Since #lockdown, have you spent more time staring at your screen? Are your eyes tired? Dark circles and tired eyes? What is the cause of this? And what can be done to prevent it from happening?
Why is screen time bad for our eyes?
The more time we spend in front of screens, the higher our exposure to high-energy blue waves. If you’re not aware, blue light is a color that falls within the “visible spectrum” and can therefore be seen by our eyes.
Even two hours of continuous use on a digital screen can cause fatigue or eyestrain. The blue light suppresses melatonin production, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep. This disrupts our normal sleeping pattern. We all know that poor sleep can cause premature aging, especially in the eye area.
How can you prevent it?
You can help your eyes in many ways, including avoiding screen time an hour before going to bed, eating foods rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, and buying blue-light filters. But if you want to really show your love for them, add an eye cream both morning and evening into your beauty regime.
Eye creams differ from your everyday moisturizers or serums because they contain active ingredients that are designed to repair and nurture the delicate area around the eye – which is the thinnest skin layer on our bodies and can be up to 10% thinner than our facial skin! They are designed to address specific eye concerns such as crow’s feet, dark circles, and under-eye bags.
These four eye creams are worth your money and will help you combat eye fatigue.
