Abstract: There is a skin analysis device for attachment to an electronic device of a human user, the electronic device having at least one skin characteristic measurement device, the skin analysis device comprising an enclosure comprising an enclosure body, configured to be removably connected to the electronic device and one or more skin characteristic measurement assisters, connected to the enclosure and configured to assist one or more skin characteristic measurement devices take a skin characteristic sample of a skin characteristic of the human user.

Abstract: A method for aligning a removably attachable skin analysis device to a mobile device is disclosed. The method is particularly applicable to skin analysis devices comprising a housing that defines a housing aperture, the housing aperture comprising a housing aperture center and wherein the housing aperture is centered on a camera of the mobile device when the skin analysis device is in an aligned position, and the method includes capturing, with the camera, a current position image, wherein the current position image comprises at least a portion of the housing aperture, processing the current position image to determine if the current position is the aligned position and communicating a message from the processing.
