The light from screens (computer, tablet, mobile phone, television, etc.), light bulbs at home, LED lights in offices, etc. Also known as blue light, it is the main cause of premature skin aging, including spots.
There is no doubt that food has an impact on hormones, but light is capable of hacking the body when the environment is bad, affecting stress levels, glucose, insulin, thyroid, hunger regulation, physical and emotional state. It affects our entire metabolism in general.
Your eyes and skin contain opsins, which are proteins responsible for collecting certain solar radiation and informing the brain what type of light is present in the environment.
Nature didn't make the mistake of putting UV receptors in your eyes and skin. They're there for a reason. When you're exposed to blue light, these mechanisms are damaged, causing oxidative stress.
And consequently to our skin.
- Premature aging , causing wrinkles and fine lines.
- Hyperpigmentation: Thus increasing dark spots on the skin and even the risk of skin cancer.
- Alteration of the barrier function and damage to cellular DNA.
- It destroys collagen. There is a chemical in our skin called flavin that absorbs light and causes an alteration in the molecule, basically creating holes in your collagen.
- Disruption of the circadian rhythm, affecting sleep and consequently the body does not correctly carry out the processes of cellular repair and regeneration.
This new knowledge has given rise to the concept of “ Digital Photoaging ” , which is aging produced by the use of digital devices.
That's why it's very important to protect your skin with blue light protection. Don't confuse it with sunscreen, THEY'RE NOT THE SAME THING!
A blue light protector must be colored, since blue light radiation is visible, so an effective filter against it must be visible.
This color is obtained from iron oxide, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which protect us from blue light and are capable of absorbing radiation of 430 ± 30 nm.
