Nowadays, we know much more about blue light, the radiation emitted by devices such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, and televisions. At this time of year, our screen time increases considerably, which is why Cosmetics Herbera reminds us how this exposure can affect our skin.
Although blue light does not cause burns like ultraviolet rays, it can leave a mark on our skin. Its impact generates oxidative stress, accelerating skin aging; it stimulates melanin production, which can cause dark spots; and it alters the skin barrier, promoting moisture loss. It can even affect our sleep cycle.
To minimize these effects, we share FOUR KEYS to protecting the skin against blue light:
1. Incorporate antioxidants:
ingredients such as vitamin C, vitamin E or ferulic acid help neutralize the free radicals generated by blue light. We recommend 2 serums formulated with a combination of these 3 antioxidants. How do they differ? The oil-free version is intended for combination skin, and the nutritive repair version is ideal for dry skin. Both keep the skin more luminous and rejuvenated.
2. Use sunscreens like Soleá
It protects all year round, filtering blue light, preventing oxidative damage, and keeping the skin hydrated and healthy. It is formulated with physical filters and a high concentration of active antioxidants. This moisturizing cream with HIGH PROTECTION FACTOR and SPF30 protects the skin from the negative effects of UVB/UVA rays, blue light from screens (HEVL), and urban pollution. It prevents all signs caused by photoaging, including wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dryness, and loss of volume.
3. Hydrate the skin
Hyaluronic acid is key to preventing the dehydration and sensitivity that blue light can cause. The Bio Serum Hyaluronic Concentrate Nutritive Repair is an excellent option, as it combines low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which provides deep hydration and retains water, with Edelweiss extract, a powerful antioxidant that protects and soothes the skin. Its formula reinforces the skin barrier, improving elasticity and preventing moisture loss.
4. Reduce exposure.
Activate night light mode on devices to minimize the impact on the skin and the sleep cycle.
Incorporating these habits into your daily routine helps keep your skin protected, healthy, and luminous in the face of blue light. Protect your skin every day, not just in summer.
