The new pioneering Skin Blue Filter supplement from Advanced Nutrition Programme is a specialised skin supplement that shields your skin from the effects of blue light. Did you know the most harmful blue light actually comes from the sun and not electronic devices. While damaging UV makes up only 5% of sunlight, blue light makes up 25-30%.

Protecting skin from within, a synergy of cell-protecting nutrients and targeted antioxidants (Vitamin E, Biotin, Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Olive Fruit Extract) are all encased in blue capsules derived from spirulina extract.

Excessive blue light exposure can accelerate the signs of ageing, speeding up the appearance of lines and wrinkles while triggering uneven skin tone and damaging the lipid layer of the skin. This one-a-day capsule, suitable for all skin types, helps protect skin from the impact of blue light by up to 60%, shielding against premature ageing, helping target the appearance of discolouration and uneven skin tone while increasing skin luminosity and elasticity, €58 (60 capsules) available from Advanced Nutrition Programme stockists nationwide and online from www.millies.ie
