Now, app that alerts you of sun's damage done to skin

Melbourne, Aug 12 (ANI): The Queensland Government in Australia has created a new application that shows how a lack of sun safety today, even in winter, can show up on your face in the future.

The free iPhone app Sun Effects Booth highlights the potential ageing and damage done to your skin.

The app asks a series of questions about how you protect yourself in the sun, including choice of hat, sunscreen and sunglasses, the Courier Mail reported.

It also analyses a photo of your face and gives a prediction of the future.

The technology allows users to check the daily UV Index forecast for their local area.

Queensland Health warns: "Sun protection in Queensland is important all year round as UV levels are consistently above level three, even throughout winter." (ANI)
