Blue light is the latest threat to skin's ability to stave off Father
Time. Thankfully, these tips will help iron out any wrinkles
J
ust when you thought digital
devices couldn't get any worse,
a new menace has emerged, with
gathering evidence suggesting blue light
emitted from screens damages skin. Highenergy visible light (HEV) generates free
radical damage in cells, so add wrinkles,
hyperpigmentation and premature ageing
to the list of tech-related ailments.
So, how does HEV light differ from
UV rays? "The difference is wavelength,"
explains Linda Blahr, National Head of
Training and Science for SkinCeuticals,
"UV rays are the short, while HEV is longer
and penetrates deeper, with about 20%
reaching the hypodermis."
"UVB burns the skin and UVA causes
ageing by inducing discolouration and
breaking down the structural support,"
says Linda. In fact, SkinCeuticals'
own research found HEV increased
pigmentation in darker skin by 18.1%
and 4.3% in lighter tones.

THE SILVER SCREAM
"The best form of defence against UV
is a broad-spectrum SPF factor 30+,
chemical or mineral," Linda advises. "For
HEV protection, wearing an everyday
antioxidant will help protect skin cells
from oxidation from the inside." The
upshot is sunscreen alone isn't enough.
Luckily, there are plenty of serums, mists,
creams and foundations which help
purge free radicals.
Moisturisers and make-up with builtin defences are the best way to protect
skin without having to think about it.
BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Radiant
Tint Protective Moisturizer uses cocoa
extract to shield skin and gives a fresh,
even glow, while Jurlique's UV Defence
Lotion achieves that elusive combination:
traceless, light wearing UV protection.
Alternatively, combine your regular
sunscreen with a high dose antioxidant,
like SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF. For round-

make-up during the day and apply before

Should your day not require a prepped

a mist, such Amly's Digital Detox, within
easy reach for a shielding boost. B
