Standing in the shade, with my Shade. I used to think I was ok from UV exposure, but my app says it went from a 6.4 index to a 1.8 index.

Out enjoying this beautiful 60 degree weather with my Shade sensor to help monitor my UV exposure. I love that the Shade sensor will alert me when I get close to my threshold so that I can go inside before it causes a flare.

So excited to wear my Shade today. @wearshade #wearshade. If you have a disease, condition or take meds that make you sensitive to the sun...you have to try SHADE!!

The sensor tracks the amount of UV to an app on your phone, letting you know when you are about to hit your sunlight exposure threshold. Truly a breakthrough for anyone sensitive to the sun!

I live in the country on a farm and being out in the sun is an everyday battle. I know when I've hit my Shade limit when it buzzes me. My Shade is set to a limit that is before my true max, giving me time to head indoors before I go into flare.

Love my Shade sensor! I love seeing the correlation between my UV exposure and how I'm feeling.
