Pollution, which is composed mainly of fine particles, lead and carbon monoxide occurs everywhere in our environment, even more so in large cities.
Therefore, it is no surprise that urban skin is the most vulnerable to premature skin ageing and first signs of ageing. Acting as a protective shield, the skin is affected by air pollutants of the city’s life.
To this air pollution, we encounter a new form of pollution called digital blue light pollution that is emitted by screens. The more time we spent in front screens, the more our skin can be damaged.
What is digital blue light pollution?
Blue light is all around us: the sun’s UV rays and LED lighting from computer screens, smartphones, televisions and lamps. With the latter, we talk about artificial or digital blue light pollution, which is said to cause long-term skin damage.
Digital blue light pollution causes oxidative stress on the epidermis and reduces the production of high-quality collagen, which damages the epidermis, oxidises its membrane and accelerates skin ageing. Wrinkles appear, and the reflections of blue light cause ageing spots on the skin.
On the most sensitive skin, redness is even likely to appear by acting as a skin inflammation.
In the same way, skin also reacts to excessive sun exposure. So it is the same struggle for natural blue light and digital blue light, one has to protect themselves from it.
