Abstract

Facial treatment is an important need for everyone because the first sight of meeting someone is to see their face. Generally, facial skin type is just normal skin. However, several factors such as the environment, air, food, facial hygiene, and so on can affect the type of human facial skin. In this experiment, there were 5 types of facial skin, namely normal skin, dry skin, oily skin, combination skin, and sensitive skin. With the existence of various skin types, it makes some people confused in determining the type of facial skin. This also affects the selection of skincare or facial care according to the indications of each facial skin. Therefore an expert system was created to diagnose facial skin types. An expert system is a man-made system that is used to solve problems like an expert with knowledge from human to computer, although it does not give 100% absolute results, but expert systems are still helpful.
