Staring at your phone for hours?
Don't scratch it, I'm talking about you!
With the continuous development of science and technology, people are more and more inseparable from a variety of electronic products. In particular, mobile phones and computers are things that we need to frequently contact in our daily lives.
The blue light emitted by these devices will not only cause certain harm to the eyes, but also the skin may not be spared.
Effects of blue light on the skin
Blue light is a high-frequency, high-energy visible light, and its wavelength is generally between 400-480 nm. In addition to the sunlight that comes from nature, many electronic products now use LED technology to produce "artificial blue light". They reach deep into the dermis and reduce the antioxidant capacity of cells, as follows:
(1) Pigmentation
In the same way as the sun's rays, the skin will become dry due to ultraviolet rays and trigger the formation of melanin, which over time will also lead to the formation of spots. Moreover, visible light such as blue light is more likely to cause excessive pigmentation, even longer than the pigmentation caused by ultraviolet light.
(2) Photoaging
Irradiation of blue light also has a huge impact on premature aging. Its penetration is very strong, it can reach the dermis layer and subcutaneous tissue of the skin, make cells change, inhibit the growth of fibroblasts, reduce the extracellular matrix, and lead to photoaging; thereby increasing the oxidative stress rate of the skin and causing the human body to lose collagen faster.
(3) Allergic redness
Super blue light will make the cerebral cortex become hyperactive and accelerate the production of adrenal hormones, when the body's immunity declines, prone to redness, swelling and itching allergy symptoms.
How to resist blue light?
First, avoid being in an environment of blue light radiation for a long time: turn off electronic devices appropriately and relax your eyes at the same time
It also allows the skin to rest, especially at night, blue light can adversely affect the circadian rhythm and sleep quality,
And adequate sleep plays a vital role in skin health;
Second, isolate and protect with the help of skin care products: there is no need to look for something that can completely block blue light (it should
Does not exist), the combination of sunscreen + antioxidant products can reduce the adverse effects of blue light on the skin. In addition, double the amount of vitamin C-based antioxidant serum, which can also prevent the continuous production of melanin and help light protection;
100% Pure Vitamin C Rejuvenating Serum, a VC serum that can also be used by sensitive skin, in addition to its basic moisturizing function, it is also compounded with multiple antioxidants such as lipoic acid and VE, which is proper antioxidant + brightening and whitening.
Third, usually eat more fruits, vegetables, drink tea: these foods are rich in vitamins, tea polyphenols, etc
Active substances that enhance our resistance and effectively defend against blue light.
Speaking of which, we don't have to be overly nervous about blue light. On the one hand, the blue light radiation from electronic devices is very small compared with sunlight; on the other hand, even harmful blue light has a lot to do with the time we irradiate, and it takes more than a period of time to produce harm.
Therefore, in fact, as long as we usually pay more attention to give the skin a certain amount of attention and maintenance, many problems can be solved one by one!
