15 Phone-Powered Beauty Accessories

There are countless products and apps that will tell consumers more or less what they need to know about their skin but many people are looking for a highly personalized level of care and as such are turning to phone-powered skincare accessories. These kinds of accessories are capable of being attached to provide detailed incredibly accurate readings of the skin's hydration levels, susceptibility to damage from UV rays, map the face to identify and prevent future breakouts or even make personalized product recommendations.

While many of these handheld skincare accessories are meant to be paired with a companion app, others take the form of plug-ins that can be affixed right to a smartphone device itself—examples of this include Neutrogena's innovative SkinScanner and Beautivision brand's SmartEye mobile technology.
