What does the Skin Vibe Check measure?

The analysis reads your selfie across the dimensions that make up how skin looks: shine and oil signals (where and how strongly light reflects), texture (smoothness versus visible roughness and pores), tone evenness (redness and dark-spot patterns), visible blemishes, and hydration signals (dullness, micro-lines). Each dimension is scored, and together they roll up into your overall skin score from 0 to 100.

Alongside the score you get a skin type estimate — oily, dry, combination, sensitive-leaning, or normal — and a Fitzpatrick phototype estimate (I–VI), the standard scale for how skin responds to sun, which helps frame sun-care advice for your tone.

The face map: seeing where the score comes from

A single number can't tell you that your forehead is oily while your cheeks are parched. The face-map overlay can: each detected signal is plotted on the zone it came from, so combination patterns, cheek redness, and nose congestion all show up exactly where they live. It's the difference between a grade and marked homework — and for combination skin especially, the map is the main event.

How should I read my score?

Two rules. First, the number is a snapshot of how your skin photographs today — sleep, hydration, hormones, and lighting all move it a few points. Don't read a single check as a verdict. Second, the trend is the product: the same algorithm scoring the same face monthly turns "I think my skin's improving" into a line you can look at. Score dips also have diagnostic value — a drop concentrated in the hydration dimension after a week of new actives is your barrier filing a complaint.

What the score is not: a beauty rating, a comparison to other people, or a medical assessment. It's your face versus your face, over time.

Getting an accurate check

  • Light: face a window in daylight; avoid overhead bathroom lighting, which paints false shadows and shine.
  • Skin: bare — no makeup, no filters, ideally an hour after cleansing so your natural oil pattern shows.
  • Consistency: same light, same time of day for tracking checks, so changes come from your skin rather than your bathroom.

From here, the Routine Builder turns your results into a routine, and the other twelve analyses go deeper on individual dimensions.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is the skin score a rating of how attractive I am?
No. It scores visible skin signals — shine, texture, tone, blemishes, hydration — against a healthy-skin baseline, not against other people or any beauty standard. A model and a marathon of bad sleep can share the same score.
Why does my score change day to day?
Because your skin does: water intake, sleep, hormones, weather, and lighting all shift the visible signals a few points. For meaningful comparison, check under consistent conditions and watch the monthly trend, not the daily wobble.
What is a Fitzpatrick phototype?
A dermatology-standard scale (I–VI) describing how skin responds to UV — from always-burns to never-burns. Beeuty estimates yours from your selfie and uses it to frame sun-care guidance. It's an estimate for cosmetic education, not a clinical assessment.
Does a low score mean something is wrong with my skin?
It means the photo showed several visible signals worth addressing — often as simple as dehydration plus a harsh cleanser. The face map shows exactly what pulled the score down. For anything persistent or painful, see a dermatologist; the score is cosmetic information, not a diagnosis.
A quick note: Beeuty is a cosmetic and educational app, not a medical device. Its analyses estimate how your skin looks in a photo — they do not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. If a spot, rash, or mole worries you, or a concern persists or gets worse, please see a dermatologist.
