Why can your skin look and feel different at different times?
Your skin can be affected by many factors, including sleep, your daily routine, your environment, and your overall physical condition.
Today's Skin brings together data from multiple areas to help you understand how your skin is doing today and what may be affecting it.
Why does your skin change from day to day?
Your skin isn't always the same.
Not getting enough sleep, having an irregular routine, changes in your environment, and shifts in your physical condition can all affect how your skin looks and feels.
For women, changes throughout the menstrual cycle may also affect things like oil production and skin sensitivity.
What can affect your skin?
Overnight recovery
Nighttime is an important time for rest and recovery.
When you're sleeping well, your body has more opportunity to recover, which may also help support healthier-looking skin.
Daily rhythm
A regular routine helps support a stable body clock.
Frequent late nights, going to bed very late, or major shifts in your schedule can disrupt your natural rhythms and affect recovery.
Fatigue Score
Long working hours, increased activity, or insufficient sleep can all put more strain on your body.
When fatigue is higher, your body may need more time and resources to recover, which can also affect how your skin looks and feels.
Daylight exposure
Getting some natural light during the day helps support a healthy circadian rhythm.
A consistent pattern of light exposure helps your body distinguish between day and night, which can support better rest and recovery at night.
Menstrual cycle
Hormone levels change throughout the menstrual cycle, which can affect oil production, breakouts, and skin sensitivity.
How does Today's Skin work?
Take a photo of your face and complete a quick self-assessment to get a personalized skin analysis.
After you take the photo, the system first checks whether it meets the requirements for analysis. You'll then answer three questions about oiliness, dryness, and breakouts. These inputs are combined to analyze your skin age and overall skin condition and generate your Skin Analysis Report.
Your Skin Score is assessed separately using five types of data recorded by your ring, giving you another view of how your physical condition may be reflected in your skin.
Because your skin can be affected by factors such as your routine, menstrual cycle, and even the conditions in which the photo was taken, we recommend taking another photo around 28 days later. Comparing multiple results over time can give you a clearer picture of how your skin is changing.
Your report covers your overall skin condition, key concerns, detailed metrics, and different areas of your face, along with personalized everyday skincare recommendations.
Why is my skin status still locked?
Skin status analysis depends on your Fatigue Score, so you'll need to unlock your Fatigue Score first before your skin status can be unlocked.
Once you've collected 7 days of valid sleep data within the past month, your Fatigue Score will unlock first. Your skin status will then unlock once a valid Fatigue Score result is available.
The 7 days don't need to be consecutive, and if your existing data already meets the requirement, you won't need to start over.
If you don't have enough valid data yet, your skin status will remain locked for now.
Keep wearing your ring and collecting valid data. Once you've met the requirements, your skin status will unlock and you can start tracking how your skin is doing each day.
Once your skin status is unlocked, you can start a photo analysis. Non-subscribers can run one analysis per day, while subscribers can run unlimited analyses.
How can you support healthier skin?
Get enough sleep
Aim for regular, sufficient sleep to give your body and skin enough time to recover.
Protect your skin every day
Use sun protection when you're outdoors, and stay hydrated if you spend long periods in air-conditioned or dry environments.
Keep a regular routine
Try to avoid frequent late nights, maintain a consistent sleep schedule, and stay reasonably active.
Pay attention to long-term changes
An occasional change in your skin doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong. What matters more is how your skin changes over time.
Taking care of your skin isn't just about what you put on it. A consistent routine and paying attention to your overall physical condition can matter too.
