Digital ageing is becoming a real skincare concern. Caused by the blue light emitted from the screens of mobile phones and computers (also known as high energy visible light) it is also emitted from the sun, from fluorescent lights and from LED bulbs. But it’s our exposure time and proximity to screens that has coined the term ‘digital ageing’.

Whilst there is evidence that the almost constant screen time in this modern age impairs the skin’s barrier function, studies are not yet conclusive as to how much damage this blue light can do.
However, it is known that blue light exposure increases hyperpigmentation, destroys the Vitamin A necessary for skin health, and as well as accelerating free radicals and the oxidation process - a major cause of skin ageing.

Blue light is especially worrying because of its ability to reach deeper levels of skin, damaging the layers where elastin and collagen are formed. Lines, wrinkles and a loss of elasticity may all be signs of digital ageing.

Mx Skincare has developed products such as the Cosmeceutical Serum Vitamin B3+ and Cosmeceutical Serum Vitamin C+, which used every morning together with the Cosmeceutical Serum Vitamin A+ used nightly, help repair the Digital Ageing oxidation and inflammation damage caused by blue light.

Unfortunately, sunscreen does not protect the skin from blue light rays, as they are formulated to block UVA and UVB wave lengths only. That's why in today’s digital world, you need a skincare solution to combat the daily effects of blue light exposure to protect, prevent and repair the after-effects.
