The Hazards of Blue Light
Not only UV rays but also blue light from electronic devices like phones and computers have an impact that accelerates skin aging, reduces collagen production…even more damaging than UVA rays.
Blue light speeds up the aging process of the skin by stimulating the production of free radicals, which escape the skin’s natural barrier and permanently damage the skin’s DNA.
There are many ways to protect the skin from the effects of blue light, and the most familiar one is using sunscreens to protect the skin. If your skin is exposed to the computer frequently and is aging due to blue light, you can use green tea for facial cleansing.
Wash Your Face with Diluted Green Tea
If you use the computer too much, the radiation from electronic devices accelerates the aging process of the skin, causing it to age, darken, and become damaged. That’s why you need to wash your face with diluted green tea to prevent this condition.
How to do it:
– Fresh green tea leaves are better than dried ones.
– Soak a few green tea leaves in warm water, preferably for 10 – 15 minutes. Dilute the green tea to cleanse the face.
– Cleanse with a facial cleanser, then press your face into the green tea bowl for about 3 – 5 seconds.
– Gently massage the skin to allow the nutrients to penetrate the cells.
You can use a tea-soaked face towel to apply evenly to your face or use a tea-soaked cotton pad and apply it to your skin.
