What is the purpose of a skin analysis?

The purpose of a skin analysis is primarily to identify the skin type and any specific concerns that an individual may have. This process involves examining various factors such as skin texture, tone, hydration levels, and the presence of specific issues like acne, wrinkles, or sensitivity. By understanding these characteristics, a skincare professional can tailor treatments and recommend appropriate products that suit the client's unique skin needs.

While recommending makeup products may involve some understanding of skin characteristics, it is not the primary goal of a skin analysis. Evaluating sunscreen effectiveness and assessing environmental moisture levels also fall outside the core purpose of a skin analysis, which is focused on individual skin assessment rather than product performance or external conditions.
