Are Zoom Meetings Damaging Your Skin?
Raise your hand if you’ve been in more Zoom meetings than face to face meetings recently. Hey, we get it. It’s the new norm. The modern world. But boy is it hurting our skincare! Whether it's back-to-back Zoom meetings, endless Slack pings, or the not-so-occasional “quick call,” we’re living in a world of screen time overload and your skin knows it. Dullness. Puffiness. Breakouts. Eye bags that could qualify for flight carry-on. This my friend is what we at Matter of Monday like to call Zoom fatigue skin, the modern complexion crisis no one asked for. But here’s the good news: this isn’t permanent yet! Your skin can bounce back from this. With the right formulas - like Matter of Monday’s Anti-Blue Light Brightening Serum and Anti-Fatigue Restorative Eye Cream, you can fight the signs of screen burnout and get that glow back. And yes, there’s real science behind it. What Is Zoom Fatigue Doing to Your Skin, Anyway? When we talk about “Zoom Fatigue Skin,” we’re really talking about the exhausting toll digital life takes on your face: Blue light (a.k.a. HEV light) from screens penetrates deeper than UVB rays and triggers oxidative stress, leading to premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and inflammation. Staring at screens for hours reduces blink rate and circulation around the eyes, increasing puffiness and dark circles. Stress from digital fatigue triggers cortisol spikes that mess with your skin barrier, increasing sensitivity, breakouts, and dryness. In short: the longer your face is lit by LED, the harder it works to keep up. Quick Tips: 1. Lower your screen brightness and use night mode or blue light filters whenever possible. 2. Take a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away (yes, that’s a real thing. It’s called the 20-20-20 rule). 3. Hydrate like it’s your job. Your skin loves water more than your Wi-Fi loves buffering. 4. Sleep. No serum can replace 7+ hours of rest. Simple! Solution #1: Anti-Blue Light Brightening Serum This serum is like noise-cancelling headphones for your skin. It blocks out the harmful effects of blue light and reinforces your natural barrier, thanks to ingredients backed by actual clinical data. Key Ingredients: Microalgae Extract: Rich in antioxidants, this high-tech ingredient neutralizes blue light–induced free radicals before they can wreak havoc. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Hugley on trend right now. You’ve probably already heard about it. Known for improving skin tone, strengthening the skin barrier, and calming inflammation basically, the MVP of modern skincare. Licorice Root Extract: Brightens and fades hyperpigmentation, so your skin looks energized even if your brain isn’t. How to Use: Apply in the morning before moisturizer and again post-Zoom marathons if your skin’s feeling fried. It layers beautifully under makeup and instantly boosts luminosity. Think: dewy filter IRL. Solution #2: Anti-Fatigue Restorative Eye Cream Because your eyes shouldn’t look as exhausted as you schedule. Whether it’s 6 hours of video calls or just one way too honest selfie, your under-eye area needs serious support. This eye cream is formulated to combat digital fatigue, fast. Key Ingredients: Peptides (Matrixyl 3000®): Clinically proven to stimulate collagen production and reduce fine lines. Yes, it works. Caffeine: De-puffs and energizes tired eyes by boosting circulation. Centella Asiatica (Cica): A K-beauty favorite known to calm irritation and fortify fragile skin. Real Talk: This cream is like a good night sleep in a tube. In fact, scrap that - it’s like sleeping on a cloud - in a tube. Use it morning and night for refreshed, lifted, camera-ready eyes - even after a 14-hour Slack spiral. Zoom Face, No More. Zoom fatigue is real, but your skin doesn’t have to show it. With smart, science-backed formulas like Matter of Monday’s Anti-Blue Light Brightening Serum and Anti-Fatigue Restorative Eye Cream, you can protect, restore, and glow—no camera filters needed.

