Piz Buin Mountain Beauty Advisors used the latest Oregon Scientific Handheld UV Monitor to gauge the intensity of the sun, enabling them to suggest the best level of sunscreen to gain the optimum level of protection. The easy to use sleek device features a UV sensor lens which calculates UV exposure times based on skin type. Skiers and snowboarders were invited into the Piz Buin tent, offered the best Piz Buin sunscreen for their needs and advised on their maximum exposure time on the results from the UV monitor.

The small and portable UV monitor can be attached to ski suits, wrists, or bags using the attached strap. Not only is it robust and durable but is also splash proof making it an essential item for any mountain holiday, or for any activities in the summer sun. It is also useful by the beach or pool to ensure children are correctly protected.

Simon Storey, Associate Franchise Director at Piz Buin said, ‘ Piz Buin consumers love outdoors winter sports. We want them to have the freedom to enjoy the sun, safely. By using the Oregon Scientific Handheld UV monitor we could accurately recommend the best sunscreen for that person's particular skin'.

John Savage UK managing director at Oregon Scientific commented, ‘it is a great promotion, demonstrating the best uses of the Oregon Scientific handheld UV monitor. It clearly shows how safe it is to stay out in the sun. We want our customers to enjoy winter sports but to understand the effects of long term sun damage on their skin. Our customers can be safe and responsible by monitoring the sun and using the right protection'.

The Oregon Scientific Handheld UV Monitor is just one of the many award winning products that Oregon Scientific produce. The Time and Weather range features the World's First Daylight Projection Clock and Weather Forecaster with Ice Alert to enable smarter living.
