UV (Ultra Violet) Detector app for your iPhone
If you are a WowTowel owner (a WowToweler) you have researched our website and know what we are all about. For those that are prospective customers, please gain the knowledge of reading through my website and you will understand that we created the WowTowel for Recreating Life’s Simple Pleasures and to do so responsibly. We are smart enough these days to know that just lying out in the sun will have major consequences in the future. That consequence is melanoma and it can kill. In fact, there are more melanoma cases developing than any other cancers. It is number 1 and it is a very treatable (when caught early) and yet regrettable (too many die) disease.
Our main focus was to give you a towel that was SMART and functional. That is why we created our middle design so that you can place your beach umbrella right in the middle of the WowTowel. This means your family can be shaded or blocked (depending on quality of the umbrella) when the sun is directly overhead and at its hottest. In 2013 (next Spring), we are creating our own line of 8 foot solar umbrellas that will not only block the vast majority of ultraviolet A & B rays, but also be a total humidity block. We also must remind you that even a great umbrella alone, even ours, is not enough. You MUST put on a FULL shot glass size of Sun Block of 30 SPF. That is good enough, no higher SPF is necessary. More precisely, we, at WowTowel, recommend “No Ad” Sunblock. It has been tested by the Skin Care Foundation and gets the best rating of all (also talked about in one of our previous blogs). The reason why we love NoAd is not only is it the best, but surprisingly it is by FAR the cheapest available on the market by over 75% as much. Notice: you must apply sunblock of 30 SPF that is a shot glass size for EACH person and applied EVERY 2-3 hours.
Now that I have given you our personal responsiblity recommendations for the beach, here is an AMAZING app that can detect UV in your area. How sweet is that?!
