The New Pollutant: HEV Light
In 2026, we spend more time than ever in front of screens. High Energy Visible (HEV) Light—or Blue Light—penetrates deeper into the skin than UV rays, reaching the layers where collagen and elastin live.
The “Digital Aging” Effect
Exposure to screens for 8+ hours a day can lead to:
Pigment Shifts: Blue light triggers melanocytes, leading to stubborn “tech spots” (melasma).
Collagen Fragmentation: It generates oxidative stress that “chops up” your collagen fibers.
Sleep-Skin Disruption: Blue light at night tricks your skin into thinking it’s daytime, stopping the natural nighttime repair cycle.
The Shield: Lutein and Polyphenols
EpiLynx products are formulated with concentrated Plant Polyphenols and Antioxidants that act as “internal sunglasses” for your skin cells, neutralizing HEV light before it can reach your DNA.
FAQ: Blue Light and Digital Aging
Q: Does sunscreen protect against blue light? A: Standard chemical sunscreens do not. You need Mineral Sunscreens (with Iron Oxides) or specialized Antioxidant Serums that are specifically tested to block HEV light.
Q: Can I reverse blue light damage? A: Yes. By using DNA-repairing enzymes and stable Vitamin C, you can help your skin “undo” the oxidative stress caused by your phone and laptop screens.
Q: Is “tech neck” a real skin condition? A: “Tech Neck” refers to the horizontal wrinkles caused by looking down at screens, but it also refers to the thin, crepey skin on the neck caused by concentrated blue light exposure in that area.
Q: Should I wear blue light protection indoors? A: If you work in front of a computer or under LED office lights, yes. Your skin is being exposed to “digital pollution” all day long.
