In The Skin Care Photo Gallery, Vicky Hodgson adopts a close-up head and shoulders mugshot pose and attaches props to her face to subvert the "claims" made by skin care product advertising. Her work, while a critique and scrutiny of consumerism and the beauty industry's influence on a youth-focused and anti-ageing culture, is also a source of entertainment. Her light-hearted and humorous approach encourages the viewer to take a closer look at this industry that dominates women's lives. Text accompanies these mugshot photographs to support the "claims" made in the images, adding a layer of amusement to the critique.
