## What is Glowz?

Glowz is your personalized tanning coach. It tells you exactly when to tan, how long to stay out, and how to reach your dream shade safely, without burning. Using the live UV index for your exact location, Glowz builds a tanning routine tuned to your skin and the sun right now. No more guessing. No more burns.
