It goes without saying (and we’ll remind you until the end of time) that sunscreen is a priority when it comes to protecting your skin from damaging UV rays.
But here’s a bolt from the blue—literally. Now you have to think twice before using a device—like that smartphone, computer or tablet that you’re probably reading this post on.
Here’s what we know. Scientists and dermatologists have recently discovered that many of the electronics you likely use every. single. day. emit a damaging blue light that can lead to changes in your skin cells, resulting in premature aging, hyperpigmentation, age spots, and melasma.
The facts of (blue) light:
- Exposure, even as short as 60 minutes, can trigger cell changes
- Most Americans spend more than 11 hours per day (really!) using digital media for both work and pleasure
- Millennials check their phones (on average) 150 times a day
- One study suggested that swelling, redness, and pigment changes are more prevalent in people with darker skin
- Using mineral-based SPF to block blue light is imperative. While chemical-based sunscreens can be effective when protecting you from the sun’s UV rays, they don’t do a great job at blocking blue light baddies.
