SK-II Magic Ring Skin Analysis Test Machine

With my friend @floranze recommendation, I booked myself in to visit SK-II Counter at David Jones Sydney which has this Magic Ring Machine which suppose to do Skin Analysis to see your skin condition and current skin problem such as fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, firmness  and your skin age (!).  I totally blew out of my mind.  It is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Skin analysis is important so that I can see and understand my skin conditions better with measurable results. It helps to find the suitable skincare that my skin needs and to improve my skin too. Thanks goodness it is a complimentary service!

The Magic Ring uses in-depth facial imaging and digital analysis where skin is graded and given an instant numerical score. This skin score is derived from quantifying and qualifying baseline conditions in the 5 Dimensions of Crystal Clear Skin.

1.Texture Refinement: Skin texture conditions are analysed to determine smoothness, along with the pore’s total area scale by measuring concentric sebaceous gland on the cheek.

My result: average.  Smooth!

2.Firmness Power: Skin firmness levels of the cheek skin, pore conditions and wrinkles of nasolabial folds -- better known as ‘laugh lines’ – are assessed. The Ageless Vector also provides further analysis of skin’s firmness and elasticity, based on the total amount of lines and angles of the skin in these three areas.

My result: below average.  Omgosh, the result shows my skin at my chin area is 'unfirm'. Another word is sagging~ 

3. Wrinkle Resilience: Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, where the thinnest and most sensitive area is, are measured based on total length to evaluate the level of skin wrinkles.

My result: above average.  Great! But eye area sign of little dryness.

4. Spot Control: Spots and colour unevenness are analysed based on feature contrast and shape, before classification according to depth by spectrum constitution. Both visible spots seen by the eye as well as the hidden spots in the basal epidermal layer are picked up and calculated based on their total size.

My result: this hit me! The screen shows my hidden dark spots underneath my skin -> a lot and scary! You cant see in my face now but of I dont do something now the little scary spots slowly shown when you aged!  

Finally 5, Radiance Enhancement: Skin’s brilliance and brightness are evaluated by the reflection of the light upon skin’s surface and evenness in texture in terms of wrinkles, spots and dullness.

My results: my skin is dull even though ypu cannot by your eye.  The skin itself does not alive and slightly below average and I tried to give a lot of excuse to it.  Ie: dont have time! Sleep late! :p

In Summary you could see the bar chart of my REAL condition. Also the best part of this machine can see how old is your skin and can also see your skin condition on the screen if you use SKII products from 3wks to 2 yrs.

My result: My skin is 2 years younger then my real age! That make me feel much better! ^.^

You also can see the photo of your skin if you do not use SPF, brighthening, hydration products... can u imagine your skin is sagging? Dark spots and uneven skin? Fine wrinkle, line and wrinkle? I didnt ask the SA show me that part because I chose not to see it. 

I am only starting to use SKII products a few days and I hope to see the next results in 3 months time.

Thanks to @mrjanallinone his youtube thoroughly and clear explanation and @floranze encouragement.
