Natural Light Treatment for Acne without UV? How?
Sunlight provides a broad spectrum of light with wavelengths that range from 400 to 750 nm. Blue light, with a wavelength from 405-420nm, is part of the natural sunlight spectrum. Blue light has been shown to kill the acne bacteria, and this may be one of the reasons that sunlight has been thought to help. The LUSTRE ClearSkin devices have been created to provide
blue light
with a wavelength of 415nm – effective for killing bacteria but without the harmful UV rays, no increased pigmentation and no increased redness.
Sunbeds typically deliver UVA with wavelengths 315-400nm, and these UVA rays can be up to 3-6 x more intense than sunlight, so no effect on acne bacteria, but all the risks of increasing redness and
pigmentation
.
So, how can we combine what we have learned from science and nature to get the best of both worlds?
You can try the five top tips below to boost your feel-good hormones and improve the health of your skin:
Wear a non-comedogenic (which means it doesn’t block your pores) broad-spectrum sunscreen (which will protect you against the damaging UVA and UVB) on your face
Expose other parts of your body to the sun for up to ½ an hour
Enjoy a leisurely walk in the sun, thus boosting your vitamin D and your mood
Avoid sunbeds.
