Hello everyone! This is Kojo from LadyLuck.
Recently, you may have heard about the impact of blue light, especially if your job involves computer work, leading many to take measures to protect their eyes. However, less than 3% are aware that blue light can also contribute to skin aging issues like spots and wrinkles.
Blue light isn’t just emitted by electronic devices and LED lights—it’s also found in sunlight, and its intensity can be about 100 times stronger! For instance, the amount of blue light you get from 10 seconds under the midsummer sun is equivalent to about 8 hours of exposure from smartphones or PCs.
This type of light penetrates deeper into the skin than UV rays, accelerating skin aging, and can cause not only spots but also dryness and wrinkles.
If you think you’re safe because you’re using a high SPF/PA sunscreen, think again! These values only indicate protection against UVA and UVB rays, not blue light.
To prevent skin aging, choose sunscreens specifically labeled for “blue light protection.” LadyLuck recommends the “Invisible Physical Defense SPF30” by Dermalogica, priced at ¥8,690 for 50ml. This sunscreen cream, suitable even for sensitive skin, contains scattering agents that protect against both UV rays and blue light without burdening your skin.
Remember, blue light can penetrate windows, so it’s essential to take protective measures even when you’re indoors at the office or home.
