We’re all aware of the damaging effects the sun can have on our skin, from skin cancer to accelerated signs of aging. However, until recently, few people were appropriately concerned about the blue light streaming from our devices almost 24/7. Now that we know blue light can penetrate multiple layers of skin and negatively impact them, many brands have developed products to help protect your skin. Good SPFs generally have broad-spectrum protection, but if you’re seeking additional blue light protecting products, look no further.

Susanne Kaufmann Blue Light Defense & Moisturizing Mist ($82)
This mist is designed to protect the skin while supporting the body’s natural repair mechanisms. Susanne Kaufmann herself uses the spray after cleansing before jumping into the rest of her skin-care routine. “This way, it can be absorbed directly and protects the skin from negative environmental influences such as air pollution and radiation from digital devices,” she says on her site.
