How Blue Light Affects the Skin
There are different types of light and each type has varying degrees of intensity and wavelength. For example, sunlight consists of mostly UVA and UVB light; UVA light has longer wavelengths, while UVB light has shorter wavelengths. Depending on the time of day and season, the intensity of both UVA and UVB light varies. Blue light is another type of light that also varies in intensity.
Low-energy and low exposure times to blue light can actually help prevent certain skin diseases while longer exposure times to high-energy blue light can lead to skin damage and photoaging. Skin damage and photoaging are serious concerns that can manifest in visual symptoms such as fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, dullness, sallowness, and more.
So in the case of blue light, the dose makes the poison.
If you’re sitting in front of a screen all day, it’s safe to say you’re experiencing longer exposure to blue light. So, what can you do to prevent its damaging effects?
