ILIA Blue Light Mist

I’m sure your skincare routine already includes UV protection and maybe pollution protection, but what about blue light protection?
You may own a pair of blue light blocking glasses. Your skin needs the same kind of attention.

ILIA’s blue light mist promises to defend your skin from the harmful effects of blue light. Spraying your face with this product (after makeup or just moisturizer) will “envelop your skin in a weightless veil that helps boost skin's defenses against environmental stressors.”

Beloved skin-centric beauty brand ILIA uses 3 key active ingredients in its blue light mist:

- Tara Extract: This is the star ingredient of the mist, “Neutralizes free radicals to help defend skin from blue light exposure.” Tara is a small leguminous tree that is native to the Peruvian Andes. The extract from Tara’s fruits (called pods) inhibits light induced skin aging.

- Marine Actives: hydrate, firm, and help protect skin from pollution.

- Mastic: smooths skin, refines pores, and controls excess shine.

I find ILIA’s blue light mist very pleasant to use (smell and texture) and I appreciate that it doesn't disrupt the rest of your skin care routine as you can use it at the very end like an add-on. I love to spray it on days I know I’m going to be in front of a screen for hours.
