Smart bikini will save from sunburn

And the reason for the publication of photos of these cheerful girls was the start of sales in France, "smart bikini". The UV sensor is integrated into the fabric of the bathing suit, which communicates via Bluetooth with a smartphone. The smartphone warns the owner when it is necessary to apply a new layer of sunscreen.

The creator of a product called bikini connecté, Maria Spinali, said that this idea occurred to her when she saw a burnt man on the beach. “After all, there are already flower pots that warn of the need for watering,” she reasons. “It’s time to invent a warning system for the sun.”

A bikini buyer (which is sold in France for € 149) is registered with a special service, where he indicates his skin type and the desired degree of tan. The time after which it is necessary to issue a warning is calculated on the basis of this personal data. Customizable feature "Valentine" allows you to send a message about the need to apply the cream to the phone of the boyfriend of the owner of a bikini.

So far, the UV sensor is removable, albeit waterproof. but at the moment, the creator is working to make it small enough to be embedded in the material of the bathing suit itself. Versions for men's swimming trunks is not yet provided.

The creator of modern bikinis is considered to be Parisian fashion designer Louis Réhard (again the French!), Who improved the Atom swimwear model created several months earlier by Jacques Aime (the name of a small swimsuit suggests that the atom is the smallest particle of matter). Bikini was first demonstrated in public on July 5, 1946. The new model of the swimsuit was named after the Bikini Atoll, on which the United States conducted nuclear tests four days earlier. The advertising slogan accompanying the release of the new model used parallels between the name of the previous model and the nuclear decay: “Bikini is a divided Atom!”.

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation on the skin, exceeding the natural protective ability of the skin to tan, leads to burns. Ultraviolet radiation can cause mutations. The formation of mutations, in turn, can cause skin cancer, skin melanoma and premature aging.

Historically, tan was considered a sign of the lower class. He came into vogue thanks to Coco Chanel (again the French), and then in the 1930s, his popularity grew due to the emerging reputation of solar therapy as a panacea for all illnesses down to tuberculosis.

Scientists and cosmetologists have long been involved in protecting beach lovers and sunbathers. Recently, Russian scientists have developed a new composition for cerium-based sunscreens. Gadget lovers will appreciate the idea of ​​a bikini of photo cells .
