Smart swimwear reminds you to apply sunscreen
The UV-sensing part comes with a swimsuit that measures the sun's intensity and signals a reminder to wear more sunscreen.
Marie Spinali, director of French bikini manufacturing company, said on Sheknows, she came up with the idea of producing this product when she accidentally caught a sunburned person while swimming."I wonder why that person doesn't apply more sunscreen. So I invented something useful for women."

This swimsuit has a water-proof UV sensor that is attached to the shirt , pants or towels to measure the intensity of the sun. This signals the wearer to apply more sunscreen and signal when to avoid the sun to prevent skin cancer.
The device operates on an application that combines customer skin type data with UV data. Then calculate the time to apply more sunscreen to suit each skin type. The app has a "valentine" function that tells your partner like your husband or boyfriend to apply more cream to you.
This smart swimsuit costs between 3 and 5 million VND depending on whether you set your own tailor or ready-made garment. Besides, the company has also produced individual sensors for customers who want to attach themselves to their own swimsuits.
Most people don't know how to decode and evaluate the SPF index on the sunscreen label, and use less cream on time. Skin Cancer Foundation Skin Cancer Foundation recommends that the swimmer apply the sunscreen every two hours. If you don't use this sensor, you can simply create an alarm to remind yourself to apply the cream.
