- Photos are your most valuable documentation tool, but only if taken consistently. Poor photo technique leads to misleading comparisons that either overstate or understate actual changes.
- Use identical lighting for every photo session. Natural daylight from a window works well, but ensure it's the same window, same time of day, same weather conditions when possible. Indoor lighting should use the same fixtures at the same intensity.
- Maintain consistent angles. Straight-on, 45-degree left, 45-degree right, and profile views capture different aspects of facial structure. Mark your standing position or use a phone mount to ensure identical positioning.
- Remove variables. No makeup, same cleansing routine, same time relative to product application. Facial expression should be neutral and consistent.
- Document at regular intervals. Week one baseline, then monthly at minimum. Weekly photos provide more granular tracking but require more effort.
- Store images with clear date stamps in a dedicated folder for easy comparison.
