I just can’t believe the extent in which technology is seeping into the remotest part of our lifestyle. Only when I see the good old bikini turning into a Gikini or the bra glowing up with LEDs, I realize that we have actually moved ahead.
Another example of technology getting too close to us comes to fore in the shape of this UV Intensity Bikini. On one hand this one is a cool piece of garment not only to get tan at the right places but also tells you the right kind of tan that’s good for your skin.

This happens with the help of the tiny miny purple beads hanging on the bikini. These beads will keep changing their color to darker shades of purple as the UV rays in the sun grow from Moderate to Extreme levels. The darker the beads the more potential there is for crisp skin, sunstroke and skin cancer.
After all prolonged and extreme exposure to sun rays containing the UV effect is no good for your skin and we all know that all tan is no good tan…so why not sun bathe only till it’s good for the skin.
