AI skincare analysis technology harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to analyze various aspects of the skin, from texture and pigmentation to hydration and pore size, with remarkable precision. By employing advanced algorithms and machine learning, AI skin analysis can offer personalized recommendations and skincare routines tailored to an individual's unique skin type and concerns.
This not only enhances the effectiveness of skincare products but also empowers users to make informed decisions about their skincare regimen. With the integration of AI skin analysis, individuals can now embark on a journey towards healthier, more radiant skin, guided by data-driven insights and the promise of more effective skincare solutions.
Call YMK.init() before calling YMK.openCameraKit():
YMK.init({
faceDetectionMode: 'skincare',
imageFormat: 'base64',
language: 'enu'
});Set faceDetectionMode in InitOptions to one of:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
makeup | Standard camera mode for virtual cosmetic try-on |
skincare | Standard skin analysis mode, close-up face capture |
hdskincare | HD Skin capture using webcams with ≥ 2560px width |
shadefinder | Skin Tone Analysis front-face capture |
hairlength | Full hair-length capture (from a distance) |
hairfrizziness | 3-phase capture: front, right-turn, left-turn |
hairtype | Same 3-phase multi-angle capture flow |
ring | Hand capture for ring try‑on |
wrist | Wrist capture for watch or bracelet try‑on |
necklace | Selfie capture for necklace try-on |
earring | Selfie capture for earring try-on |
Event examples:
YMK.addEventListener('faceQualityChanged', function(q) {
console.log('Quality updated:', q);
});See the full Events List below.
YMK.openCameraKit();This automatically:
- Shows the UI
- Opens webcam
- Begins real-time face quality monitoring
- Automatically captures when conditions are acceptable
Captured images arrive via:
YMK.addEventListener('faceDetectionCaptured', function(result) {
console.log(result.images);
});YMK.close();There are two options for controlling the visual output of AI Skin Analysis results: either generate multiple images, with each skin concern displayed as an independent mask, or produce a single blended image using the enable_mask_overlay parameter. By default, the system outputs multiple masks, giving you full control over how to blend each skin concern mask with the image.
Default: enable_mask_overlay false
Set enable_mask_overlay to true
The system provides a ZIP file with a 'skinanalysisResult' folder inside. This folder contains a 'score_info.json' file that includes all the detection scores and references to the result images.
The 'score_info.json' file contains all the skin analysis detection results, with numerical scores and the names of the corresponding output mask files.
The PNG files are detection result masks that can be overlaid on your original image. Simply use the alpha values in these PNG files to blend them with your original image, allowing you to see the detection results directly on the source image.

JSON Data Structure (score_info.json)
"all": A floating-point value between 1 and 100 representing the general skin condition. A higher score indicates healthier and more aesthetically pleasing skin condition.
"skin_age": AI-derived skin age relative to the general population distribution across all age groups.
Each category contains:
- "raw_score": A floating-point value ranging from 1 to 100. A higher score indicates healthier and more aesthetically pleasing skin condition.
- "ui_score": An integer ranging from 1 to 100. The UI Score functions primarily as a psychological motivator in beauty assessment. We adjust the raw scores to produce more favorable results, acknowledging that consumers generally prefer positive evaluations regarding their skin health. This calibration serves to instill greater confidence in users while maintaining the underlying beauty psychology framework.
- "output_mask_name": The filename of the corresponding output mask image.

|---|---|---|---|

| HD Skincare | long side <= 2560, short side >= 1080 | < 10MB | jpg/jpeg/png |
Warning: It is your resposibility to resize input images based on the Supported Dimensions of HD or SD Skincare before runing AI Skin Analysis. It is highly recommended to use portrait rather than landscape aspect ratio as input.
- Take off your glasses and make sure bangs are not covering your forehead
- Make sure that you’re in a well-lit environment
- Remove makeup to get more accurate results
- Look straight into the camera and keep your face in the center
We will check the image quality to ensure it is suitable for AI Skin Analysis. Please make sure the face occupies approximately 60–80% of the image width, without any overlays or obstructions. The lighting should be bright and evenly distributed, avoiding overexposure or blown-out highlights. The pose should be front-facing, neutral, and relaxed, with the mouth closed and eyes open.
You should fully reveal your forehead and brush your fringe back or tie your hair to ensure the best quality. It is recommended that you remove your spectacles for optimal AI Skin Analysis performance, although this is not mandatory.
Warning: The width of the face needs to be greater than 60% of the width of the image.
| Error Code | Description |
|---|---|
| error_below_min_image_size | Input image resolution is too small |
| error_exceed_max_image_size | Input image resolution is too large |
| error_src_face_too_small | The face area in the uploaded image is too small. The width of the face needs to be greater than 60% of the width of the image. |
| error_src_face_out_of_bound | The face area in the uploaded image is out of bound |
| error_lighting_dark | The lighting in the uploaded image is too dark |

The JavaScript Camera Kit provides a complete in-browser camera solution designed for high-accuracy face-based imaging tasks. It includes:
- Camera permission handling
- Real-time face detection
- Automatic face quality validation (lighting, pose, angle, distance)
- Guided capture UI
- Multi-step capture flows for advanced hair/face tasks
- Support for both base64 and blob output formats
The module is particularly optimized for AI-driven image analysis, such as AI Skin Analysis (SD/HD), AI Face Tone Analysis, and hair-related analysis.
Include the JS Camera Kit SDK via CDN:
https://plugins-media.makeupar.com/v2.2-camera-kit/sdk.jsOnce loaded, the SDK installs a global YMK object.
The following sample demonstrates:
- Loading the JS Camera Kit SDK
- Implementing
window.ymkAsyncInit - Initializing the module
- Opening the camera
- Receiving captured images
