Understanding Blue Light and Its Impact on Your Skin
While UV rays are commonly known to cause skin damage, blue light is another factor that can contribute to premature aging and pigmentation problems. According to Dr. Christopher Schmidt, a dermatologist and lifelong swimmer, blue light penetrates deeply into the skin, leading to oxidative stress that accelerates aging and causes uneven skin tone. For those who spend significant time outdoors or in front of screens, the cumulative effects of blue light can be substantial.
Sunscreens That Don’t Protect Against Blue Light
Not all sunscreens offer protection against blue light, so it's important to select the right one. Traditional chemical sunscreens (such as oxybenzone, avobenzone, and octinoxate) block UVA and UVB rays but do not shield against blue light. For blue light protection, opt for mineral or tinted sunscreens.
Fortunately, DERMASPORT Sunscreen offers both UV and blue light protection! It provides excellent coverage, lasts in the water, and best of all, a small amount goes a long way without stinging your eyes!
Why Blue Light Protection Matters for Swimmers and Outdoor Enthusiasts
Swimmers and outdoor lovers face increased exposure to both sunlight and blue light from the sun, adding to their overall skin exposure. Plus, with the constant use of computer screens, smartphones, and tablets, we’re all exposed to additional blue light. DERMASPORT Sunscreen offers a solution, providing both blue light and UV protection to help maintain healthy, resilient skin for those with active lifestyles.
