What is radiation and how does it affect our skin?

Everything in the twenty-first century comes in handy; whether it's the next show tickets or a place to crash for a weekend getaway. However, with the ease of information comes something even scarier, radiation which we had no idea we were inadvertently ingesting. But somehow we know that blue light can cause damage to our eyes and weaken our retinas, so imagine the amount of damage it can do to our skin. It can be really frightening!

We are surrounded by electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, laptops that emit radiation. But do we know what radiation is exactly? and what kind of damage it does to the skin?
The cell phone you're using right now, or the laptop you're reading this blog from, all have one thing in common, antennas. The antennas are chipped in to make a connection with the signal tower. These antennas as a form of connection emit radiation that harms our skin with time.
We all know, as informative as the digital world can be but there are times when it can be overwhelming us with misleading information. In this blog, we're focusing on guiding you with the do's and don'ts of radiation and how to protect your skin from the same.

Skin discoloration

All electronic devices have one thing in common, and that is the harmful radiation effect on the skin. Skin damage is a major phenomenon now-a-days, radiation penetrating into the skin causes itchiness, dryness leading towards skin discoloration by turning red or dark.

Premature aging

No amount of beauty care works on the skin if it is consuming radiation rather than vitamins and minerals. Given our current lifestyle of being around electronic devices all the time, our skin cycle is heading in the wrong direction. Radiations emitted from devices or the sun create tanning beds on our skin. Overexposure to UV rays harms the inner layer of tissues by making them lose their elasticity. Hence radiation leads us to premature aging and such side effects.

The breakouts

When our skin dislikes the environment around us, it showcases the same in different ways. Breakouts are one of the common problems noticed due to the environment. The skin loses its guards or becomes more sensitive, which eventually manifests itself in the form of breakouts.

Skin pigmentation

Considering all of the skin damages caused by radiation and blue lights, skin pigmentation is one of the worst and possibly the most irritating skin conditions one adopts via radiation. As much as we want to avoid it, there is no escape, skin pigmentation is a condition where skin adopts darkening spots around the area.

Skin sensitivity

As we age, skin sensitivity is one of the most significant factors that directly affect our skin and cause permanent damage to it, whether we get redness easily or dry skin all over it. Skin sensitivity weakens the strength of your skin, the more sensitive the skin, the less likely the skin is to fight against the harmful particles of the air. This is where the radiation enters the picture by weakening the skin to the point where it can no longer bear anything.

Dark circles

Imagine the entire face is flawless and the red bags around the eyes sit rent-free! If you ask us, it's time to act upon the skin damage. No amount of good skin can cover the weightage of the heavy dark circles.

Solutions:

  1. Allow your skin to absorb more than just radiation by getting out in the fresh air and allowing it to heal in nature.
  2. There is nothing like drinking too much water; the more you drink, the more your skin will thank you. So drink water and shield yourself from radiation with water.
  3. Wash your face on a regular basis, and make sure your eyes are getting enough water so the harmful radiation is washed away with each splash.
