The Skincase phone case imitates human skin, both in appearance and sensation, including sunburn effects. Designed to promote sun safety awareness, it aims to visibly react to harmful UV exposure. Surveys reveal a significant lack of sunscreen usage among Americans, with only a small percentage regularly applying it on sunny days. This innovative design is intended to combat the rising rates of skin cancer by encouraging sun protection, highlighting the importance of consistent sunscreen application to maintain healthy skin.
Our phones are objects we don't expect to change and to react in a humane way. By creating a tangible, visceral reaction to UV exposure, the Skincase not only raises awareness of Sun safety but highlights how Sun protection is an undeniable priority.
Regularly applying sunscreen vastly reduces your chances of developing skin cancer, a condition that roughly one in five Americans will experience at least once before hitting 70 years of age.
Surveys have suggested that an alarming proportion of Americans are on this issue. A National Health Interview Survey in 2020 found that just 12.3 percent of adult men and 29 percent of adult women applied sunscreen when outside on a sunny day for at least an hour.
A more recent American Academy of Dermatology found that 27 percent of respondents only applied sunscreen when others made them do so.
