You know it. We know it. The whole damn world knows it. Skincare can get really expensive. And sometimes, it’d just be nice to look good without spending the price equivalent of an arm or leg. But for that to happen, you’d need to know which products work the best, in order to streamline your buying process and save money.
That’s where the YouCam Makeup app comes in.
The app, which uses smart facial detection to give real-time makeovers, has just released a new feature that allows you to determine if all those expensive skincare products you’ve been loading up on actually help.
Here’s how: after you upload a selfie, the app goes straight to work by highlighting areas of your face with wrinkles, spots, and dark circles. It will then proceed to calibrate “scores” or numbers that will indicate how healthy your skin is, compared to a list of other people in YouCam’s database.
Tracking your skin effectively is also pretty easy. All you need to do is take selfies in the same location with the same lighting, and voila, the app will have more accurate data.
Now we know, the whole idea of pointing out your flaws on a daily basis and comparing them to other people sounds demoralising. But it really isn’t, especially once you find that your skin health improves after selecting the right products. Just think of it as a sort of Fitbit, but for your skin.
Who knows, you might also just be able to save a lot of money in the long run, and be able to afford that exotic Maldives vacation you’ve wanted for the longest time. Oh, and great skin. That’d be awesome too, yeah?
Download the YouCam Makeup app on the App Store or Google Play.
