In the end, it seems that artificial blue light from smartphones, tablets and other screens may not be harmful to skin. A new scientific study suggests that artificial blue light only has a “negligible effect” on skin, unlike natural blue light from the sun, which the scientists consider to be “the actual danger”, potentially accelerating skin aging and increasing hyperpigmentation.

While artificial blue light is known to be bad for eyesight, its effects on skin have not yet been scientifically proven. Debates around the subject intensified, however, when the first Covid-related lockdowns led people to spend more time in front of screens of all kinds, from laptops to smartphones to tablets.
