Blue light can penetrate the skin more than other lights and may cause some negative consequences on the skin. These include signs of premature aging, skin tone irregularities, redness in sensitive people, increased blemishes, loss of elasticity in the skin, coarsening and deepening of lines, a dull appearance on the skin and even DNA damage in skin cells. Therefore, it is stated that blue light may increase the risk of skin cancer. Exposure to blue light, especially at night, can disrupt the skin's self-repair mechanism as it conflicts with the skin's biological rhythm. This may lead to increased signs of aging and disease on the skin.

It is necessary to take some precautions to protect from the harms of blue light. Using broad-spectrum sunscreens, paying attention to blue light filters in cosmetic products, not using technological devices at night, paying attention to skin care and taking antioxidant support are among these precautions. Additionally, eating healthy, consuming water and avoiding harmful habits are also important to maintain skin health.
