What is SkinEat AI?

SkinEat AI is a smart companion app that helps you understand how food affects your skin. Instead of focusing on calorie counting or strict diets, SkinEat AI provides skin-focused insights to help you make food choices that support hydration, balance, and glow.

How does SkinEat AI work?

Using SkinEat AI is simple:

  1. Scan your meals: Take a photo of your meal using the app's AI food scanner.
  2. Get instant insights: Our AI analyzes your meal and provides skin-focused feedback, including hydration, inflammation, and breakout risk scores.
  3. Track your Glow Score: See how your daily food choices contribute to your overall skin-friendly eating pattern.
  4. Receive daily insights: Get helpful feedback after each day about what supported your skin and what to adjust tomorrow.

What is the Glow Score?

The Glow Score is a simple, easy-to-understand metric that tracks your overall skin-friendly eating. It's calculated based on your daily food choices and shows how your meals support hydration, balance, and glow. The score ranges from 0-10, helping you see patterns over time without the stress of calorie counting.

What skin metrics does SkinEat AI track?

SkinEat AI provides clear, easy-to-understand scores for:

  • Hydration: How well your meals support skin hydration.
  • Inflammation: Indicators of foods that may contribute to inflammation.
  • Breakout Risk: Assessment of foods that may contribute to breakouts.

All metrics are designed to be informative, positive, and easy to follow — no shame, no "bad food" labels.

Do I need to count calories?

No! SkinEat AI focuses on how your meals support your skin's health, not on calorie counting or strict diet rules. We believe eating well for your skin shouldn't feel stressful. Simply scan your meals and get clear, personalized insights that help you make skin-friendly food choices every day.

Is SkinEat AI personalized to me?

Yes! Your insights adapt based on your skin type, eating habits, sleep quality, and cycle timing (optional). This helps you understand patterns unique to you and make food choices that work best for your individual skin needs.

Is SkinEat AI medical advice?

No. The information, insights, recommendations, and analysis provided by SkinEat AI are strictly for informational and educational purposes only. They are not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, dietary changes, or health-related concerns. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read or learned through the app.

How accurate is the AI food analysis?

SkinEat AI uses advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to analyze meal photos and provide insights. While we strive for accuracy, AI technology is not perfect and may produce errors or inaccurate results. The app's analysis is based on algorithmic processing and general nutritional data, and individual results may vary. We continuously work to improve the accuracy of our AI, but we cannot guarantee perfect accuracy for every meal scan.

What information does SkinEat AI collect?

SkinEat AI collects:

  • Meal photos: Images you scan to analyze food content.
  • Profile information: Your skin type, eating habits, and preferences to personalize your experience.
  • Optional health data: Sleep quality and cycle timing (for menstrual cycle tracking) to provide more personalized insights.
