Everyone wants something to simply their day and make life a little easier – well Beacon Sciences is about to do just that. The company is working on developing a line of interactive personal care and cosmetic products that will change color to guide users on whether they have completely covered their skin with sunscreen or when they have washed their skin long enough.

This is not the subject of science fiction as some products are already available for purchase. An article on Cosmeticsdesign.com states that ColorClean has a soap out where the foam changes color to indicate when a set time have passed. The article also noted that Reveal Sciences has developed a technique, CareType Analyis, which help consumers determine their skin and hair type prior to purchasing products.
