# Skin AI

{% @arcade/embed flowId="0lrW4S8tr1gihLGXl4ro" url="<https://app.arcade.software/share/0lrW4S8tr1gihLGXl4ro>" %}

The Skin AI tool provides a set of precise controls to enhance skin in your photos. You can smooth facial or body skin, reduce shine, and remove imperfections such as blemishes, freckles, and moles, adjusting each effect individually to achieve the desired result. Artificial intelligence accurately detects skin areas while giving you full control over how content-aware adjustments are applied for a natural-looking finish.

#### **Face Smoothing**

Softens facial skin to create a smoother, more even appearance while preserving a natural look. Adjust the slider to control the strength of the effect.

#### **Body Smoothing**

Evens out skin texture across the body while maintaining realistic contours. Move the slider to increase or decrease the smoothing effect.

#### **Shine Removal**

Reduces shiny or oily areas caused by strong lighting for a more balanced look. Slide to adjust how much shine is removed.

#### **Blemish Removal**

Removes small imperfections like spots or marks and blends the surrounding skin for a seamless finish. Use the slider to set the amount of correction applied.

**Tip**: If the SkinAI tool removes details you’d like to preserve, use the Edit Mask tool to paint them back in.

**Tip**: In the Essentials section, you can also use [the Erase tool](/editing-tools/essential-tools/erase.md) to remove unwanted details.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.skylum.com/editing-tools/portrait-tools/skin-ai.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
