In various embodiments, a method for determining a skin condition is provided. The method may include: determining a trace element content of skin, comprising: for at least a skin area of a user, disposing a plurality of electrodes over the skin area, the plurality of electrodes including at least a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode having a first electrode contacted on the skin area selection layer and the second electrode contacted the skin area, wherein the selection layer is designed so selectively for a trace element that only the trace element is suitable, upon contact with the selection layer depending on a concentration of the trace element, between the first and generating the second electrode measurable signal, measuring the signal dependent on the concentration of the trace element, comparing the measured signal with reference signals for known trace element contents of skin, and determining the skin condition based on the determiner elten trace element content of the skin. |