Tired Skincare? Discover How Rice Bran Revives Dull, Dry Skin
Had days when your skin just looked “meh” rather than “glow”? Hey, we all have them. But, it might be time to call in a new ingredient - a new savior to the skincare battle - and no, it's not another buzzy acid or mystery oil from the deep depths of the Amazon. It's actually something surprisingly down-to-earth and simple: Rice Bran. And guess what? This plant-based powerhouse is about to become your dry skin’s new BFF. Whether you’re dealing with post-winter dullness, dehydration, or just that general “my skin looks as tired as I feel” vibes, rice bran is going to change that. It’s natural, powerful and, most importantly, it works. First, What Actually Is Rice Bran? Time to don our science hats for a second. Rice bran is derived from the outer layer of the rice grain — which is often overlooked, but boy is it packed with nutrients. Think amino acids, peptides, antioxidants, and vitamins like B and E. In short: a full buffet of skin-loving goodness, minus the irritation that can sometimes come with those stronger actives. But what’s the big deal? Well, it’s not just a protector of the skin. Oh no, it doesn’t just sit on your skin looking pretty, thinking “job done”. It gets to work, first with restoring and then with defending. So, it’s a big deal with tired skin. We’d be lying if we said we hadn’t been giving “tired skin” vibes at some point, right? It happens to the best of us! And as much as a strong triple-shot latte can boost the mindset, the skin needs something more. With rice bran, it’s amino acids help stimulate collagen production. This basically means firmer skin that looks brighter and much more awake. Not only that, it then focuses on repairing the skin cells. So, finally all that pollution, blue light and hormonal drama has a fight on it’s hands. How Rice Bran Helps Dry Skin If you thought dry skin was just about lacking moisturizer then, well yes, you’re partly right, but it also means the skin’s barrier has been compromised. A big no no! This means, adding moisture won’t resolve the dry skin issue alone, it needs a quality to seal it in. Rice bran has rich emollient properties that do just that. Without that sealing effect, all your hyaluronic acids and fancy serums struggle to maximize their results. Rich Bran = Heaps of Antioxidants Rice bran isn’t just here to hydrate — it’s bringing the whole skincare entourage. Packed with antioxidants like ferulic acid and those show-offy vitamin E cousins (a.k.a. tocopherols). Again, it’s all about shielding your skin. This is what’s needed for results. Protecting, soothing, brightening, and softening — all at once. Ok, where can I find it? Funny you should ask! Rice bran features in a number of our products, including our popular Anti-Blue Light Brightening Serum and our Anti-Fatigue Restorative Eye Cream So, let’s make skincare simple. No more ten-step routines or funny-named ingredients from the hidden amazon. It’s stress-free skincare with Matter of Monday.

Premature Aging: Is Modern Life Accelerating Your Aging Process?
Some changes to our skin feel expected. Others sneak up earlier than we thought. A fine line here, a little dullness there, and suddenly you're wondering, Isn’t it too soon for this? If you’ve noticed your skin looking more tired lately—even with a solid routine—you’re not imagining it. The reality is, modern life can be pretty brutal on your skin, and it’s increasingly linked to premature aging. Three of the biggest factors? Chronic stress, constant screen exposure, and daily fatigue. We can’t always remove the stress or ditch our devices. And slowing down isn’t always an option. But we can give our skin the support it needs to recover and thrive—with smarter habits, science-backed ingredients, and routines that fit into real life. What Premature Aging Really Looks Like Let’s start here. “Premature aging” isn’t about chasing youth or avoiding every wrinkle. It’s about how our skin responds to what we’re exposed to—especially in our 20s and 30s, when it should still be resilient and radiant. Some common signs that tend to show up earlier than expected: A lack of glow that’s hard to bring back Fine lines around the eyes or mouth Uneven skin tone or rougher texture A feeling of thinness or dryness, even with moisturizers These shifts don’t mean something is wrong. But they can be clues that our skin is under more pressure than it can easily recover from. And that pressure isn’t just environmental—it often comes from the pace we move through each day. How Blue Light from Screens Uniquely Impacts Your Skin We’re all familiar with UV rays. But blue light—the high-energy visible light emitted by phones, laptops, tablets, and even LED bulbs—is just as relevant to skin health, though far less talked about. Unlike UVB, blue light doesn’t burn your skin. But it penetrates deeper, reaching the dermis where collagen and elastin are produced. Over time, that deep reach can create real challenges: Increased oxidative