How to protect your skin from blue light?

Thereblue lightThis is one of the invisible exposures our skin faces every day: computers, phones, televisions, LED lighting… even at low intensity, these sources have a long-term impact. Protecting your skin requires a series of simple steps, combined to form a truly effective system.blue light shield.

Here are the most effective actions:

  • Use a blue light blocking serum
    THE[THE CALL OF THE WILD] Dual Phase SerumConcentrated with vitamin C, plant extracts and antioxidants. It acts to protect and repair, limiting oxidative stress and cellular damage caused by screens.
  • Strengthen the skin barrier
    Well-hydrated skin is more resistant to light damage. Hyaluronic acid helps retain water in the tissues, which reduces sensitivity and dehydration.
  • Apply a suitable moisturizing cream
    A daily cream acts as a protective layer and reduces the impact of HEV light on skin cells.
  • Add sunscreen (morning)
    Some UV filters also protect against part of the visible spectrum, including a portion of blue light. This is a good habit to limit dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
  • Activate the “visual comfort” mode on the screens
    Reducing bluish tones limits direct exposure during long working hours.
  • Take regular breaks
    Looking into the distance for a few seconds every 30 to 45 minutes reduces eye and skin fatigue, especially around the eyes.
  • Sleep well
    Sleep supports cellular repair and limits the inflammatory effects caused by artificial light during the day.

These actions create complete protection adapted to skin exposed daily to screens and artificial lights.

What are the effects of blue light on the skin?

Blue light is part of thevisible spectrumBut its impact on the skin far exceeds what is commonly attributed to it. Screens, LEDs, and electronic devices emit highly energetic HEV light, capable of penetrating deep into skin tissue. Its effects can appear quickly… and then accumulate over the years.

Here are the most commonly observed consequences:

  • Oxidative stress
    Blue light generates free radicals that disrupt cells and lead to accelerated aging.
  • Wrinkles and loss of firmness
    By affecting collagen and elastin, it contributes to marked features and weakens the skin structure.
  • Pigmentation spots
    Some skin types react by overproducing melanin. The result: brown spots, uneven pigmentation, or more visible marks.
  • Dull and tired complexion
    Prolonged exposure causes a decrease in brightness, a lack of radiance and skin that appears “dull”.
  • Sensitivities and redness
    HEV radiation can exacerbate inflammation, especially on sensitive or reactive skin.
  • Dehydration
    Blue light weakens the skin barrier, reduces water retention and accentuates dryness.

It is to counter these effects that Garancia formulated the[THE CALL OF THE WILD] Dual Phase Serum, an ultra-concentrated treatment capable of protecting, reviving and strengthening skin exposed daily to our modern screens and lights.
