The Effects of Blue Light and How To Avoid Them

The Effects of Blue Light and How To Avoid Them

Did you know that the time you spend in front of a computer screen or in an office under artificial lights can dramatically age your skin? By understanding blue light and where it comes from, we can also understand how we can avoid it.

Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, defines what blue light is, why it can be damaging to the skin, and gives us biohacking strategies to mitigate the effects of blue light.


What we discuss:

02:40 - Where blue light comes from

05:37 - How blue light can cause collagen breakdown

08:59 - How blue light exposure is associated with increased inflammation

10:10 - Strategies to protect your skin from blue light

14:06 - Young Goose products that help minimize DNA damage



Key Takeaways:

  • Blue light doesn't penetrate very deeply into the skin, but it creates oxidative stress on the top layer of the skin. This can cause inflammation and lead to collagen breakdown.
  • Blue light exists and changes throughout the day, which lets us know what time of day it is and helps us reset our circadian rhythm.
  • Blue light can increase water loss in the skin, so using a moisturizer that can mitigate some of that loss is important.
