This checker provides a conservative starting suggestion based on common skin tone & hair color contrast principles (light energy is absorbed more by hair pigment than surrounding skin in typical at-home use). [1] For background reading, see External resources.

1) Choose your closest skin tone

Pick the closest match. If you are between two, choose the darker one for a safer reference.

2) Choose hair color

IPL tends to work best when hair is darker than the surrounding skin.

3) Recent sun exposure

Recent tanning can increase sensitivity. Choose the closest option.
