We spend a lot of time in front of mobile phones, tablets, computers and televisions. The blue light emitted by these devicesreaches the lower layersof our skin and causes oxidative stress and cell damage in the skin. Signs of aging such assaggingandwrinklesappear much earlier. This process is called "Digital aging".
LR Blue Light Defender Face Serumprovides active and preventive protection against the negative effects of blue light. The serum protects the skin against digital aging with a unique triple effect withspirulina extractandblue lotus extract:
Reflection: The phycocyanin color pigment in spirulina extract absorbs blue light for full protection against premature skin aging and skin irritations and reduces high-energy light rays by reflecting them like a protective shield.
Radical scavenger: Blue lotus extract is an effective radical scavenger and thus combats oxidative stress for a youthful and radiant skin appearance.
Repair: The photolyase enzyme in spirulina extract repairs cell damage caused by exposure to blue light and prevents the formation of fine wrinkles to visibly reduce existing wrinkles.
Why is blue light not good for my skin?
Blue light is part of UV rays.In naturally occurring amounts, it has no negative effects on our skin. However, as we are exposed to more and more screen light, increasing amounts of blue light can be harmful to our skin. Similar to UV radiation, it promotes the development of free radicals and can cause DNA and cell damage, as well as premature aging of the skin and skin irritation.
–Free radicalsare a byproduct of our metabolism. However, external factors such as the blue light mentioned above, UV radiation, alcohol and smoking, lack of sleep and stress also promote the development of free radicals. These molecules can react with healthy body cells and cause all kinds of damage to the cells. Most of the time, the body's own protective mechanisms fail. Free radicals accelerate the aging process by causing inflammation, skin irritation and redness. This is called oxidative stress.
–Antioxidantsneutralize free radicals in the body by preventing the oxidation process. Antioxidants occur naturally in the body or are taken in from outside through a balanced diet. However, to provide the skin with sufficient antioxidants to prevent premature aging, a facial care product that provides the skin with additional antioxidants, such asLR Blue Light Defender Face Serum, is recommended.
INFORMATION ABOUT INGREDIENTS
Spirulina algaehave existed for over 3.5 billion years and are therefore among the oldest living plant-like organisms on Earth. Like other algae and plants, they produce oxygen for billions of years and thus contribute to the source of all life on Earth. Green-blue algae are one of the active ingredients ofLR Zeitgard Blue Light Defenderbecause they have their own protection and defence mechanisms against blue light. The extract from spirulina algae mainly contains the enzyme photolyase and the colour pigment phycocyanin. The photolyase enzyme repairs all cell damage caused by UV and HEV light. The colour pigment phycocyanin absorbs blue light and reflects it like a protective shield, protecting our skin from further secondary damage.
The blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea)is a symbol of immortality and eternal youth. Considered the most sacred flower in Egypt, the blue lotus was used as a therapeutic plant in Egyptian medicine and was very popular due to its enchanting scent. With its strong antioxidant effect, it perfectly complements the spirulina extract inLR Blue Light Defender. Blue lotus extract neutralises free radicals – in other words, it is an excellent radical scavenger. Blue lotus extract counteracts oxidative stress and its negative effects on our skin. At the same time, it offers optimum cell protection, moisturises, soothes skin irritations such as redness and increases skin elasticity.
WHO CAN USE IT?
Everyone! Because every day, everyone is exposed to blue light and environmental influences that cause oxidative stress. Especially people who work in front of computer screens and use mobile phones and digital devices.
HOW TO USE
In the morningapply a drop of the serum evenly to cleansed skin. The serum is absorbed by the skin after about one minute, after which you can continue with your daily LR skincare routine.
LR Zeitgard Blue Light Defenderis a serum and should not be used alone as a facial care product. It forms a protective shield against digital ageing and is the perfect basis for your daily skincare routine. To continue caring for your skin, apply your daily care products after the serum. For your daily facial care, we recommendLR Racine Day Cream, LR Aloe Vera Day Cream,LR Beauty Diamonds Day CreamorLR Nanogold Day Cream, depending on your skin's needs.
Since we are not usually exposed to blue light during the night, we recommend using a different serum such as Serox Instant Result Serum or the firming and moisturisingLR Racine Collagen Serumbefore your night cream before going to bed.
