I Bought The Viral UV Camera & Put This Colour-Correcting Sunscreen To The Test

Recently, I was scrolling mindlessly on social media when I came across something new — a pocket mirror that comes fitted with a UV camera. This device allows you to check the coverage of your sunscreen in real-time. Intrigued, I decided to get one for myself to make sure that I don’t accidentally miss a spot when I get ready in the morning. 

It’s no secret that I’ve been using ALLIE’s Color Tuning UV sunscreen for a while now and with this UV camera on hand, I could check if its protection stays put when my face comes in contact with friction and water. Here’s what it looks like when I apply the sunscreen (I'm using the shade Sunny Apricot):

The first thing I did was to check if the sunscreen was friction-proof. I applied it generously on my face and then proceeded to rub it vigorously. As you can see from the screen of the UV camera, the coverage remained the same — not a single patch of unprotected skin was visible. It's safe to say that this sunscreen passed the friction test with flying colours!

Next, I wanted to check if the sunscreen is water-resistant. So I used a bottle that came with a nozzle and sprayed some water on my face. When I inspected the UV camera, I could see that the coverage remained intact. The sunscreen didn't budge at all, not while my face was wet or even after the water evaporated. Since I love spending time at the beach and by the pool, I feel reassured knowing that I won't have to reapply the sunscreen after coming in contact with water.

ALLIE's Color Tuning UV sunscreen provides a shine that lasts for eight hours. On top of that, it also offers sebum control, which ensures that your face stays fresh and matte throughout the day
