Working from home (WFH) means you will face your laptop screen longer than you should or binge-watching on Netflix to treat yourself after endless hard work.
According to a study, an average of 76% of the people increased in using screen time during the pandemic. It’s mainly because we need to stay indoors, limit ourselves with indoor activities in the hope to save lives.
Even though you’re safe and sound, UV rays and blue light are still coming at you, no matter where you are. In fact, did you know that your laptop screen actually exposes you to more UV exposure if you stare at it for a longer time? Before we dig deeper, let’s get to know about the basic information first.
Blue light is one of several colours in the visible light spectrum from the ROYGBIV acronym.
Shari Marchbein, a board-certified dermatologist and clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University School of Medicine, explained: “One of the reasons that blue light has become a concern is that High Energy Visible (HEV) light. Which typically refers to blue wavelengths on the visible light spectrum, not only comes from sun exposure but also from computer screens, cell phones, and other digital devices.”
Since we spend most of our lives staring at screens, “We are substantially increasing our exposure,” according to Tiffany J. Libby, a board-certified dermatologist in South Kingstown, Rhode Island.
It’s still ongoing research on how blue lights can affect our skin. Still, an early study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology in 2010 found that exposing skin to the amount of blue light we get from the sun caused more pigment, redness, and swelling than when the same person’s skin was exposed to comparable levels of UVA rays.
Besides experiencing eye strain, Marchbein explained further that blue light “contributes to brown spots on the skin and hyperpigmentation such as melasma, and possibly to photo ageing and the breakdown of collagen, which leads to wrinkles and skin laxity.”
Even though these effects aren’t always visible right away, it’s best to prevent them from happening. One of the ways is to implement the Holika Holika Gold Kiwi Vita C+ line in your skincare routine!

Meenakashi Gupta, an assistant professor of ophthalmology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, said: “Blue light plays a critical role in maintaining good health, as it regulates our body’s circadian rhythm — our natural sleep-wake cycle,”
