Electric beauty product devices have become amazingly popular in Japan – things like facial massagers, face steamers, etc. – to help maintain the beauty of your skin.

Now Maxell has developed a handy smartphone attachment lens, called “Memoret”, available in Japan, that you can use to take close-up high definition photos of skin to see closely its condition, texture, etc., so that you can monitor problems, etc.

Maxell is also developing a smart phone app called “Hada more” that analyses the photos taken with Memoret through a unique algorithm supervised by a specialist. Through the app, the condition of your skin can be tracked based on parameters such as wrinkles, spots, elasticity, the condition of your pores, etc. Hada is a word for “skin” in Japanese – “More for your skin”. This app is expected to be released this summer.
