Glow Timer is the first app built specifically for skincare device routines. We support Lyma, ReVive, Solawave, and Lightstim handheld wands. Select your device and Glow Timer suggests the manufacturer's recommended interval. Tap the face map to set exactly where you treat, name your routine and save it. Short on time? Build a shorter routine alongside your full one and use the last treated date to focus on where you need it most. Build as many routines as you need! Choose from four face shapes to personalize your routine, and pick a colorway - Rhubarb, Mulberry or Fig - to match your mood. Glow Timer makes consistency easier and helps you get the results you want.
