Ocushield Launches Medically Approved Anti-Bacterial And Anti-Blue Light Screen Protector For iPhone 12

Posted on by

ocushield , blue light, shield, iPhone 12,

To coincide with the unveiling of the much-anticipated iPhone 12, Ocushield has launched a new anti-blue light and anti-bacterial screen protector.

The only medical-grade blue-light filter brand on the market, Ocushield screen protectors keep a crystal clear image with no changes to the colour. And the anti-bacterial technology is strong enough to break down viral structures, preventing them from growing on the phone screen surface.

With average screen time up to 200% since lockdown, and a greatly increased need to keep our tech clean and hygienic, it’s more important than ever to protect our eyes and our health from our digital devices.

Sleep better, protect the skin and reduce anxiety…
Ocushield’s anti-blue light products have been developed by qualified optometrists and are medically approved by the UK government-led Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

Ocushield is now donating £1 from every purchase on Ocushield.com to its new partner – Royal National Institute of the Blind, one of the UK’s leading charities for sight loss.
New antibacterial blue light screen protectors is available for the new iPhone 12.
3 new styles and 3 new colourways of the blue light blocking eyewear have been added to the range.

Exposure to blue light is an increasing health concern. Especially with the COVID-19 lockdown meaning so, many are spending more time in front of screens. As it’s unrealistic to avoid screens completely, even for those who don’t have computer-based jobs, Ocushield has developed a range of products that seamlessly fit into modern day tech-dependent lifestyles.

BENEFITS OF USING OCUSHIELD:

EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION – The average adult spends 34 years looking at screens throughout their lifetime. Ocushield screen protectors limit blue light exposure by up to 90%, – protecting from 30 years of added exposure.

IMPROVED SLEEP – Ocushield is proven to reduce tiredness and insomnia through decreasing the disruption of melatonin levels.

INCREASED WELLBEING – The UK economy spends £40bn each year due to sleep deprivation-related issues such as tired skin, blurred vision, dry eyes, headaches and anxiety – all of which are reduced with Ocushield.

SUPPORT A GOOD CAUSE – £1 from every purchase on Ocushield.com will go to the Royal National Institute of Blind People, one of the UK’s leading charities for sight loss (rnib.org.uk).

OCUSHIELD FOR IPHONE 12

Ocushield has introduced three new blue light products covering the four new Apple devices that have launched on October 13th.

The iPhone 12 Ocushield screen protector will have:

A new anti-bacterial coating is suitable for breaking viral structures – the same way anti-bacterial hand gel is used to prevent the spread of germs. This means that though they won’t be killed, the virus particles are stopped from multiplying and growing on the phone surface. With smartphones being 7x dirtier than a toilet seat and the continuation of the pandemic, this will help alleviate consumer concerns.

Super-strong tempered glass to protect the screen, while retaining a crystal-clear picture with no orange or yellow tinting, so that users continue seeing colours as before.
Ocushield’s unique applicator system still supplied for an easy three step application included, along with a handy installation video.

Anker Spirit X2 review, totally wireless, sport , earphones,

I totally love these wireless sport earphones from Anker. First of all, they are sexy. That is one good-looking pair of earphones. Secondly, they do not budge. Most important is the sound; which is awesome indeed. They are sweat proof due to their SweatGuard technology and they are comfortable. There is nine hours of listening from a single charge and it goes up to thirty-six hours with the included charging case. Win-win. Get your hands on a pair now.

100% More Bass. Inspired by technology found in high-end speakers, BassTurbo positions an acoustic chamber behind the driver to add powerful bass resonance. BassUp technology, then injects even more bass intensity via a custom algorithm.

Extreme Sweatproof IP68 protection defends against dust and water with SweatGuard technology to resist the corrosive nature of sweat. Lasts 100x longer than ordinary true wireless earbuds thanks to a submarine structure and hydrophobic nano-coating.

Incredible Endurance. Get 9 hours of intense listening from a single charge and boost that to 36 hours with the included charging case. That’s up to 5 weeks of workouts on a single charge.

Effortless Comfort. True wireless earbuds with extra-flex eartips and hooks ensure a free, satisfying, and invincible fit, no matter how hardcore your workout. Comes with an extensive selection of tips and wings for tailored listening.

What’s In The Box. Soundcore Spirit X2, Charging Case, XS/S/M/L/XL EarTips, XS/S/M EarWings, USB-C Cable, 18-month warranty, and friendly customer service.

FROST’S FAVOURITE: DEALS FOR THE ULTIMATE BRIDE-BOD

Posted on by

It’s classed as one of the most stressful times for women and, let’s face it, we can all see why. With all eyes on the bride (sorry to the grooms out there), she wants to look her best and not break the bank.

We’ve done some digging and found our three top deals which all brides should take advantage of. Thank us later.

TO GLOW UP

Every bride wants glowing skin on her wedding day and a broad stroke of highlight can often look a little fake. Try dermaplaning. The process completely removes the dead, dull skin cells at the top of the skin and leave you with glowing, fresh skin that is super, super soft. because dead skin cells are taken off during treatment, your usual skincare will penetrate deeper and have a better effect. In addition, it combats that niggly, annoying peach fuzz which you definitely don’t want to be catching the light on the those wedding photos!

Book in at Regent’s Street Aesthetics where you can currently buy packages, including a skin peel or micro-needling, from £120 https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=15220636
