Your Skin Is Looking at a Screen Right Now. Here's What That Means

You're reading this on a screen.

Which means your face is currently being bathed in blue light. Not dramatically — not in a sci-fi way — but steadily, quietly, in the same way it has been for most of the day. Phone over breakfast. Laptop from nine to five. TV in the evening. Studies suggest the average person spends up to twelve hours a day in front of digital screens. That's more screen exposure than most of us get sun exposure — even in summer, let alone in a New Zealand winter.
