Smart Tech: Can This Sticky Patch Actually Tell You How Much Sunscreen You Need to Apply? Aired July 09, 2018

Protecting our skin from the potential dangers of the sun is SO important -- and it may have just gotten easier!

Tech guru Katie Linendoll introduced us to wearable technology called My UV Patch, which claims to function kind of like a personal skincare buddy!

Katie says that you just stick the patch on the top of your hand (the way she does in the video above) and download the accompanying app to set up a personal profile.

"[When you use the app to scan your patch], it detects all the UV rays that you receive in a day and how much you're supposed to be applying when it comes to sunscreen," she explains.

We know we're not babies, but we need this kind of babysitting in our lives. Just sayin'!

Watch Katie demonstrate exactly how it works in the video above.
