PinkMirror Facial Aesthetics Studio can now assess the quality of your skin by precisely examining four major aspects: the degree of pigmentation, the presence of texture, the level of oiliness, and the presence of rhytides.
Skin pigmentation is assessed by examining the evenness and depth of coloration. Variations in skin pigmentation lead to the identification of four levels of discoloration, which include spots or patches of any size. These levels are categorized into four stages as follows: No visible pigmentation, Mild pigmentation, Moderate pigmentation, and Severe pigmentation.
Skin texture refers to the feel of someone’s skin when touched, which can range from Smooth, Textured, Rough, and Bumpy based on surface irregularities and variations in the skin. The key to sorting skin texture is how you feel if you touch the face with your fingers. This can be classified into four categories: Smooth, Textured, Rough, and Bumby.
When it comes to oiliness, we commonly break it down into four distinct categories, each defined by the skin’s appearance: Dry Skin, Normal Skin, Combination Skin, and Oily Skin.
Lastly, rhytides, or skin lines and wrinkles, offer another dimension to the evaluation of skin quality. They can be categorized into four levels based on their visibility and severity: No Visible Lines, Fine Lines but no wrinkles, Early Wrinkles, and Deep Wrinkles.
These four factors combined can help deliver a comprehensive overview of skin quality.
Skin Pigmentation
Skin pigmentation is evaluated based on the uniformity and intensity of the color. Observing these characteristics, we can determine four distinct levels of pigmentation that manifest as spots or patches of varying sizes:
- No Visible Pigmentation: The skin exhibits a uniform tone with no discernible spots or patches. The complexion appears even throughout.
- Mild Pigmentation: Minor discoloration is present, manifesting as faint spots or patches that are not readily noticeable.
- Moderate Pigmentation: Discoloration becomes more pronounced, with spots or patches that are more visible and cover a larger area of the skin.
- Severe Pigmentation: There is a significant presence of dark, prominent spots or patches that are widely distributed across the skin.
Skin Texture
Skin texture refers to the feel of someone’s skin when touched, which can range from Smooth, Textured, Rough, and Bumpy based on surface irregularities and variations in the skin. The key to sorting skin texture is how you feel if you touch the face with your fingers.
- Smooth: The texture of the skin is healthy and smooth no noticeable irregularities. Smooth skin has a refined and even texture or no texture at all. It appears soft, supple, and free from noticeable irregularities. This type of skin is often associated with a youthful and healthy appearance.
- Textured: The texture of the skin is uneven or non-smooth appearance. Reason: mild skin conditions, such as minor acne. Textured skin refers to subtle surface irregularities that create a slightly uneven or non-smooth appearance. It can include small bumps or a slightly rough texture. Textured skin is common among individuals with certain skin types or mild skin conditions, such as minor acne.
- Rough: The texture of the skin is dry, flaky, or rough to the touch. Often caused by excessive dryness, sun damage, or certain skin conditions. Rough skin has a noticeably uneven and coarse texture. It may feel dry, flaky, or rough to the touch. Rough skin is often caused by excessive dryness, sun damage, or certain skin conditions.
- Bumpy: The texture of the skin is Bumpy, very rough or uneven to the touch. Overall, face appearance is caused by severe acne, folliculitis, or certain skin conditions. Bumpy skin refers to raised bumps or lesions on the skin’s surface. These bumps can vary in size and appearance and may be caused by various factors, including severe acne, folliculitis, or certain skin conditions. Bumpy skin may feel very rough or uneven to the touch.
Skin Oilness
Skin oiliness is typically categorized into four types, based on its appearance:
- Dry Skin: Dry skin can produce almost invisible pores, a dull complexion, red patches, and less elasticity. It is more prone to aging and irritation.
- Normal Skin: Normal skin is not too dry or too oily. It has no or few imperfections, no severe sensitivity, barely visible pores, and a radiant complexion.
- Combination Skin: This skin type can be dry or normal in some areas and oily in others, such as the T-zone (nose, forehead, and chin). It can have pores that look larger than normal because they’re more open, blackheads, and shiny skin.
- Oily Skin: Oily skin can produce enlarged pores, dull or shiny, thick complexion, blackheads, pimples, or other blemishes. Oiliness can change depending upon the time of year or the weather.
Skin Rhytides
Skin rhytides, or skin lines and wrinkles, offer another dimension to the evaluation of skin quality. They can be categorized into four levels based on their visibility and severity.
- No visible lines: Skin is smooth without any visible lines or wrinkles.
- Fine Lines, but no wrinkles: This level is characterized by very fine, barely noticeable lines, usually noticeable only up close or when facial expressions are made. They’re often found around the eyes and mouth due to smiling, squinting, or other facial expressions.
- Early Wrinkles: These are visible lines, especially with facial movements, but may not be readily apparent when the face is at rest.
- Deep Wrinkles: Visible lines and wrinkles are apparent even when the face is at rest. They’re typically found in areas of frequent movement, like the forehead, around the eyes, and mouth.

I’ve tried many skin products but non of them have been great results. Idk what to do, I have rough skin and combination with oily and dry skin.
Oily skin
I have blackheads, pores and especially whiteheads on my chin area and nose. And, I also have something like permanent black colour on the both corner of my lips. And on top of it, I easily get tan on my face even though I apply sunscreen on the daily basis when I have to go outside.
Dealing with blackheads, enlarged pores, whiteheads, and hyperpigmentation around the lips, along with easy tanning despite sunscreen use, can be addressed with a multi-faceted skincare approach. Here are some general recommendations that might help with these concerns:
Consistent Skincare Routine: A daily regimen tailored to your skin type can help with blackheads and whiteheads. This might include a gentle cleanser, exfoliants like salicylic acid or glycolic acid, and non-comedogenic moisturizers.
Regular Exfoliation: Chemical exfoliants like beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) are effective for blackheads and whiteheads because they can penetrate oil to unclog pores.
Professional Treatments: Procedures such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or extraction performed by a dermatologist can significantly reduce blackheads and whiteheads.
Hyperpigmentation Treatment: The dark spots at the corners of your lips could be a form of hyperpigmentation. Topical treatments like hydroquinone, vitamin C serums, kojic acid, or niacinamide might be helpful.
Sun Protection: It’s excellent that you’re using sunscreen daily; make sure it’s broad-spectrum with at least SPF 30. Reapply every two hours when outdoors, and consider adding physical barriers like wide-brimmed hats and UV-protective clothing.
Barrier Repair: If your skin barrier is compromised, it can lead to issues like persistent blackheads and sensitivity to sun. Products with ceramides, fatty acids, and hyaluronic acid can help repair and maintain the skin barrier.
Diet and Hydration: Maintaining a healthy diet rich in antioxidants and staying hydrated can support skin health and may improve resistance to sun damage.
Avoid Picking and Squeezing: This can lead to scarring and more pronounced dark spots.
If these concerns persist or you notice any significant changes in your skin, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist in person. They can provide a personalized treatment plan, which may include prescription medications or in-office procedures that are more effective for your specific skin issues.
How is the average skin quality determined? Is it by age average, user average, or an inclusive general public average?
