At first glance, this sunscreen application system might look more like a stall that applies spray tan. However, SnappyScreen is in fact a touchless sunblock booth designed to make protecting skin from the sun more convenient and effective.

To use the [hands-free sunscreen application](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handsfree-lotion-applicator) machine, you swipe your card (SnappyScreen, room or credit) and then pick your [level of SPF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nongreasy-sunscreens) (15, 30 or 50) and physical height. Once you step into the stall, you will be covered in an even application of sunscreen in a matter of seconds. In less than 10 seconds [jets spray your body with sunblock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-sport-spritz), covering your body head to toe and front to back.

Invented by Kristen McClellan, the system aims to make skin sun protection fail-proof.
