# Sunscreen-Detecting Cameras The 'Sunscreenr' UV Camera Ensures You're Properly Protected By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-05-10 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uv-camera References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/sunscreenr-ultraviolet-camera/43226/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sunscreenr/sunscreenrtm-is-your-skin-protected) Ensuring you've slathered on enough sunscreen is a surefire way to help stave off sunburns and skin cancer, so the 'Sunscreenr' UV camera is designed to make the process foolproof. The process of [applying sunscreen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spf-reapplication-mist) requires users to remember when they last applied it and rely on guesswork when it comes to ensuring they're completely covered. The 'Sunscreenr' works by allowing users to see in real-time the level at which they are covered and subsequently protected by sunscreen. The 'Sunscreenr' works by incorporating a UV camera that will show skin as being much darker than usual once covered in sunscreen. This makes it easier to know how much you've applied, what spots you've missed and when to apply again. The 'Sunscreenr' is currently available for preorder on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appligator). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **UV Camera Technology:** Integrating UV camera technology into everyday devices for real-time monitoring of sunscreen application. - **Personalized Skin Protection:** Using technology to provide personalized feedback and guidance on sunscreen application to ensure optimal protection. - **Health Tech Accessories:** Developing innovative accessories that combine technology and health for improved well-being. ### Who This Affects Most - **Health and Wellness:** Creating products and services that promote health and wellness by leveraging UV camera technology for sunscreen application. - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Integrating technology into beauty and personal care products to enhance user experience and improve skincare routines. - **Consumer Electronics:** Incorporating UV camera technology into consumer electronic devices to provide real-time feedback and monitoring for various applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Skin Protection Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-uv-detector.md) - [GenAI Sunscreen Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spf-truth-booth.md) - [Location-Based UV Tracker Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-day-app.md) - [Sun Safety Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uv-guardian.md) - [Clear Sunscreen Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unseen-sunscreen-stick.md) - [Drinker-Specific Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beavertown-brewery-oil-your-neck.md) - [Hard-to-Reach Sunscreen Assisters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appligator.md) - [Kid-Friendly UV Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnypatch.md) - [AI-Powered Sun Protection Advisors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunsolve-skincare-advisor.md)
