That being said, you shouldn\u2019t rely on these cameras entirely when it comes to proper sun protection. \u201cTheir accuracy and reliability may vary depending on the specific camera and its calibration,\u201d Rodney notes, so you want to make sure you find a high-quality device.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They also aren\u2019t completely foolproof: If it\u2019s been over two hours since you\u2019ve last reapplied, yet your skin still looks protected on camera, you should still go ahead and slather on. Regular sunscreen rules trump the trendy tools.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019re thinking about using a camera to compare two sunscreen formulas side-by-side, think again! \u201cChemical and mineral sunscreens appear differently under UV light,\u201d says Rodney, and one type isn\u2019t better at protecting your skin than the other. Even mineral sunscreens themselves can show up slightly skewed depending on the emollients or tints in the formula, Bai tells me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1675549\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re wondering whether you applied enough sunscreen, investing in a UV camera can certainly help. \u201cMany use sunscreen regularly but still get sunburn, develop dark spots, [and] experience skin photoaging,\u201d Bai says, mainly due to insufficient amounts of SPF and forgetting to reapply.
