Abstract
This disclosure is directed to devices, systems, and methods for skin damage protection and detection, including providing images and recommendations and images to users to assist them with proper application of an applied-to-skin sunscreen. Disclosed devices include personal user devices that are operable to emit ultraviolet light and to measure the degree of ultraviolet light reflected from skin, upon which images can be presented on a device screen to give visual indications of sunscreen coverage and/or skin aging. Measured ultraviolet images and visible light images can further be presented to device users in an overlay, side-by-side, or other fashion, to further assist in detection of sunscreen coverage and/or degrees of skin damage. Further, the user of the device may be able to view real-time video in the same ultraviolet/visible light overlay fashion, and assess the state of photo-protective effects of an applied-to-skin sunscreen.
