Q3 INNOVATIONS UV HAWK PERSONAL ULTRAVIOLET SUNLIGHT METER

Compared to 20-30 years ago, today’s population has a greater awareness that going out to the beach can be a fun time, but could also lead to a very painful evening. How many people have gone out to the beach one time and thought they had enough base tan to counteract getting a bad burn? I know I did when I was younger.

DRIVEN TO PROTECTION

The sun’s rays, particularly UVA, are so omnipresent that it’s smart to protect yourself even while you’re driving or sitting at your desk, since UVA rays can penetrate through glass. In fact, the Skin Cancer Foundation reports that drivers tend to have rougher, more-pigmented skin on their left side. Luckily, window films, which come in different tints and block out more than 99 percent of ultraviolet rays without compromising visibility, can be applied to your car and home windows. Do it yourself with just a few household tools, or have a professional coat your windows for you. Log on to www.skincancer.org for a complete list of resources. You can also control how much UV exposure you’re getting with UV Hawk, $29.95, a small, handheld device that lets you know what the UV levels are at any given time. Or try out SunCheck UV Monitors, $4.99, for a pack of 18; these tiny stickers that you affix to your skin turn blue when you’ve had enough sun.

Alas, The Poor Sun

We owe a lot to the sun- pretty much all life depends on it. And now, what do we do, in our infinite scientific wisdom? We hide from it, worried about cancers, radiation, burns, and getting sweaty.

At least, some of us do. If you are one of “us”, the albinic of complexion, the redheads, those who just prefer to stay indoors- then you might want to take matters into your own hands. As the slogan says, “Why guess…. when you can test?”… and the UV Hawk allows you to test the intensity of sunlight and can alert you when those big bad ultraviolet rays get to be too much.
