Here’s something that really gets my inner gadget fan excited. La Roche-Posay has just introduced a fantastic piece of technology called My Skin Track UV. This handy wearable sensor monitors your exposure to UV rays, pollution, pollen, and humidity. It connects to an app that gives you personalized advice based on your skin type and concerns.
I’m particularly thrilled about this because I can’t figure out if I have hay fever for the first time or if it’s just the world’s longest cold. I’m eager to check pollen levels in places like rural Somerset and central London and see if moving to the countryside has significantly reduced my pollution exposure. There’s got to be an upside to not having access to services like Deliveroo!
But most importantly, I’m curious to track UV levels at different times and locations and see how much exposure I get on a typical day spent mostly indoors. Do I really need to slather on SPF50 for a quick run to the store when it’s raining? And if it’s sunny, how well does my sunscreen protect me?
Luckily, this sensor is easy to use since it doesn’t need charging or even a battery—it’s a mystery how it works, but perfect for me! You just clip it on and go. It’s so small and discreet, it could easily pass for a decorative bead—clip it on as a pendant, bracelet charm, lapel badge, or even on your glasses if you don’t mind the futuristic look.
I’ll give it a try and report back. Meanwhile, I’m excited to offer twenty of these smart wearable sensors to UK readers, each valued at £50. To enter, simply leave a weather-related comment below. Maybe share what the weather’s like where you are—I’m currently experiencing endless rain! Submit your entry by noon on Friday the 14th, and winners, chosen at random, will be contacted the following week. Only one entry per person, please! Check here for full terms and conditions.
It’s an exciting era for health and skincare, with tech making personal data easy to access. From step trackers and fitness monitors to apps that assess sleep quality, I find it fascinating, if a bit self-involved, to learn more about myself!
