Reading this on your phone? Chances are, you\u2019re already being exposed to blue light. We all know about the importance of using sunscreen to protect against UV rays, but in this digital world, there\u2019s another kind of light that\u2019s around us: blue light. We spend hours watching screens, scrolling, streaming. The average adult spends over 6\u20137 hours per day on screens\u2026 that\u2019s a lot of blue light exposure. \u00a0These can be leaving a mark on our skin, stress<\/a> our eyes and disrupt our sleep.<\/p>\n

Emma\u00a0Coleman, Senior\u00a0Magnitone<\/a>\u00a0Ambassador,\u00a0Clinic Director and Dermatology Nurse –\u00a0“While\u00a0blue light\u00a0from the sun remains the main source of exposure, increasing screen time has raised concerns about its impact on skin health. Research suggests that prolonged\u00a0blue light\u00a0exposure may contribute to oxidative stress in the skin, leading to pigmentation changes, dullness, and accelerated signs of ageing over time. Protecting the skin with antioxidants and broad-spectrum sunscreen can help minimise these effects.”<\/em><\/p>\n
