title: Skin Color Detection using opencv
body: <p>How to detect the <strong>colour of the skin</strong> using OpenCV? </p>
  
  <p>What about using OpenCV <strong>Haar face detector</strong> to find a face region and then getting the <strong>average or most common color</strong> in that face region, since it should be the skin color? </p>
  
  <p>Update:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Environment:</strong> My frames will have the facial features. (only From hair to shoulders, as attached)</p>
