- International standard quantity of sunscreen application used to determine SPF is 2 mg/cm but mostly people apply only 0.5 to 1.5 mg/cm2 of sunscreen and don't reapply sunscreens after sweating excessively or swimming[1][2][3]
- Studies show that photoaging mobile application usage by different adolescents actually motivates them to avoid the UV exposure after looking at their 3D selfie
- One of the studies motivated:[4]
- 90.5% people to avoid using a tanning bed
- 90.2% people to improve their sun protection
- Another study showed the positive effectiveness of photoaging mobile app in changing behavioral predictors in adolescents with fair skin (i.e. Fitzpatrick skin types 1-2)[5][6]
