大型防曬噴霧機,10秒鐘搞定全身
Applying sunscreen can be a tedious chore that often seems to require superhuman flexibility and the need for at least an extra set of hands.
塗防曬霜是件單調瑣碎的事，似乎往往需要非凡的靈活性，至少需要額外的幫手。But it doesn’t have to be. The company SnappyScreen wants to revolutionize the way we slather on SPF with its automated sunscreen-application invention that is already gaining traction with vacationers.
但這並非是必要的。SnappyScreen公司想用其全自動塗防曬霜的發明來徹底改變我們塗防曬霜的方式，而且這種裝置已經獲得了度假者的青睞。Imagine this: You step into a booth, select your preferred SPF (15, 30, or 40) and enter your height. Then a fine mist covers you from head to toe, a rotating base ensuring even distribution. The whole thing takes all of 10 seconds. If taking precautions against skin cancer were always this easy, no one would ever skip on sunscreen again. And that’s exactly what SnappyScreen founder Kristen McClellan is hoping.
想象一下這樣的場景：你走進一個小亭子，選擇自己想要的防曬指數（15，30或40）並輸入你的身高，然後一層精細的噴霧就可以從頭到腳覆蓋你的全身，而且這個亭子還有一個可以旋轉的底座確保噴霧可以均勻分佈。整個過程一共需要10秒。如果預防皮膚癌的措施都這麼簡單，沒人會再次略過防曬的過程。這就是SnappyScreen公司的創始人克里斯汀·麥克萊倫所希望的。
The SnappyScreen system envelopes the entire body—including hard-to-reach areas like underarms and the back of the neck—making the process much less of a hassle.
SnappyScreen公司的裝置可以覆蓋全身，包括腋下及頸背等不容易擦到的地方，這使得塗防曬霜的整個過程更便利。“Sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes before going outside, and reapplied every two hours and immediately after swimming or sweating,” says Ronald Moy, senior vice president of The Skin Cancer Foundation.
“防曬霜應該在去室外之前的30分鐘塗好，每兩個小時要再塗一次，而且在游泳或流汗之後都要立即塗防曬霜，”美國皮膚癌基金會高級副總裁羅納德·莫伊說道。
SnappyScreen hopes to make the process so easy that families will gladly return for additional coatings.
SnappyScreen公司希望可以使這道程序更簡單，讓一家人都樂意回來再塗一層防曬霜。SnappyScreen sells directly to properties, which independently decide pricing: It can be a free service or one where customers pay by credit cards or by charging fees to hotel rooms. The company supplies its own sunscreen formula, a spray that is oxybenzone- and alcohol-free—and it won’t damage swimsuits.
SnappyScreen公司直接向酒店出售其產品，由酒店自主定價：可以是免費服務，也可以是付費服務，客人們則可以通過信用卡或把帳記入房費等方式付款。該公司還提供了他們自己的防曬霜配方。那是一種無醇且不含氧苯酮的噴霧，而且這種噴霧不會破壞泳衣。The company has now started to receive interest from water parks, country clubs, public pools, beaches, and private homes.
如今這家公司已經開始引起水上樂園、鄉間俱樂部、公共遊泳池、海灘以及私人住宅的興趣。“People know they should put on sunscreen more, and if we can make it a little bit more fun and get people to protect themselves, that would be a huge win,” says McClellan.
"人們知道應該多塗防曬霜，如果我們能把這個過程變得更有趣，還能讓大家保護自己，這會是巨大的成功，”麥克萊倫說道。
