skin care, Blue light defendor

Description: Many people work on their computers and / or mobile phones on a daily basis. On top of that, we use mobile phones in our free time any may also watch TV – all this results in a great number of hours that we spend in front of screens and expose our skin to blue light. An excess of blue light may trigger oxidative stress as well as DNA and cell damage in the skin. This leads to the formation of free radicals and thus to premature skin ageing and wrinkles – so-called digital aging. Free radicals are a by-product of our metabolism, but external influences such as the above-mentioned blue light, stress, lack of sleep and cigarette consumption also promote their development. These molecules can react with healthy body cells, resulting all kinds of damage. Often, the body’s own protective mechanism no longer suffices. Free radicals cause inflammation, skin irritation and redness, and they accelerate the process of ageing. This is called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress leads to premature skin ageing and the formation of wrinkles. Blue light is also called high-energy visible light (HEV). It penetrates our skin deeper than UV radiation. It is emitted by screens of all digital devices such as TVs, mobile phones etc., but is also present in daylight. Blue light is part of UV light, and natural levels do not damage our skin. But since we are increasingly exposed to ever more screen light, we see a “surplus” of blue light, which may be harmful to our skin.

What is blue light and digital aging? Blue light is also called high-energy visible light (HEV). It penetrates our skin deeper than UV rays. It is emitted by all screens of digital devices such as TVs, mobile phones etc., but is also present in daylight. It triggers oxidative stress as well as DNA and cell damage in the skin and thus causes premature skin aging, so-called digital aging. 1.1 Why is it “bad” for my skin? Blue light is part of UV light. In naturally occurring amounts, it does not have a negative effect on our skin. But since we are increasingly exposed to ever more screen light, we see a “surplus” of blue light, which may be harmful to our skin. It furthers the development of free radicals and – like UV radiation – can cause premature skin aging, skin irritation as well as DNA and cell damage. o Free radicals are a by-product of our metabolism. But external influences such as the above-mentioned blue light, UV radiation, alcohol and cigarette consumption, lack of sleep and stress also promote their development. These molecules can react with healthy body cells, resulting all kinds of damage. Often, the body’s own protective mechanism no longer suffices. Free radicals cause inflammation, skin irritation and redness, and they accelerate the process of aging. This is called oxidative stress. o Antioxidants ward off free radicals in the body by preventing the process of oxidation in the body. Antioxidants occur naturally in the body or are absorbed through a balanced diet. However, in order to supply the skin with enough antioxidants to prevent premature aging, a facial care product such as LR ZEITGARD BLUE LIGHT DEFENDER is recommended, as this provides the skin with additional antioxidants. 2. How does the LR ZEITGARD BLUE LIGHT DEFENDER serum work? The BLUE LIGHT DEFENDER Serum is an intelligent serum that offers the ultimate all-round skin protection against digital aging with a unique triple action effect: o Reflection: The colour pigment phycocyanin contained in the spirulina extract absorbs the blue light and reduces the high-energy light rays by reflecting them like a protective shield – for comprehensive protection against premature skin aging and skin irritation. o Radical scavenger: Blue lotus extract is an effective radical scavenger and thus combats oxidative stress – for a youthful and radiant complexion. o Repair: The enzyme photolyase contained in the spirulina extract repairs any cell damage to the skin that has already been caused by exposure to blue light and thereby prevents the formation of premature wrinkles – for a significant reduction in existing wrinkles. 3. When and how do I use LRZEITGARD BLUE LIGHT DEFENDER Serum and wich LR products should I combine it? Evenly apply one blob of the serum to your cleansed face every morning. After roughly one minute, your skin will have absorbed the serum, and you can continue with your usual LR skincare routine on top of the serum. For your daily facial skincare, we recommend LR ALOE VIA Aloe Vera Multi-Active Day Cream, LR ZEITGARD Beauty Diamonds, LR ZEITGARD Nanogold or LR ZEITGARD Platinum Day Cream, depending on your skin’s needs. As the BLUE LIGHT DEFENDER Serum is a serum, it should not be used as your only facial skincare product. The serum forms an effective protective shield against digital ageing and is the perfect basis for your daily facial skincare routine. Apply your day care products after the serum in order to give your skin all the pampering it needs. Since we are generally not exposed to blue light during the night, we recommend you use a different serum before going to bed, e.g. Serox Instant Result Serum or the firming and moisturising LR ZEITGARD Racine Collagen Serum before you apply your night cream. 4. Who should use the BLUE LIGHT DEFENDER Serum? Everyone! Because every day, everyone is exposed to blue light and external environmental influences that lead to oxidative stress. Especially people who work at computer screens and use mobile phones and digital devices. 5. What is so special about the spirulina- and blue lotus extract? Nature is the expert: the spirulina algae have their own inherent protection and defence mechanism against blue light that is only activated when they are exposed to blue light. The spirulina extract is obtained from the spirulina algae (Arthrospira platensis), which are classed as microalgae. The spirulina algae have been around for more than 3.5 billion years and can be found in shallow subtropical to tropical waters in South-East Asia, Middle America, Africa and Australia. The spirulina extract primarily contains the enzyme photolyase and the colour pigment phycocyanin. Photolyase repairs any damage to skin cells caused by UV and HEV light. Phycocyanin protects our facial skin from additional secondary damage by absorbing the blue light and reflecting it. This power combination is activated when exposed to blue light. The blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is a symbol of immortality and eternal youth. The blue flower with a golden heart opens at dawn and only closes at sunset, emits a delicate and mystical scent and is considered the most holy flower of Egypt. The blue lotus extract is an ideal radical scavenger as it neutralises free radicals. Thus, the extract counteracts oxidative stress and the negative effects it has on our skin. It also offers optimal cell protection, moisturises, soothes skin irritation, reduces redness and improves skin elasticity.
