Snap to Log

Take a photo of your meal. AI recognizes Indian dishes — dal, biryani, dosa, paratha, and 2,000+ more.

Macro Tracking

Automatic protein, carb, fat, sugar, and fiber breakdown. See your skin-relevant nutritional balance.

Pattern Detection

AI correlates your food log with scan data to find your personal food-skin triggers in 2-3 weeks.

Breakout Prediction

Frequently Asked Questions

How does food affect skin?

High-glycemic foods spike insulin, increasing oil production and inflammation. Dairy increases IGF-1 and androgens, triggering acne. Omega-3 deficiency causes dry, inflamed skin. GlowXLab tracks these patterns specific to your body.

Can I log Indian meals?

Yes! GlowXLab has a database of 2,000+ Indian foods — dal, roti, biryani, dosa, paratha, and more. Just type the dish name or snap a photo and the AI recognizes it.

How long until I see food-skin patterns?

Most users start seeing clear patterns within 2-3 weeks of consistent logging. The AI needs at least 14 days of food + scan data to identify your personal triggers.

Does it work for vegetarian/vegan diets?

Absolutely. Most Indian diets are vegetarian. GlowXLab understands dal-roti, paneer dishes, plant-based proteins, and all regional Indian cuisines — North Indian, South Indian, Bengali, Gujarati, etc.

Can it help me eat better for my skin?

Yes. Beyond just tracking triggers, GlowXLab creates a "Skin-Smart Diet" plan based on your triggers, nutritional gaps, and skin goals. It suggests Indian foods that actively help your skin.

How accurate is the photo food recognition?

Our AI is specifically trained on Indian food photography with 89% accuracy for common dishes. For less common items, you can quickly search from our database of 2,000+ Indian foods.
