Respekt Beauty Meditation - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

Not myself, but we have an app development team from Silicon Valley to carry out the technology we are implementing.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

We continue to update our UI/UX for the users to reach and achieve their beauty and skin solutions intuitively. With the ever-changing digital environment, the most challenging part of designing our app is presenting it so that users can integrate wellness care for the best beauty results.

How long have you been working on this app?

5 years since 2019.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

Skin solution, easy-to-use, reasonable price.

Solving their current skin problems by minimizing the effect of stress on the skin. Our app is to help people solve stress factor that causes skin disorders and minimize stress/inflammation response caused by skin problems.

Our approach is in line with psychodermatology(treating skin disorders dermatology, psychiatrist, and psychology teamed up) and targets especially Physchodermatology patients as well as people aiming to improve their beauty.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

We are a digital beauty(health) company, and I am proud that we are the only beauty company offering solutions for the underlying cause of various skin problems. Solutions for skin problems are two-fold, topical and fundamental.

Digital format, especially a mobile app, can be the perfect form to treat fundamental factors (stress/ emotional wellness) for healthy and beautiful skin for its spontaneity and cost-effectiveness.

There is a huge movement to integrate beauty and wellness in the industry. While other beauty companies view beauty and wellness as separate entities and try to offer cosmetics and health supplements, we aim at wellness-based beauty, and the app enables the users to achieve it.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

We are close to launching our V.3 Respekt Beauty Meditation app.

The key difference of the new version is that it is more user-friendly, where users can jump directly from their current skin problems to an instant solution.

Our new version is designed to help our users to reach their personal Beauty goals based on enhancing their wellness. Respekt Beauty Meditation V.3 reminds and leads our users to integrate wellness into their skin more easily and beauty management by popup goal status feature and wellness check-ins at the end of each meditation session.

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?
