Key Takeaways
Combat massive blue light radiation, headset friction acne, and indoor pallor with Base Layer.
Grinding the ladder for 14 hours a day in a dark room is terrible for your face. The excessive blue light radiation from dual monitors ages your skin prematurely, while the constant friction from your high-end headset causes painful, deep cystic acne along your jawline and temples. Look elite on the player cam.
1. Reset (T-Zone Clarify)

3. Protect (Blue Light Firewall)
Layer a specialized, completely matte moisturizer loaded with antioxidants that acts as a physical firewall against 4K monitor radiation and prevents webcam shine.
