ShouldISunscreen

ShouldISunscreen gives you a simple, honest answer: should you wear sunscreen right now?

Using real-time UV index data and your skin tone, the app calculates personalized burn times and sunscreen recommendations specific to you. Because someone with very fair skin needs protection at UV 2, while someone with darker skin may not need it until UV 6 or 7.
