Adhering to Sticker May Stop Sunburn

It's difficult to tell sometimes when you've had too much sun, but a new product called SunSpots may help change that. Manufacturers of the 1-inch, bandage-like sticker claim they can reveal how much sun exposure a wearer has received.
Each SunSpots sticker contains radiochromatic materials that change color upon exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays. The sticker is placed on the skin and covered with sunscreen the user normally wears.
As the period of time and intensity of exposure increases during the day, the design on the sticker becomes a solid red. After that, the wearer should dither use higher SPF sunscreen, get out of the sun for the day, cover up, or apply a sun block to exposed skin.
The product is being developed by Indico Technologies Inc. SunSpots are not yet on the market, but soon they will be available at drugstores

"Excessive sun exposure can result in painful sunburn, but can also lead to other serious health problem ncluding melanoma, a life-threatening form of skin cancer. Melanoma is one of the fastest-growing forms of cancer. Children are at greatest risk, since serious sunburns during the first 18 years of life is believed to increase the risk of cancer by more than 50%. For those with sun-sensitive skin, fair complexions, light hair, or for those who spend excessive amounts of time in the sun, SafeSun is for you.

A Technological Breakthrough

The sensitivity of human skin varies among different types of UV (UVA, UVB). This sensitivity is described by a world-wide accepted standard &endash; the Erythemal Response Spectrum. SafeSun is the only consumer-targeted device based on this standard.

Other consumer-focused products are not based on the Erythemal Response Spectrum. This makes their readings misleading and even dangerous to use. Until now, the only way to precisely measure "skin burning intensity" of UV light was with expensive and cumbersome scientific instruments.
