In various embodiments, a method for determining a homogeneity of complexion is provided. The method may include provision of a digital image on which skin is portrayed and which is parameterized in a color space which is defined by a parameter set in which one of the parameters is a hue, identifying and/or defining at least one skin examination area in the transformed image, calculating a hue distribution in the at least one skin examination area, and determining at least one homogeneity value for the complexion based on the calculated hue distribution.
