In this post, we'll delve into the perils of blue light and its potential impact on our skin. Join us as we explore the science behind blue light exposure and discover how to protect our skin from this modern-day hazard.
About blue light
But what is blue light? Blue light (also referred as High Energy Visible or HEV light) is a portion of the visible light spectrum that is contained in sunlight, but also in light emitted by indoor lighting and electronic device screens. Some examples of this last source of blue light can be the screens of computers, mobile phones or tablets.Although most of this type of radiation comes from sunlight, the increased use of electronic devices has set off alarm bells among skin care professionals. Not only at work, but also in our leisure and free time, we are getting more and more used to having screens close to our faces.
Blue light can potentially harm our skin via free radical generation, inducing oxidative stress in live skin. This oxidation contributes to develop hyperpigmentation and skin ageing, reducing firmness and increasing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
