Abstract
Knowledge about environmental factors that are aggressive to skin has increased in recent years. Although concern previously focused primarily on UVA and UVB, this has broadened to contain damage from pollution, tobacco smoke, other ambient toxins, infrared light, blue light and UVA-II.
This article reviews the negative effects of infrared, blue light and UVA-II on skin. Potential protective actions also are discussed.
