   The ‘My Skin Advisor’ app gives you a personalised skin consultation and product recommendations. This innovation by The Pond’s Institute, not only uses facial recognition technology, it also takes into account your skin goal, as well as your age, lifestyle habits and geographical information such as the local environment and pollution levels (all elements that affect the skin). This allows the app to highlight your specific skin concerns and recommend a regime specific to your wants and needs.
   So it enables you to get a free digital analysis of your skin that uses breakthrough technology to recommend the most ideal products required to fulfill your specific skincare needs.

  I too have experimented with a lot of skincare products, trying to find the perfect fit for my skincare needs. So I was really excited when I first heard about this Skin Analysis App from Pond's and couldn't wait to get my Skin Analysis done for the first time, learn about the science behind my skin and get a skincare regime best suited for me. In fact a few months ago I actually got the chance to visit the renowned Pond's Institute in Connecticut, interact with their esteemed Scientists and learn about the science behind this legendary brand, it was a really novel and enriching experience. So this App, especially coming from one of India's most trusted skincare brands Pond's, was something I was really looking forward to working with.

     The first step of the App is to Select Your Skin Goal from the options listed, as per your skincare needs. I chose Fairness & Even Tone, as living in a city like Mumbai all my life with it's harsh sun and shooting outdoors often for the blog, has caused a few dark spots and raised uneven tone concerns for me.

   Analysis of your skin now becomes surprisingly easy with this Skin Advisor App. All you have to do is first click a picture/upload from your gallery on your smartphone, tablet or computer/laptop  
   Make sure your face is clean and devoid of make up, pull your hair off your face in a bun or ponytail, lighting is key - make sure you have good & even lighting across your face and make sure to maintain a front profile for the picture.

   I preferred clicking a picture on my smartphone and then uploading to my laptop for the analysis, as the camera quality is way better than my laptop. 
   So here is the picture uploaded for the skin analysis. I was a little nervous, but also anxious to know the results. So the App uses the Facial Analysis tool to analyse your skin from the picture uploaded.

   Apart from the facial analysis tool, the App also takes into consideration your Age Bracket and Skin Type, that you are required to select from the options given. I chose Dry for my skin type.

   The app also takes into account your Geographical information, as the environmental factors play a major role on impacting the quality of our skin, so you are required to confirm the city you live in, before proceeding with your complete skin analysis.

    Living in an over populated city like Mumbai does have it's downside where my skin is concerned, as you can see from the image below, the high temperatures,extremely high levels of humidity, harsh UV Rays and pretty high levels of pollution can really play havoc with your skin. So your geographical information is another important factor that the App considers for your Skin Analysis.

    So apart from the facial analysis tool, your age & skin type, geographical information, the App also weighs in your Lifestyle factors like your daily sun exposure, water & caffeine consumption, stress levels and sleep duration. According to your daily routine, you have to fill in your details, so that the App can get all round information about your lifestyle, before concluding its skin analysis and giving out the corresponding product recommendations.

   So finally I got My Skin Analysis results and I had a few dark spots and some patches of uneven skin tone. In fact if you look closely the green dots on my picture actually show the actual places where dark spots exist on my face, like in my case, around my forehead and around my chin.

It provides you in depth information on each product, it uses and benefits to improve your skin.
