Whether we’re shielding our skin from the sun or protecting it from the aging effects of gravity, sometimes it feels like our complexion is under attack from all sides. And with the increasing adoption of new technology, we can add one more aggressor to the list: blue light. This type of light comes at us from multiple sources – not only does blue light come from the sun but also the screen of your cell phone, computer, flat-screen TV and the majority of light bulbs.

Many of us already know we need SPF when we’re happily tanning on the beach in Costa Rica. But if you want to keep your skin looking radiant and healthy long term, you also need to wear sunscreen on a daily basis. Sunscreen protects us from sun damage, reduces our risk of skin cancer, prevents the early onset of wrinkles and works immediately upon application.

Wear sunscreen every day, even on rainy days! The blue light emitted by your cellphone and computer screens can not only make it harder to fall asleep at night, it could be damaging your skin too. Sunscreen helps protect your skin from blue light as well as the sun. So, when you’re hibernating at home binging Netflix and scrolling Instagram, sunscreen is defending your skin from the damaging blue light.
