The trend of blue light protection: what is behind it?
In recent years, the trend of blue light protection has increased significantly. But what exactly is blue light and why should we care about its effects on our skin?
Blue light refers to the high-energy light waves emitted by electronic devices such as laptops, cell phones, television screens, and other digital devices. Unlike UV rays, which we are familiar with and protect our skin, blue light can penetrate deep into the skin.
Although the extent of the damage from blue light is still being researched, experts believe it is just as harmful as direct UVA rays when it comes to skin aging. Although you don't experience a sunburn-like reaction from blue light, it can worsen age-related problems like fine lines and wrinkles.
The good news is that you don't need a special sunscreen for blue light protection. Most experts agree that a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen with an SPF of 30 is sufficient to prevent damage from blue light. Our WHITE FUSION day care not only ensures a radiant skin, but also offers mineral protection with titanium dioxide to protect your skin from the harmful effects of blue light.
Besides using sunscreen, there are other ways to minimize the potential effects of blue light on your skin. Consider the following measures in your daily routine:
-
Reduce screen time: Take regular breaks from electronic devices and limit your exposure to blue light.
-
Use blue light filters: Some devices and apps offer blue light filters that can reduce the amount of blue light emitted.
-
Antioxidant Care: Incorporate anti-oxidant serums or moisturizers into your skincare routine. Antioxidants can help fight the harmful effects of blue light and protect your skin from oxidative stress.
Although research into the effects of blue light is still ongoing, it's important to be aware of the potential effects on your skin and to take proactive steps to protect yourself. This can help maintain a healthier complexion in the long run
