Wearables For Healthy Skin!

Sun is our biggest enemy when spending time outside. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer but unfortunately having a nice ten is still a beauty trend which has been in style for more than 50 years. Thankfully in recent years public became more aware of the danger of skin cancer. Wearables have found a niche in this area. In this article you can read which wearables can help you prevent sunburns and ultimately skin cancer.

You clip Violet to your clothes and off you go. This waterproof wearable is a vitamin B sensor and vitamin D sensor, but it is also tracks your sun exposure. It lets you know how much time you still have before you get sunburned and we think it is great for families because it can independently track multiple users.

Another band measuring UV level is UveBand. It doesn´t just detect sunlight- it also collects specific UVA and UVB rays (which are the ones that damage your skin the most). It gently vibrates on your hand to remind the wearer that it is time to put a sunscreen on. It recharges itself as it actively monitors the sun’s UV rays and you turn it off by simply removing it from your wrist.

Spinali Design doesn´t make just regular bikinis. They have designed a collection of swimsuits which come with UV sensor. They are connected to an app and depending on your skin type they remind you to use sun protection.

They are more wearables helping people not to get exposed to too much sun. We have already wrote about SunFriend, June and CliMate about which you can read in our article Wearable Tech Detecting Invisible Threats.

Raymio is a wristband that lets you know when your UV exposure level is too high and advises you to seek out shade or apply sunscreen. The band is connected to an app and it come in multiple colors. Unfortunately the product is not yet available but the company promises it will be available soon.

Besides using sunscreen it is also very important to drink a lot of water and stay in the shade. Make sure your head is always covered and most importantly don´t forget to have fun when you are on the beach, or lake.
