Blue light, also known as high-energy visible (HEV) light, is emitted by electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and artificial light sources like LED lights. While natural sunlight also contains blue light, prolonged exposure to artificial blue light sources can have potential effects on the skin.

1) Oxidative Stress: Blue light exposure can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the skin, leading to oxidative stress. ROS are unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to premature aging, including the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.

2) Inflammation: Blue light exposure can trigger inflammation in the skin, leading to redness, sensitivity, and potential skin barrier disruption. Inflammatory responses can contribute to skin conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema.

3) Disruption of Circadian Rhythm: Blue light exposure in the evening or at night can disrupt the body's natural circadian rhythm, affecting sleep patterns. Lack of quality sleep can contribute to skin issues, including dullness, dark circles, and impaired skin healing.

4) Collagen Breakdown: Studies suggest that blue light can accelerate the breakdown of collagen, a crucial protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Collagen degradation can result in sagging skin and loss of structural support.

5) Hyperpigmentation: Some research indicates that blue light may contribute to the development of hyperpigmentation, such as melasma or dark spots. Blue light can stimulate the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, leading to uneven skin tone.

Here's the good news, two of the key ingredients in our Aura Beauty Mist can help!

Tremella mushroom has properties that can help protect the skin from the potential harmful effects of blue light because it contains natural compounds, such as polysaccharides and antioxidants, which possess skin-protective properties. These compounds have been reported to have moisturizing, hydrating, and anti-inflammatory effects on the skin. By incorporating tremella mushroom extract into your skincare regimen, it can provide a layer of defense against blue light-induced damage.

The other ingredient in our Aura Beauty Mist is Red Arctic algae peptide, derived from unique algae species found in extreme cold environments, contains bioactive compounds that can provide antioxidant and protective effects. These compounds have the potential to neutralize free radicals and minimize oxidative stress caused by blue light exposure. Additionally, red Arctic algae peptide may help enhance the skin's natural defense mechanisms, improving its resilience against external stressors.

Besides using Aura beauty Mist for protecting the skin from blue light, I recommend using it in combination with using blue light filters or screen protectors and reducing screen time.
