How to get a more consistent estimate
Use a recent, unfiltered photo taken in soft, even light. Keep the camera steady and avoid strong colored lighting, flash glare, or heavy makeup. Differences in exposure and white balance can change how skin tone and surface details appear to an image model.
For comparisons over time, use similar lighting and camera distance. A single photo is a snapshot; it does not measure how your skin feels, how it responds to products, or how it changes through the day.
Read metrics as observations, not grades
The panel presents several visual estimates, including skin tone-related values, an overall score, and individual metrics. These are generated from pixels in the submitted image. They are not clinical measurements, and a low or high number should not be taken as a judgment about your appearance or health.
Heat-map overlays help show where the tool found visual signals in the photo. They can be affected by shadows, facial hair, makeup, compression, and image quality. Turn the overlay off to return to the original image.
Use routine suggestions gently
Routine ideas are general starting points, such as keeping cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection simple. Choose products based on your own needs, preferences, and tolerances rather than a photo score alone. Introduce one new product at a time and follow its label.
If a product irritates your skin, stop using it and seek appropriate advice. For persistent, painful, or changing symptoms, consult a qualified healthcare professional instead of relying on an image tool.
Privacy and what this tool cannot do
The studio performs the image analysis in your browser for this experience. You choose whether to take a selfie or select a photo, and you can close the session when finished. See the site privacy notice for information about website-level data practices.

Questions people ask
Is the skin score a medical assessment?
No. It is an image-based estimate for general exploration and must not be used to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
Can lighting change the result?
Yes. Shadows, flash, colored lights, white balance, filters, and camera exposure can affect image-based estimates.
Should I follow every routine suggestion?
No. Use routine ideas as general prompts, consider your own tolerance and needs, and consult a qualified professional about persistent or concerning symptoms.