stress Pigmentation and discoloration Disruption to skin’s natural repair rhythms Collagen breakdown that contributes to fine lines Most of us are exposed to blue light for hours every day, often without thinking twice. That doesn’t mean you need to avoid screens completely—life doesn’t work that way. But it does mean your skin needs a little extra support to stay balanced and protected. What We Recommend: Anti-Blue Light Brightening Serum – Helps shield skin from screen-induced oxidative stress and supports radiance Anti-Stress Renewal Moisturizer – Rebuilds and strengthens the skin barrier after daily digital exposure The Behind-the-Scenes Effects of Stress on Skin Stress isn’t just something we feel—it triggers a physical response in the body that shows up on the skin, too. When we’re under pressure, the body produces more of the hormone cortisol, which plays a major role in how the skin ages. When cortisol stays elevated over time, it can: Slow down healthy skin cell turnover Dehydrate the moisture barrier Trigger sensitivity, redness, and irritation Break down collagen and elastin You might notice a dull cast to the skin, or a general lack of bounce or clarity. These are common signs that the skin is trying to keep up, but needs more support. It’s not about eliminating stress completely (wouldn’t that be nice?). It’s about helping your skin stay steady in the face of it. What We Recommend: The Monday Bundle – A complete routine designed for skin that’s balancing daily stress and digital exposure Why Fatigue Shows Up on Your Face First We tend to think of tiredness as something we feel. But often, it’s visible—especially on your face. Long hours, back-to-back meetings, poor sleep, and general mental exhaustion all contribute to how your skin looks and functions. And the under-eye area is one of the first places to show it. That’s because the skin there is especially delicate—thinner, with fewer oil glands and less natural padding. It’s more prone to: Puffiness from poor circulation Discoloration and dark circles Fine lines and creasing Loss of firmness and hydration Even if you’re technically “rested,” fatigue from overstimulation and daily pressure can still wear on your skin. That’s where targeted support really helps. What We Recommend: Anti-Fatigue Restorative Eye Cream – Helps reduce puffiness, brighten dark circles, and refresh tired-looking skin with a blend of caffeine, peptides, and calming botanicals. Small Habits That Make a Difference Sometimes the most effective skincare tweaks aren’t about adding more. They’re about doing small things a little differently. Here are a few daily habits that have a sneaky way of accelerating aging when repeated over time: Skipping screen breaks: Increases oxidative stress and overstimulates the nervous system Falling asleep with devices on: Blue light disrupts melatonin and nighttime skin repair Dry environments: Heating, A/C, or office air can zap moisture from your skin Not drinking enough water: Dehydration deepens fine lines and dulls the complexion Forgetting to reapply moisturizer: Your barrier needs reinforcement throughout the day These aren’t judgment calls. They’re gentle nudges. Tiny adjustments—like stepping away from the screen for five minutes every hour or drinking an extra glass of water—can truly make a difference. Seek Out Ingredients That Help Skin Stay Resilient At Matter of Monday, every ingredient in our formulas has a purpose. Instead of overwhelming your routine, we focus on smart, minimal skincare that addresses the real challenges modern skin faces. Here are four standout ingredients when it comes to protecting your skin from stress, screens, and fatigue: Pepha®-Age (Micro-Algae)Shields the skin from the effects of blue light, helping to prevent dullness and pigmentation caused by screen exposure. Matrixyl 3000®A peptide complex that stimulates collagen production and smooths the appearance of fine lines and early wrinkles. Sodium HyaluronateA smaller form of hyaluronic acid that binds deep moisture into the skin—perfect for recovering from long days and dry environments. Chamomile ExtractA calming botanical that helps reduce redness and irritation from stress or overstimulation. These ingredients work in tandem to support skin’s natural resilience—not overnight miracles, but steady, visible results that add up. Stay Ahead of the Aging Curve Skin changes don’t always come with a warning. One week everything looks fine, and the next, you’re noticing dark circles, dryness, or that lingering “tired” look—even after a good night’s sleep. If that sounds familiar, here’s your reminder: you don’t need to chase perfection or commit to a 12-step routine. You just need something that fits your day—and supports your skin in the process. Matter of Monday is here for that. Our formulas are designed to fight back against stress, screen exposure, and fatigue—without slowing you down. Explore the collection created for professionals who live in the fast lane and want their skin to keep up.
