So, what exactly is blue light? Where does it come from? And how does it affect the skin? Let’s take a look at the information MinLove has gathered from various sources below!

What Is Blue Light and Where Does It Come From?

Simply put, blue light is visible light with a short wavelength and high energy. Most people think that blue light only comes from gadgets and electronic devices. However, the truth is, blue light is also produced by the sun, and in fact, the sun is the largest source of it!

As the biggest source of blue light, the sun emits two types of radiation: invisible radiation known as ultraviolet (UV) and visible light, one of which is blue light. In terms of position on the light spectrum, blue light sits just before UV rays.

So, what about the effects of blue light on the skin? Let’s keep reading!

The Effects of Blue Light Exposure on the Skin

According to the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, blue light does not cause harmful effects on the skin as long as exposure is not excessive. You may be able to avoid direct sun exposure, but what needs attention is the use of gadgets and electronic devices, which have become essential in daily life.

If Loveliest is exposed to excessive blue light, here are some negative effects it can have on the skin:

1. Premature Aging

A study revealed that blue light exposure from gadgets and electronic devices can damage skin cells, including cell shrinkage and cell death. This accelerates the process of premature aging.

2. Pigmentation

Blue light can also cause skin pigmentation. Its exposure can trigger increased melanin production, leading to skin discoloration and the appearance of dark spots. As a result, skin tone becomes uneven.

3. Redness

On the other hand, studies have shown that excessive blue light exposure can cause swelling and redness of the skin, especially in people with darker skin tones.

4. Dry and Dull
Another negative effect is dry and dull skin, Loveliest! This happens because blue light can damage collagen, which keeps the skin firm and supple. In addition, a chemical in the skin called flavin absorbs blue light and generates free radicals!
