Warning from the expert: Your skin is under threat from blue light

While technology simplifies our lives, an unseen threat is targeting our skin. The blue light emitted from phone, computer, and television screens causes premature aging, blemishes, and loss of skin elasticity. Dermatology Specialist Dr. Sena İnal Aptoula from Medipol Acıbadem Regional Hospital explained the damage digital enemies inflict on our skin and how to protect ourselves.

Blue light can cause premature wrinkling, loss of elasticity, dullness, increased blemishes, and weakening of the skin barrier. Dr. Aptoula said, "These rays can also increase free radical production in the skin, leading to DNA damage. This has serious long-term negative effects on skin health."

Pay attention to your care routine to stay protected

In addition to reducing screen time, using products that protect the skin from blue light is crucial. Dr. Aptoula recommended using antioxidant serums (vitamin C, niacinamide, ferulic acid) along with sunscreens with blue light protection in the morning. In the evening, Dr. Aptoula emphasized the importance of moisturizers that strengthen the skin barrier, adding, "Blue light suppresses collagen production and damages skin tissue. Damage is especially noticeable in sensitive and blemish-prone skin. Therefore, a daily care routine and protective products play a key role in maintaining skin health."
