Digital pollution

Did you know that according to market-research group Nielsen, adults spent over 11 hours per day interacting with media. Smartphones, computers, tablets, TV and even LED lamps are all considered as our screen time.

This type of pollution comes from all sources of environmental pollution produced by digital tools. Digital pollution is relatively new type of pollution. It has a negative effect on our skin due to prolonged exposure to screens from devices such as tablets, smartphones, computers, and televisions. These screens produce blue light, which has a very high energy wavelength and acts as pollutant on our skin.

The blue light pollution causes oxidative stress on the epidermis and reduces the production of high-quality collagen, which damages the epidermis, oxidises its membrane and accelerates skin ageing.

The effects of digital pollution can lead to:

1. Dehydration: Prolonged screen time can contribute to skin dehydration.
2. Loss of Radiance: Skin may lose its natural glow and appear dull.
3. Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity due to exposure to blue light can cause skin inflammation.
4. Aging: Blue light exposure may accelerate premature aging of the skin. You may notice appearance of wrinkles and see ageing spots on the skin.

To protect your skin from digital pollution, you should consider the following tips:

1. Antioxidants: Make sure your antioxidant consumption is sufficient. Consider using antioxidant supplements or skincare products containing high quality antioxidants.
2. Skincare Routine: Follow a Kremca Lifestyle skincare routine that includes protective measures against digital pollution.

Blue light has wavelength of 390-500nm and can therefore penetrate deeper into the dermal layers of the skin. This is where it will generate reactive oxygen species, which can cause oxidative damage and photo-aging of the skin.

This is just too much screen time, so please consider some of the exciting cosmetic solutions regarding this issue and try to spend more time screen-free.
