GLOW SCORE EXPLAINED
What is a glow score?
A glow score is a cosmetic 0–100 rating of how radiant your skin looks in a selfie. It is estimated by AI from visible signals — texture, tone, hydration, pores, dark circles and overall balance — to show how bright and healthy-looking your skin appears. It is a wellness and beauty measure, not a medical diagnosis.
How an AI glow score is measured
A glow-score app takes a single front-facing photo and analyzes the visible condition of your skin. In Auraly, on-device Google ML Kit first maps your facial landmarks, then — with your consent — the selfie is analyzed by AI to read several cosmetic signals:
- Texture — smoothness and evenness of the skin surface.
- Tone — uniformity of color across the face.
- Hydration — how plump and dewy the skin looks.
- Pores & balance — visible pore prominence and oil/dry balance.
- Dark circles — under-eye brightness.
These signals combine into your overall glow score, plus a per-area breakdown that ranks where to focus first.
How to improve your glow score
Because the score reflects visible radiance, the habits that help most are the consistent basics:
- Cleanse gently and moisturize morning and night.
- Use daily SPF to protect tone and texture.
- Stay hydrated and prioritize sleep for under-eye brightness.
- Follow a consistent routine and re-scan to track your trend.
Auraly turns these into a tailored 7-day routine with specific ingredient picks, then re-personalizes it each scan as your skin changes.
Is a glow score accurate?
A glow score is a cosmetic, photo-based estimate — not a clinical reading. Lighting, camera angle and makeup all affect it, so the most reliable signal is your trend over time under similar conditions. Auraly compares each scan to your previous one and treats small differences as steady rather than over-reading normal photo noise.
Not a medical tool

Glow score FAQ
What is a good glow score?+
Scores are relative to your own skin over time rather than a universal grade. The most useful number is your trend: a rising score across scans means your visible glow is improving. Auraly also shows a personalized target score for your next routine.
