With the onset of the spring-summer period, the issue of skin protection from ultraviolet radiation and the prevention of photoaging becomes especially relevant for cosmetologists and their clients. As you know, actinic dermatitis provoked by the sun differs from age-related signs, although it is accompanied by almost the same skin changes. We observe increased dryness, the appearance of hyperpigmentation and wrinkles, loss of tone and other signs of fading. However, unlike a biological process, photoaging is reversible. The effects of UV radiation of various spectra are already well understood, and the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation are called the main cause of skin aging. Recently, however, dermatologists have increasingly begun to talk about the problem of a different type of radiation. Read more about protecting the skin from it at estet-portal.com.
Why skin protection from blue light rays is required
Blue Light is the segment of the visible light spectrum adjacent to the ultraviolet, consisting of the violet and blue colors. Also known as High Energy Visible light (HEV), it belongs to the short wavelength range of visible light (380-500nm) and is 25% of visible (white) light.
HEV (or blue light) – this is what comes from our favorite and already familiar gadgets (laptops, tablets, smartphones), and also enters the visible light spectrum.
Blue Light Sources:
• natural – sun;
• artificial – LCD/LED technologies used in modern electronics and artificial lighting sources.
LCD/LED sources are much lower than the sun, but contain 40% more HEV light than natural light.

In 2006, evidence was presented of the harmful effects of blue light on the skin. It has become known that it leads to premature skin aging and the appearance of age spots, having a damaging effect on all layers of the skin:
• destroys lipid bonds between the cells of the water-lipid mantle,
• promotes transdermal moisture loss,
• at the basal level stimulates the release of melanin, provokes the appearance of age spots,
• destroys collagen fibers.
Most dangerously, HEV rays amplify the negative effects of UV radiation, so they can increase the risk of skin cancer.
Thus, since 2006 there has been a need for another – blue light screen. And such a filter was developed and implemented by Skeyndor, the official representative of which is EuroEstetGroup.
Features of blue light shielding technology for skin protection
Blue Light Technology from Skeyndor – unique and one of a kind, which does not allow blue light rays to penetrate the skin.
Unlike most other technologies that aim to block oxidative stress, Blue Light Technology blocks the direct penetration of HEV into the skin.
If other technologies only eliminate the effects of blue light exposure, then Blue Light Technology works like a photo filter.
Skeyndor's Sun Expertise Blue Light Technology line contains 2 photoprotectors:
• reflective screen – titanium dioxide with a particle size of >10-50nm (sunscreen) and <1µm (pigment);
• corrective pigments: iron oxide - for correcting yellow and green color on the skin,
• chromophoric substance of natural origin (based on caramel).
Chromophore molecules absorb the energy of solar radiation, decompose the light of the blue spectrum into yellow and green, which are safe for the skin. Thus, we can talk about the complex protection of the skin from various types of radiation.
Skin protection products with effective photo filters
We, as specialists, must clearly understand that when choosing protective equipment, many factors must be taken into account. Such products should contain only high-quality and effective photo filters (chemical and physical) that provide a wide range of protection.
Skeyndor's Sun Expertise Blue Light Technology products provide global protection and contain UVB, UVA, HEV (blue light) and IR (infrared) screens.
The ruler is represented by two effective means:
• Protective Face Cream SPF 50+;
• Protective Fluid for Face & Body SPF 30.
All products in the line have a light texture, are easy to apply and spread, do not leave a greasy sheen or a sticky feeling, and provide effective and safe protection.
Sun Expertise Blue Light Technology products, presented on our market by EuroEstetGroup, are recommended for patients who spend a lot of time in front of computer and smartphone monitors, as well as basic protection against solar radiation.
