Sunscreen dispensers placed in public areas
The Netherlands has launched an innovative initiative by installing sunscreen vending machines in public areas.
These machines, stocked with Nivea sunscreen, aim to improve skin health and reduce sunburn cases, particularly during the hot summer months.
A viral video showcasing these dispensers has gained significant attention on social media.
In the video, a woman is seen using the sunscreen machine, highlighting the proactive approach to increasing awareness about the harmful effects of UV radiation.

By placing these vending machines in busy communal spaces, authorities hope to provide easy access to sunscreen, especially for those who spend extended periods outdoors.
With global skin cancer rates on the rise, such initiatives are crucial in promoting sun protection practices.

Someone else highlighted the urgency of such an initiative in places like Delhi, stating, "Need this in Delhi. 44 deg heat kills."
