Blue light, too, can have a negative effect on your skin. It increases the production of free radicals, causing premature skin ageing. Age spots are one of the best-known consequences of overexposure to blue light. Sure, you could try limiting your screen time, but those of us who use a computer for work will still be exposed to blue light for quite a few hours. So, make sure to protect your skin by regularly adding a serum to your daily skincare routine. Choose a product that protects your skin from free radicals. Retinol, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C and E are the magic ingredients here.

We have talked quite a bit about moisturising and what skin creams to apply, but cleansing is just as important, of course. For instance, it’s a bad idea to go to bed without removing your make-up. Every morning and evening, take the time to cleanse your skin with a cleansing milk and lotion, and try to scrub your skin once a week with a gentle peeling product.
