Sun Protection Wristbands
Posted by Te-see on July 12th, 2009
Most of us don’t leave the house any more without putting SPF on our faces and covering our bodies from head to toe at the beach. But are we really getting the coverage and protection we need? Do we even know when to re-apply???
Well, the guessing is over. There is now an easy-to-use wristband to tell us when to apply sunscreen and when we need to run for cover…UVSunSense wristbands when worn not only allow for more accurate application of suntan lotions, reduce the risk of deadly skin cancer but they also prevent you from long-term sun damage.
The UVSunSense wristband technology was developed by a nuclear physicist to measure ultraviolet or UV radiation present in sunlight. This unique band has 4 stages of color that indicate changing conditions and how the user should adapt to the exposed sunlight. When the band is removed from the packaging it is orange. It becomes purple when exposed to the sun indicating it’s been activated. If the color transitions to a dark brown the wearer needs to immediately reapply sunscreen. If the band turns a salmon color, the wearer should completely get out of the sun. This is an indication that you have approached the recommended daily limit of UV radiation. Further sun exposure could lead to painful sunburn or photo dermatitis which is sun poisoning.
Each UVSunSense package contains 7 wristbands for kids & adults. My daughter has been using them because she is very fair and they do work! She loves to watch them change color…I love that they are protecting her from permanent sun damage!!!
