Best Lighting for Skin Scan

Window light, distance, and a bare face: the setup that lets the next AISkincare scan be compared with the last one.

What Is the Best Lighting for a Skin Scan?

Natural, even lighting in front of a window (without direct sun on your face) usually gives the most consistent results. Avoid harsh shadows, overhead-only light, or mixed color temperatures (e.g., daylight plus warm indoor bulbs), which can make your skin look different from scan to scan.

The app guides you to position your face and capture when the frame is steady. Clean, product-free skin and a neutral expression also help. For more on getting reliable scans, see how the AI skin scan works and skin scan accuracy.

Tips for Consistent Results

Use the same type of lighting when you can, face the camera directly, and keep your face clean and makeup-free. Scanning at a similar time of day (e.g., morning or evening) helps when you compare scans over time. If you usually scan in the morning after cleansing, stick to that pattern so your progress history is comparable.

Avoid scanning right after exercising or in very humid or very dry environments if you want consistency; those can temporarily affect hydration and redness appearance.

What to Avoid

Avoid direct sunlight on your face (causes squinting and uneven lighting), backlighting (your face will be in shadow), and yellow or dim lighting that changes skin tone. Flash can work but may not match natural-light scans, so for the best trend data, prefer consistent natural or soft indoor light.
