Are you still using traditional sunscreens? Discover why full light technology is a game changer!
On National Sunscreen Day, experts urge Indians to upgrade sun protection. Dr. Aparna Santhanam highlights Full Light Technology, shielding against UVA, UVB rays, infrared radiation, and blue light from screens. This innovation combats premature aging and pigmentation, crucial in India's intense sun. As we mark National Sunscreen Day, it's time to rethink how we protect our skin in an age where sun exposure and screen time go hand in hand. Traditional sunscreens have long focused on shielding skin from UVA and UVB rays, but research now shows that visible light and infrared radiation also contribute significantly to premature aging, pigmentation, and changes in skin texture. Enter Full Light Technology: a next-gen innovation that broadens protection to cover the entire light spectrum. Dermatologist and Skin expert Dr. Aparna Santhanam explains, 'Full spectrum exposure can lead to long-term skin damage, and Full Light Technology offers an essential safeguard against these effects.' Unlike conventional sunscreens, this technology shields skin not just from UV rays, but also from infrared radiation and visible light, including blue light emitted by digital devices. 'Think of it as an upgrade to your sun protection,' says Dr. Santhanam. 'It's not just about sunburn anymore. It's about preserving radiance, firmness, and skin tone over time.' Sunscreens with Full Light Technology combine high-performance protection with added skincare benefits, making them indispensable for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin. Further enhancing this evolution is the role of Artificial Intelligence. AI-powered skincare tools can now analyze your skin and lifestyle to recommend sunscreens tailored to your unique needs. 'With AI, skincare becomes both personalized and precise,' adds Dr. Santhanam. In a country like India, where intense sun exposure is a year-round reality, upgrading to sunscreens with Full Light Technology isn't just a seasonal recommendation - it's a daily essential. The damage caused by visible light and infrared radiation often goes unnoticed until signs like pigmentation, dullness, and fine lines begin to surface. Full Light Technology fills the critical gap left by traditional sunscreens, offering protection that's both preventive and corrective. As awareness around holistic skincare grows, dermatologists advocate for its everyday use, even indoors, to combat cumulative exposure from both natural and artificial sources. With National Sunscreen Day serving as a timely reminder, adopting advanced sun care solutions ensures that your skin remains protected, resilient, and future-ready. Let's go beyond the basics today. Opt for smarter protection with Full Light Technology and let innovation shield your skin every day.

Sky gives customers one extra week to avoid broadband price increase – exact plans that will be affected revealed
LAST CHANCE Sky gives customers one extra week to avoid broadband price increase – exact plans that will be affected revealed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SKY is giving Brits an extra week to snap up discounted broadband deals before the prices rise again. The Sun can reveal that Sky customers can shop via the website to claim the deals even beyond the expiry date. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Sky is serving up cut-price broadband deals – but not for long Credit: Sky Yesterday we told how Sky was planning to kill off a series of cheap full-fibre broadband plans in days. Three deals were due to go dark on May 28, meaning new customers would have to pay extra. Now The Sun has learned that the deals will still be available online-only for an extra week. That means you'll have until June 4 to access the offers via the official Sky website. THE REAL DEAL? Sky has been offering the discounts on its broadband packages for several weeks. One offer includes near-gigabit download speeds on a full-fibre connection for £42 a month. That gets you 900Mb/s – far above the national media broadband speed of 73.21Mb/s. Currently Sky's website is warning that the prices are due to go back up on Wednesday, May 28. Three of Sky's broadband packages are currently marked with its "digital exclusive" pricing badge. First on the list is Sky's Full Fibre 75, which gets you 75Mb/s for £25 a month. Sky warns that the usual price for this package is £36 a month (that's the price that kicks in after the 24-month minimum term). Sky insider reveals little-known voice tricks for your TV - including hack to NEVER lose the remote Second on the list is Full Fibre 500, which gives you 500Mb/s broadband speeds for £31 a month. But you'd be paying £46 a month under usual pricing according to Sky. And finally there's the Full Fibre Gigafast package, which offers 900Mb/s speeds for £42 a month. However, the standard price for this package is listed at £49 on the website. 3 Sky's full-fibre takes fibre internet right into your home – rather than routing it via copper cables from the cabinet Credit: Sky These broadband deals have no upfront fees – but the catch is that only new customers can claim them. FIBRE FIRST The other thing to be mindful of is that these are full-fibre packages. That means you'll need to be able to get a full-fibre connection into your home. Sky says that "55% of UK homes" are able to claim these packages. WHAT IS THE SKY SPEED GUARANTEE? Here's the official word from Sky... "If the download speed to your hub drops below your guaranteed minimum download speed for three consecutive days or more, you will have the right to leave your Sky Broadband and Talk contracts without incurring early termination charges," Sky said. "You can also upgrade your broadband product without any upfront fees. "Sky fibre customers can also claim money back under this speed guarantee by calling Sky. "You must be within your minimum term and can claim once within it. "Money back will be one month's Sky Broadband subscription, minus any discounts or offers, credited to your Sky account. "This excludes Sky Talk and any Add-Ons like McAfee, Broadband Boost or WiFi Max." Picture Credit: Sky "Full fibre broadband, also known as FTTP (fibre to the premises) and FTTH (fibre to the home) delivers broadband directly into your home via the ultra-fast fibre optic cable," Sky explains. "No cabinet, no copper cables, no sharing internet with the neighbours. "It's ultra-reliable broadband for the busiest homes. Streaming, downloading, video calls, gaming. All at the same time." Full-fibre is different from traditional fibre, which is known as FTTC or fibre-to-the-cabinet. That's when broadband comes to a cabinet in your area through a fibre-optic cable. But the broadband is then delivered to your home over copper wiring, which struggles to provide full-fibre speeds. With a full-fibre connection, you're able to get much faster broadband speeds.

Musk says Tesla's self-driving tests will be geofenced to 'the safest' parts of Austin
The first test of Tesla's long-promised robotaxi service in Austin, Texas next month will initially be limited to specific areas the company deems "the safest," CEO Elon Musk told CNBC in an interview Tuesday. Tesla's cars are "not going to take intersections unless we are highly confident [they're] going to do well with that intersection, or it'll just take a route around that intersection," Musk said. "We're going to be extremely paranoid about the deployment, as we should be. It would be foolish not to be." Using a geofence represents a major strategy shift for Musk, who spent years claiming his company would be able to create a general purpose self-driving solution that could be dropped in to any location and work without human supervision. (Geofence is a jargon term used in the autonomous vehicle industry that means vehicle is restricted to a certain area.) Musk has claimed Tesla will attempt to launch similar trials for its robotaxi service in California and possibly other states later this year. Musk telegraphed the idea of using a geofence on Tesla's first-quarter earnings call in April, though he did not explicitly say that was the approach the company would use. The CEO said at the time that it was "increasingly likely that there will be a localized parameter set" for its early robotaxi operations. As part of Tesla's "paranoid" approach, Musk said Tuesday the company will have employees remotely monitor the initial fleet of around 10 Model Y SUVs equipped with the "unsupervised" version of its Full Self-Driving software. Musk also claimed those vehicles will be driving without any safety operator inside. "I think it's prudent for us to start with a small number, confirm that things are going well, and then scale it up proportionate to how well we see it's doing," he said. It is common practice for autonomous vehicle companies like Waymo to have an operations center staffed with people who are monitoring their robotaxis and providing remote guidance, if needed. Waymo, which posted a blog on the topic in 2024, doesn't take take control of the vehicles though. Instead human employees primarily communicate through questions and answers with the self-driving system to give it proper context and help it problem solve.
