The article offers information on use of ultraviolet (UV) reflectance and fluorescence photography to provide insights into skin conditions that are otherwise not visible. Topics include information on use of these techniques to measure sun protection, dry skin, acne and the microbiome, to aid in product development; suggestions and advice to successfully apply UV reflectance and fluorescence photography; and use of cross polarization to minimize shine in visible light photographs.
