HEV / Blue Light
What’s all of this talk about Blue Light & HEV (High energy Violet Light) ??
📱🖥💻📺 Blue Light = UVB light from screens that causes premature aging + can damage sight
We also get from the sun, but the concern is the increased amount from using screens often.
GOOD NEWS! Your comprehensive daily skincare routine protects from blue light.
Physical sunscreens block UV rays = zinc oxide & titanium dioxide
Antioxidants- Vitamin C mainly!
You can also:
Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours
Apply Vitamin C AT NIGHT in addition to the AM (if you’re getting a lot of screen time)
Lower screen brightness to decrease blue light exposure
Decrease screen time
There are specific products that advertise they protect against blue light, but once you really dive in these are the 2 types of active ingredients they are advertising.
For reference:
🌞UVA = Skin Cancer
UVB = sunburns
UVA + UVB- breakdown of collagen→ fine lines and wrinkles
