According to Healthshots, here are some reasons why you should wear sunscreen even indoors.
Although window panels block UV rays to some extent, they do not fully filter these rays. There are two types of UV rays: UVA and UVB. UVA acids increase the aging rate of skin cells and are the biggest cause of wrinkles. UVB rays cause sunburn and are associated with skin cancer. The glass panels block most of the UVB rays but cannot block the UVA rays, causing collagen production to decline and can lead to serious skin problems such as melasma.
In addition, phone and laptop screens can damage the skin. That is because the blue light emitted from these devices, also known as high-energy potential light (HEV), can penetrate deep into your skin, causing many dark spots and wrinkles.
A study published in the Journal of Physics and Biotechnology said that blue light promotes free radicals, which damage and destroy your collagen. In addition, this type of light can also be harmful to human eyes and skin.
So, use sunscreen even indoors to keep your skin safe and healthy.
