Experts from New York have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can determine the age of a person’s face based on selfies. According to the British Daily Mail, the Face Age tool analyzes six features of the face, including puffiness, halos around the eyes and wrinkles.
Mirror of age and health
The face is a mirror of how quickly the rest of the body ages, as smoking and other unhealthy habits and pollution deplete the nutrients from the skin, causing it to lose its elasticity and form wrinkles more quickly. Improper nutrition can also lead to facial aging by increasing inflammation, which can also contribute to the formation of wrinkles.
12 million human photos
The artificial intelligence app was created by NOVOS, which said it relies on over 12 million images of human faces, noting that the six factors the app evaluates are eye age and puffiness around them, as well as wrinkles, consistency, pores, and redness of the face.

To use the tool, people must upload a clear photo with the face in the center. Results are emailed within minutes if you’re using a computer, or appear on your smartphone in just a few minutes.
Basic Warnings
NOVOS warns that results can be affected by poor lighting, camera quality and camera angle, as well as lack of sleep or dry skin, explaining that users under 35 are more likely to get an inaccurate estimate of their chronological age because their faces are not calibrated. accordingly. For the age group, the results should not be taken personally.
Celebrity Results
The AI ​​was trained based on the estimated age of the faces provided by the raters during the lab session. Using captured samples, the tool was trained on 12 million other human faces to improve the accuracy of its estimates.
Among the people who have used the new tool is USC radiologist Dr. Robert Lufkin, who was told his face was 50 years old when he was 68 or 69. Joe Garma, who writes an anti-aging blog, said that the tool makes him look younger than his 18-year-old.
features of youth and other factors
Younger faces tend to have fuller cheekbones and a well-defined jawline. But with age, these features gradually disappear. For the skin, exposure to UV rays, cigarette smoke and pollutants appears to result in a gradual loss of moisture content and elasticity. When facial muscles move, fine lines and wrinkles appear, which deepen with age.
Other ranking factors are that skin cells take longer to regenerate and exfoliate, which leads to a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface, causing skin to look dull, rough, and less smooth. Bags can develop around the eyes as the fat that naturally supports the eyes sinks into the under eye area.
But it should be noted that the same signs around the eyes can also occur due to lack of sleep, which can lead to fluid retention and vasodilation around the eyes.
Important Tips
NOVOS advises that to avoid skin aging, it is worth using sunscreen and taking nutritional supplements that will help slow down aging.
She also recommends avoiding puffiness and circles around the eyes by getting enough sleep and taking supplements to improve aging and skin health.
