Abstract

This research developed an Internet of Things (IoT)-based facial skin health monitoring system, with a focus on acne-prone skin. Facial skin is categorized into three main types: normal, oily, and dry, as well as four types of acne: blackheads, papules, pustules, and nodules. The system is designed to enhance the accuracy of skin condition monitoring through facial image analysis, utilizing a dataset of 4,092 images. The high number of acne cases, especially in 12-24 year olds with 40-50 million cases in the United States, is the background of this research. Conventional skin analyzers are considered less capable of providing accurate quantitative data. Therefore, a Smart Skin Analyzer Detector was developed that uses a Raspberry Pi as a data processor. Images are taken through a webcam, analyzed, and then the results are sent to the cloud. The system is also integrated with Telegram to provide users with real-time notifications regarding their skin type and acne condition. This approach enables more effective, faster, and more affordable skin monitoring. The results demonstrate that IoT technology has significant potential in enhancing personalized and sustainable skin care.
