Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It is clear that exposing your skin to the sun after an especially grim winter puts you at risk, but how much exactly is too much? When should you reapply your sunscreen, and when should you call it quits?
Well, now there's a wristband to help you out with that. A company called UVSunSense has launched the monitoring bracelets that - once covered with the sunscreen you're using - will change color when it's time for more protection and change again when you should get out of the sun.
The new product, which seems especially suitable for children and adults with particularly fair skin, is "engineered to be used in conjunction with a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher to alert you to potential excessive exposure as you work or play in the sun," the brand states.
A pack of seven retails for $7.98 online.
