Protect Your Skin From Artificial Lighting
Did you know that artificial lighting can do damage to your skin? Many people protect their skin from the sun’s harmful rays with sunscreen, but don’t protect themselves indoors.
Artificial lighting emits high levels of blue light which penetrates all the way to the dermis level. The blue light can cause free radical damage to cell membranes, leading to accelerated skin aging - and who needs that!
Bioelements Lutein Indoor Protective Day Crème is the first and only product on the market designed specifically to address harmful blue light.
This new, rich cream moisturizer utilizes 100% natural lutein derived from the petal of the marigold flower. The natural yellow carotenoid pigment only found in lutein absorbs and filters out potentially damaging blue light from visible light. It sounds like an interesting technology and we can all use as much anti-aging protection as we can get.
The lutein in this cream is a highly effective antioxidant that hydrates the skin and also helps to protect it from indoor pollution. You can get Bioelements Lutein Indoor Protective Day Crème for $49.50 (2.5 oz). It is available online at Dermstore.com or SkinCareRX.com, as well as in spas nationwide.
Bioelements is used by makeup artists on the sets of Ugly Betty, Brothers and Sisters, Dancing with the Stars, and Kath & Kim.

Isn’t IPL blue light? I thought blue light was good for our skin …. ugh, now another thing to worry about! Lol.
Wow. Who knew? Our skin is so sensitive. If only they could roll all of these products into one!
There is also a big threat to skin when using a sun tan booth. The sun tan booth light is much more powerful than the sun. You can see some articles about this at this blog http://www.eczemabathsalt.com/blog
