Skincare brand True North developed a [skin-scanning machine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-skin-observer) called My Skin Navigator in 2016 that is used in its medical centers and it is now introducing the SkinCoach app as a more accessible way for consumers to get a diagnosis via their own mobile devices.

With the SkinCoach app, iOS and Android users will be able to get an [assessment of their skin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hautai-face-analysis-30) based on several factors, including everything from redness and dehydration to dryness and lines. Following a diagnosis, consumers will be able to get [product recommendations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-skincare-product-recommendation) from True North that will help to improve their conditions, which may range from mild to severe.

The SkinCoach app collects a user’s location, as well as a region's UV index and air quality from the photos shared with the app and even reveals a user's "skin age."
