2021 Skincare Trend: Blue Light Protection
I don’t know about you, but I’m on my screens more than ever these days. Even though I’m no longer in the office, I find myself sneaking onto my laptop or checking my emails on my phone more and more. Now, consider how stressful lockdown has been on our skin. Then add to that the negative effect overuse of blue light devices can have. Well, disaster! Join me as I share the new blue light protection skincare trend with you!
What Is Blue Light Protection For Skin?
The pesky blue lights that we are chained to from nine till five (and often much later) has the same effect on our skin as the sun. Yep, that big old star in the sky can have a terrible effect on the skin on our bodies, not just our faces.
Studies have shown that too much exposure to blue light can have a negative effect on your skin. It can lead to cell shrinkage and even premature cell death. The same effects that happen when we sit in the sunshine for too long.
Blue light protection in your skincare is where you create a mask between your skin and the blue light. You can do this by applying a layer of SPF.
The Importance of SPF In Skincare
No matter how often you leave the house, where you sit while you work or how you choose to apply your skincare, you MUST use SPF in your skincare.
Regardless of dreary weather in the UK, the skin on your face, neck and hands need to be protected from the rays of the sun.
These UV rays can cause wrinkles, loss of firmness, dullness and uneven pigmentation.
If you apply SPF to your skin regularly, you can prevent these irreversible side effects from ever happening.
My Top Blue Light Protection Brands
Antipodes are a great go-to for a base that is filled with SPF. Using an oil as a pre-treatment before you put on your day cream can give your skin a nice plump and hydrated feeling while also adding another layer of blue light protection.
ARK are at the top of my list for skincare creams on my face and neck. The skin on your neck is super delicate and thin, so if it becomes damaged, it can be very hard to treat the area.
Every single day, I use ARK Skincare’s Skin Protector SPF Primer. I use it every morning before applying my make up or before adding lip balm and getting on with my day.
Nars Radiance Primer is a dream for blue light protection. Not only does it go on smoothly and last all day but it is the best protection for skin all year around.
I use this primer on holiday before applying my light make up and it gives a lovely shine and glow. It is also lovely on skin that is a little more golden due to being on holiday.
Invest In Blue Light Prevention Skincare
Even though you might be inside more than ever right now, it is important that you add SPF into your daily skincare routine.
Before sitting in front of your desk for another boring zoom meeting, make sure you apply a thick layer of one of my approved creams to protect you skin.
If you’re planning on working outside while the sun shines, keep your skin protected and hydrated with SPF and sun cream!
Blue lights aren’t going anywhere, let your skin feel healthy and happy!
