Beauty giant L'Oreal has unveiled a smart skin patch that can track the skin's exposure to harmful UV rays at the technology show CES in Las Vegas.
The product will be launched in 16 countries including the UK this summer, and will be available for free.
It contains a photosensitive blue dye, which changes colour when exposed to ultraviolet light. But the wearer must take a photo of it and then upload it to an app to see the results.
It has been developed by the firm's tech incubator department, which is a team of 25 scientists and researchers working in several cities around the world, including New York, Paris and Singapore.
