SunFriend: Monitor Your Sun Exposure when Traveling

With everything to keep in mind when traveling (departure times, packing, budgets), it´s easy to forget the small considerations that protect our health. When rushing to the airport or navigating foreign streets to find your lodging, it can be easy to forget your precious skin is exposed to harsh rays from the sun. A new product called SunFriend gives you one less thing to think about when you travel. SunFriend monitors your sun exposure and warns you if you are getting just a bit too much Vitamin D.

Some travelers apply sunscreen daily to protect themselves from the sun, but if this isn´t a habit of yours, SunFriend can become your skin´s best friend. The wearable device prompts you to select your skin type and thus estimates your sensitivity to sun exposure. When your skin has received the maximum amount of beneficial sun exposure, the device will alert you to go inside, wear protective clothing or apply sunscreen.

Worn like a watch, SunFriend tracks your daily sun intake from the moment you walk out of the door. Although absorbing the recommended amount of Vitamin D is important, you can protect your skin and your long-term health with a friendly warning from SunFriend.

SunFriend can be purchased from major retailers like Amazon or directly from the website for $49.99 before shipping fees.
