![]() ![]() HEVIS light has also been linked to uneven skin pigmentation and melasma. They interfere with skin cells and break down the collagen and elastin that gives our skin its plump, youthful appearance. These free radicals are one of the main causes of photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun). Like UVA rays, HEVIS light penetrates the deeper layers of skin (the dermis) and can generate free radicals. ![]() It is also referred to as HEVIS light, HEV Light, HEVL and sometimes ‘blue light’ or ‘blue violet light’ Part of this visible spectrum has a high energy level and is known as high-energy visible light. Visible sunlight can be detected by the human eye, while the others remain invisible. The sunlight spectrum consists of UV, visible and infrared light. What is high-energy visible light and why does my skin need to be protected from it? UVB rays are directly absorbed by cellular DNA and can lead to skin diseases such as actinic keratosis and skin cancer.īoth types of UV can induce hyperpigmentationand may contribute to conditions such as sun spots (also known as age spots) and melasma. They don’t travel as deeply as UVA rays, penetrating only the outermost layers of skin, but they cause more immediate damage such as sunburn. UVB rays provide the energy your skin needs to make Vitamin D and stimulate the production of melanin which is responsible for tanning. UVB rays can also provoke allergies, but to a lesser degree. They can also trigger sun allergies such as Polymorphous Light Eruption ( PLE). UVA rays are most commonly associated with photoaging(premature skin aging caused by the sun). They stimulate the production of free radicals in the skin which cause oxidative stress and can lead to indirect DNA damage (where the free radicals modify cellular DNA over time). It is important to protect facial skin whenever it is exposed to the sun.UVA rays penetrate the deeper layers of skin. Sun protection can help you avoid the cellular DNA damage caused by UV, photoaging (premature aging caused by the sun) and hyperpigmentation. That’s why it’s important to include sun protection in your daily skincare routine Recyclableįacial skin is more sensitive to UVA/UVB radiation and HEVIS light than skin on the rest of the body as it is exposed to sun all year round. Light to moderate everyday exposure affects skin too, and blemish-prone skin is particularly susceptible to hyperpigmentation issues which are easily exacerbated by the sun. Sun protection isn’t just for sun bathers. High factor sun protection is particularly important if you are taking acne medication or have used a skin peeling product as both these treatments can make skin even more sensitive to the sun ![]() Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlightĪllow product to absorb completely, and avoid direct contact with textiles and hard surfaces to prevent staining Product SpecificationĪcrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate CrosspolymerĪpply in the morning after, or instead of, your regular day care product Over-exposure to the sun is a serious health threat Reducing the quantity will significantly lower the level of protectionĭo not stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product Unperfumed (Fragrance-free) Warning or RestrictionsĪpply generously before sun exposure and reapply frequently− especially after swimming, perspiring or toweling − to maintain the original protection The sunscreen for oily skin also includes Glycyrrhetinic Acid which supports skin’s own DNA repair mechanism. The Advanced Spectral Technology combines broadband and photostable UVA and UVB filters1 for very high UV protection with Licochalcone A to neutralize free radicals caused by UV and HEVIS light. UV light is the main cause of sun-induced skin damage, but high-energy visible (HEVIS) light can also induce free radicals that cause further stress to skin. The sunscreen also supports skin’s own DNA repair mechanism and includes sebum-regulating Oil Control technology. Eucerin’s Advanced Spectral Technology offers very high factor UVA/UVB protection and HEVIS light defence. ![]()
