Sunscreen Rule of Thumb: Apply sunscreen liberally every two or three hours.  Do you follow this?  I try my best, but sometimes I forget!  So how do we keep this in check?  UV Sunsense has created a breakthrough beauty bracelet that serves as an indicator or when to re-apply sunscreen.

How it Works

The wristband has four color stages to let users know when their sunscreen is wearing off.  First, it starts off orange.  Once exposed to the sun, the bracelet turns purple.  When the bracelet becomes dark brown, it’s time to immediately reapply sunscreen.  If the band turns yellow-orange, it’s time to reach for shade!  This UV monitoring bracelet works great because it serves as preventative measure against harmful sun damage.

This bracelet retails for $7 for a 7 pack.  Price wise, it’s really cheap.  But here’s the real question, will you wear it?
