BLUE LIGHT BLOCKERS
Blue light is emitted from tech screens as well as from the sun (alongside UV rays). Blue light can cause skin cell shrinkage and death, speeding up the aging process. It also can lead to pigmentation (sometimes called sunspots). With all the extra screen time this past year, we’re seeing more products geared to combat this. Blue light blockers include iron oxide and zinc oxide, as well as a few antioxidants and vitamins. Look for these in your products, along with niacinamide. Niacinamides nourish and calm redness and inflammation.
