Blue Light and Your Skin: What You Need to Know and How to Protect Yourself

📲 What Is Blue Light?
Blue light, also called HEV (High Energy Visible) light, is emitted by:
-
Smartphones
-
Computer screens
-
LED lighting
-
The sun (in smaller doses)
It ranges from 400 to 490 nanometers and carries more energy than other visible light—meaning it can penetrate deeper into the skin than UVA/UVB.

⚠️ How Does It Affect Your Skin?
🔬 1. Digital Aging Is Real
Research shows blue light:
-
Generates free radicals
-
Breaks down collagen and elastin
-
Worsens hyperpigmentation and discoloration
-
Triggers premature wrinkling and sagging
😴 2. It Disrupts Your Skin’s Sleep Cycle
Blue light at night lowers melatonin levels, affecting your sleep and therefore your skin’s natural repair processes.
🔎 What About the Skin Microbiome?
Blue light alters your skin flora by increasing oxidative stress.
When your microbiome is unbalanced, you’ll see:
-
Irritation or redness
-
Breakouts
-
Dry patches or oil overproduction

-
Avoid screens for at least 1 hour before bed

Blue light damage is slow and cumulative. Just because you don’t see it immediately, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
Start now to:
-
Preserve your skin’s tone and elasticity
-
Avoid pigmentation
-
Support your skin’s ability to renew and protect itself
