\n For this month\u2019s Beauty Edit, I wanted to talk more about something I\u2019ve been researching (and worrying about) lately: BLUE LIGHT.
\n <\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \"\"\n <\/p>\n

\n A little over a year ago, I was introduced to a term called \u201cblue light\u201d (I believe it was
\n
\n
\n
\n Krista\u2019s blog
\n <\/a>
\n <\/em>
\n <\/strong>
\n where I first read about it). I had been getting
\n
\n really
\n <\/em>
\n awful migraines, and once I started wearing blue light lenses, it was all fixed. I was shocked at how my eyesight and motor skills were being impacted by all of the screen time.
\n
\n
\n
\n I even wrote a post about it here
\n <\/a>
\n <\/em>
\n <\/strong>
\n . I\u2019m so reliant on my blue light lenses that I have pairs at my office, my home office, and at Matt\u2019s! I highly recommend for anyone that is constantly on their phones and computers!\n <\/p>\n

\n About a week ago, I was looking through Instagram Stories and stumbled upon

\n post about HEV (the fancy term for blue light) light, and I instantly started freaking out. Why you might ask? Because blue light not only affects your eyes, but also your
\n
\n SKIN
\n <\/strong>
\n .\n <\/p>\n

\n I\u2019ve been making a conscious effort to take really good care of my skin this year, so when I read this, I started to panic and read more about it. I obviously know just how much time we spend on our phones (thanks to the new Screen Time feature -_-), but I didn\u2019t realize that

\n
\n spending four eight-hour workdays in front of a computer exposes you to the same amount of energy as 20 minutes in the mid-day sun

\n . SAY WHAT?!\n <\/p>\n

\n So how does blue light affect your skin exactly?\n <\/p>\n
