In control of my sun exposure
Skin cancer runs in my family, but I found out recently that I am Vitamin D deficient.  I bought a SunFriend to balance getting some sun but not enough to burn.  So far so good.  I got the orange and yellow because it looks like the sun.  Surprisingly, it looks pretty good with my outfits despite the bright color.  People keep asking me about it, which is pretty cool.  The panel of lights takes getting used to, kind of like a 1970s digital watch. The SunFriend.com website has more detailed instructions than the package. The first day I set it to Skin Sensitivity 1 (SS-1), and it seemed too low.  Now I set it at SS-4, and I still haven't burned.  With practice I'm learning to trust that it really is measuring UV.  (Apparently, the sensor was designed at NASA)  I push the Check UVA+B button throughout the day, and when the LEDs get near 11, I start planning to put on sunscreen or go inside.  Voilà!  Easy.  I feel more in control of my sun exposure, and don't have to slather on as much chalky white SPF 80 sunscreen.  Also, the contact points are all silicone or plastic, so no nickel allergy issue.<br /><br />Cool product for anyone concerned about skin damage and making enough Vitamin D.
