Eye discomfort and migraines after a day spent at the PC or in front of your smartphone.
Data in hand, in Italy an average of 4 hours a day is spent in front of electronic devices.
90% of those interviewed in an Eco Bio Boutique survey, looking in the mirror, note: red eyes, dark circles under the eyes, dull skin tone and premature ageing.
These are the damages of the notorious 'blue light', which is a part of the light emitted by LCD and LED devices, such as smartphones, tablets, TVs and PCs and by low energy consumption lighting systems.
"You always need to shield your eyes. A very common mistake - says optician Livia Eramo of the Italian brand FabbricaTorino - is to use lenses to spend many hours in front of the computer, the so-called office, or to use a smartphone and other devices, only if you have some sight defects, instead everyone should wear glasses against the effects of blue light, even with clear and non-graduated lenses, because they become a protection for our eyes".
Furthermore, like all other UV radiation, blue light also generates oxidative stress on the skin and can cause skin damage such as spots, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
We talk about “
Digital Aging
”, literally digital ageing, as a result of massive overexposure to blue light, which leads to a decrease in natural collagen production and therefore the appearance of early wrinkles and sagging, but also to an unbalanced melanin production which causes blemishes and hyperpigmentation.
Theoretically, to limit the damage from blue light, one should regularly move away from electronic devices, or spend less time, but this is not always possible;
for this very reason, it is important to include the right treatments in your skincare, which protect the skin, preventing and limiting the damage of blue light.
To remedy the damage of blue light, it is important to apply serums, creams and masks rich in vitamins, especially
vitamin C and vitamin E.
These vitamins have a
"recovery" action
, that is, they provide the face with hydration and protection to counteract oxidative stress, premature aging and to protect it from external aggressions, visibly reducing the signs of stressed and dull skin.

L'
anti-blue light protection action is activated by filters combined with natural mineral pigments that create an invisible barrier that absorbs the rays emitted by blue light, reducing the production of melanin stimulated by the blue light itself.
