The conditiSon of skin represents human’s health and that is one of the important things about beauty women are interested in. This research enables individuals to diagnose skin condition without any technical devices and knowledge. We suggest skin diagnosis algorithms for evaluating the texture and stains using mobile cameras. The precision of evaluating texture of face is 89.0%, that of back of hands is 93.2[%], and that of arm is 46.6[%]. The precision of extracting stains is 84.0[%]. A dermatologist says this algorithm can be used practically.
