A device and a corresponding method for skin detection to enable a reliable, accurate and fast detection are disclosed. The proposed device comprises an illumination unit configured to project a predetermined illumination pattern onto a scene, an imaging unit configured to acquire an image of the scene, and an evaluation unit configured to evaluate the acquired image by analyzing the imaged illumination pattern as reproduced in the image and to detect skin areas within the image and distinguish them from non-skin areas within the image based on said analysis.
