UV Beads Bracelet

UV beads and sunscreen bangles

Though we should always be wary of UV damage to our skin, the upcoming summer months are critical times for protection. Lucky for us, blocking those harmful rays just got a little more fun and fashionable.

UV-detecting pony beads also known as energy beads or solar beads start out white, but then turn vibrant colors when exposed to the sun. By making a bracelet with the beads, you can tell when youa re in harms way while out of doors, driving, or even sitting by a window. You can also test your favorite sunblock products by coating a bead in sunscreen or setting it behind a pair of sunglasses.
