The Impact of Blue Light on the Skin and How to Protect Yourself Effectively

In today’s digital age, our skin is exposed daily not only to UV radiation but also to blue light emitted by computer, smartphone, and TV screens. Blue light (HEV light – High Energy Visible light) penetrates deeper into the skin and can cause oxidative stress, cell damage, and premature skin aging.

How does blue light affect the skin?

• Increased free radical production: Blue light promotes the formation of free radicals that damage collagen and elastin, leading to loss of elasticity and the appearance of fine lines.

• Higher risk of hyperpigmentation: Long-term exposure can result in dark spots and uneven skin tone.

• Worsening sensitivity and inflammation: For sensitive and problematic skin, blue light may increase irritation and redness.

How to protect and regenerate your skin?

The best protection is a combination of regular skincare using products rich in antioxidants that neutralize the harmful effects of blue light and support skin regeneration.
