How to Protect Your Skin From Blue Light Damage

Everyone spends time in front of screens, including smartphones, laptops, tablets and television screens. We know that your posture can suffer, you may carry tension in your neck from looking at a screen as well as encounter dry eye and headaches. The light from the screens may be messing with your sleep if you scroll too late at night. But is the exposure to blue light from your electronics impacting your skin negatively? And outside of unplugging, what can you do to help?

First, we need to define blue light. It is one of the colors in the spectrum of visible light, alongside red, orange, yellow, green, indigo and violet. It is the shortest wavelength of this spectrum, closest to ultraviolet light and we know how damaging UV rays can be. Put these colors together and they comprise the white light given off by the sun, which is similar to the blue light that is emitted from fluorescent bulbs. Just like UV rays, blue light from electronics has the power to shrink cells and even kill them. As little as an hour can cause these changes in the body, which include the aging of your skin as well as dark spots or hyperpigmentation. 

Although blue light has healing properties, like treating acne, psoriasis and actinic keratosis and is used in phytodynamic therapy to kill cancer cells, it can have a negative impact on skin. Although electronics only emit a small amount of the High-Energy Visible light or HEV light compared to the sun’s damaging rays, we spend so much time near these devices and they are positioned close to our faces to cause alarm about the long term damage that we may be sustaining. 

Modern skincare products are effective by physically blocking blue light and helping to combat free radicals before they have the chance to negatively impact your skin. So how can you find the best face serum for blue light? Look no further than DEFEND Face Serum from MOOD Skincare.
