The skin measurement camera unit 370 can reduce the reflection of the surface light through the use of a lens having a deep depth of field and the irradiation of the side light, so that a three-dimensional image and natural color can be produced.

The skin analyzer 112 can measure the moisture content of the skin to check the state of oily skin, dry skin, and the like.

The skin analysis unit 112 analyzes the skin image information of the member and calculates indexes for moisture, oil, elasticity, skin texture, wrinkle, pigmentation, pore, sebum, trouble, and sensitivity and divides them into a certain pattern.

The skin analysis unit 112 compares the skin condition of the member with the skin condition statistical information of other members using a fuzzy algorithm or the like. Also, comparing the skin information of members who change in a time series, the skin condition of the future is predicted.

The method of indexing the moisture measurement result of the state of the skin in the above process sets the degree of moisture that can be held by the skin of the consumer to 1 to 100 and when the actually measured moisture is within the range of 1 to 30, Water "is slightly lacking when it is in the range of 31 to 50," slight moisture is insufficient "when it is in the range of 51 to 75, and" water is appropriate "when it is in the range of 76 to 100. Similar methods can be used to index skin conditions, such as other oil content and elasticity.

The measurement of the water content is performed by separately performing the U zone connecting the cheekbones and the jaws and the T zone connecting the forehead and the nose, respectively, and determining the index by integrating the measurement results of both sides.

In addition, the skin texture is further subdivided in consideration of density of skin texture, skin texture index (roughness - vertical density), and uniformity of skin pores.

The wrinkles were measured in detail by taking into account the depth of the wrinkles in the eyes, the depth of the wrinkles in the mouth, and the depth of the wrinkles in the forehead, and the pigmentation was measured in detail by taking into account the surface color distribution, The pores are measured in detail in consideration of pore size and pore area.

In addition, the sebum can be measured in detail even in consideration of accumulated sebum and sebum. Depending on the type of trouble, the whitehead, purulent acne, blackhead, acne, and pimples can be checked through the camera's eyes. Sensitivity can be checked through iterations such as itching, keratinization, fever flaring, And whether the sensitivity occurs at a specific point in time, periodically, or whether it is a routine expression or not. Such various measurement results can be indexed as described above.

Then, the information providing unit 113 of the server 110 transmits the analysis result and the cosmetic information corresponding to the analysis result (S330).

Then, the skin analyzer 300 displays the received analysis information on the display unit 310 (S340).
