the fridge.

Hmm, do you mean people seeing your calendar online? You can set an event to private or public so either just you can see it or everyone you're connected to on Google can see it.
