What this tool does
Your skin is the canvas for every photo you take. But here is what most people do not realize: how your skin looks in photos has more to do with lighting and camera technique than your actual skin quality. This Skin Quality Rater analyzes your photo to separate real skin concerns from photo artifacts, then gives you practical tips to achieve that smooth, even complexion in every shot—without heavy filters or expensive products.
Photo is clear and well-lit (can actually see skin texture).
No heavy beauty filters or smoothing effects applied.
Lighting is even (not creating artificial shadows or shine).
Face is in focus (blur hides real skin quality).
Photo represents typical lighting conditions (not extreme).
No obvious glare or reflection on skin.
Color balance looks natural (not too warm or cool).
Photo is recent (represents current skin condition).

Do / Don't
Quick pitfalls checklist for faster improvements.
- Use soft, diffused natural light (window light is ideal).
- Face the light source directly for even illumination.
- Use a mattifying primer if you have oily skin.
- Keep skin hydrated—dehydration shows up on camera.
- Blot excess oil before photos (not during).
- Use the 2x lens to reduce distortion and texture exaggeration.
- Take photos after your skincare has fully absorbed.
- Do not use heavy beauty filters—they look fake.
- Do not use harsh direct flash (creates shine and shadows).
- Do not take photos in very low light (noise exaggerates texture).
- Do not over-matte your skin (can look flat and unnatural).
- Do not compare yourself to heavily edited beauty photos.
- Do not use ultra-close wide-angle shots (distorts everything).
- Do not stress—most skin issues in photos are lighting issues.
