Worried about blue light damage? Add these products to your skincare kit

Check out this list of highly effective skincare products that help block blue light from seeping into your skin

Hours of binge-watching Netflix, video calling your besties and not to forget our on-desk jobs expose our skin to the dangerous blue light or High Energy Visible light emitted from screens that penetrates deep into our skin and causes major skin damage. In this tech-savvy era, while it is tough to avoid the cause of the problem, we can definitely take precautionary steps to reduce or eliminate its effect.

In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Gagandeep Makker, Co-Founder of Pilgrim, shared a list of highly effective skincare products that help block blue light from seeping into the skin:

1. SPF 50 ++ sunscreen - Sunscreens are the skin’s best friend. From protecting your skin from UV rays to blue light, they do all the jobs equally effectively. However, it can be a little tricky to find the right sunscreen for blue light protection since not all the options available in the market are equipped to fulfil the role. Opt for sunscreens that are specially curated to block visible light from hampering your skin.

2. Sunscreen serums - Face serums have gained a lot of traction in recent years. Needless to say, they are worth the hype. From offering additional hydration to acting as a shielding layer, face serums can offer numerous benefits. Serums are less sticky and thus do not leave a dainty look on your face.

4. Face mist - Face mists are popularly used to add freshness to your look or set makeup but did you know, face mist can protect your skin from blue light as well? When buying a face mist that doubles as a visible light protector, opt for aromatic lavender fragrance as its properties can help calm your senses on a stressful day.
