Sugar, sunlight, over-exfoliation, pollution—these are some of the things you need to avoid when it comes to caring for your skin. However, over the past few months, it seems that there is yet another that has surfaced: blue light.

Emitted by devices such as laptops, televisions, tablets, and smartphones, blue light has been touted as an impossible-to-escape threat to our skin's health.
