Acne spray
The spray comes after washing, when the bathroom is nearly finished and the mind is already in bed. The sting on freshly washed skin makes the step easy to skip, and the pictures below put it back in its place in the sequence.

About this visual support
Skin care only works if it is repeated. A step done every other evening gives roughly half the result, and acne spray sits at the very end of the chain, when the evening is over and the energy went with it. Add the fact that it can sting for a moment on freshly washed skin, and there are two reasons to skip it rather than one.
Visual support removes the memory work. When wash, dry, spray and done are four pictures in a row, the spray is no longer something to remember but something that stands second to last. It also makes the sting easier to tolerate, because the next picture shows how little is left.
One tip that often goes a long way is to keep the bottle out beside the towel rather than in the cabinet, and to put the picture card on the mirror at the child's eye level. In Routined the whole evening routine can live as one sequence where the spray has a fixed place, and the app can be tried for fourteen days at no cost.
