If you\u2019re like many Americans these days, you are likely spending endless hours in front of your computer either working, shopping, or completing your education.\u00a0 But did you know that all those hours in front of electronics could be damaging to your skin and eyes?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s called blue light and its causing damage that we often don\u2019t realize.\u00a0 It is simply the type of light rays from the blue end of the light spectrum.\u00a0 You are exposed to blue light anytime you are near your computer, your flat-screen TV, your mobile phone screen, many light bulbs, and even the sun.\u00a0 In other words, pretty much all the time!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not all bad!<\/h2>\n

We need blue light from the sun to feel awake and alive.\u00a0 Our bodies have an internal clock that regulates our circadian rhythm that influences our internal functions.\u00a0 It tells our bodies its time to be moving and working!<\/p>\n

How does blue light affect you?<\/h2>\n

One of the most noticeable impacts is poor sleep.\u00a0 Those who spend several hours in front of a PC or scrolling on their phones before bed tends to have trouble falling or staying asleep.\u00a0 While the sun may have set hours ago, when your body is exposed to intensive blue light from electronic screens, your circadian rhythm is disrupted and your body thinks its time to be awake.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, intense blue light causes eyestrain.\u00a0 That means, regardless of the time of day, your eyes can become very tired very quickly in front of a screen, while your body is far from being ready to sleep.\u00a0 The result is a restless state of \u201ccan\u2019t sleep, can\u2019t keep my eyes open.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just like other forms of radiation are damaging to your skin, so is blue light.\u00a0 A scientific study conducted in 2018<\/a> showed \u201clight emitted from electronic devices on human skin cells, even in case of short exposures, can increase the generation of reactive oxygen species.\u201d\u00a0 In other words, blue light can cause your skin to age more quickly.<\/p>\n

What can you do about blue light?<\/h2>\n

There are several ways you can protect yourself from the harmful effects.\u00a0 Here are a few simple ones you can implement immediately:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Discontinue the use of electronic devices for several hours before bedtime. Turn off your mobile phone after dinner.\u00a0 Relax with a good (and paper) book instead of the latest episode of your favorite TV show.<\/li>\n
  2. Adjust the display on your computer and\/or your mobile phone. Don\u2019t hesitate to use \u201cnight vision\u201d settings during all times of the day.<\/li>\n
