  4. Reapply sunscreen when you're reminded.

Frequently asked questions

How does the tan timer work?

It uses the live UV index for your location together with your skin type and SPF to time each session, and alerts you when your skin is at risk of burning.

Is any UV level safe for tanning?

No level is completely safe: UV damages skin even when it doesn't burn. Our guide to the UV index for tanning explains what the numbers mean.

Does it replace sunscreen?

No. It helps you time your sun exposure and remember to reapply; sunscreen, shade and clothing still do the protecting.

Is it free?

It's free to download on the App Store and Google Play. Using it requires a subscription, and a free trial is available.
