These Six Ways Show How Smartphone Is Aging Our Skin

Although smartphones make daily life easier, excessive use can endanger the health of the body and most importantly the appearance of a person.

According to skincare experts, using mobile phones is wreaking havoc with our faces, causing all sorts of ailments from sagging jaws and forehead creases to tired eyes and tech neck.

What Is Blue Light?


Blue light is not like sunlight, it does not make a person face skin cancer. But this blue light increases the production of pigment on exposed skin. Excessive exposure to a smartphone or any electronic device can lead to an increase in pigment disorders such as hyperpigmentation.

In addition to hyperpigmentation, blue light can also cause dark spots, fine lines, inflammation, thin skin, and wrinkles.

Avoid Tech Neck Positions

To see the first signs of aging, you can see the skin on the neck and under the chin. Being in this position will make a person’s skin become wrinkled and folded naturally so that it becomes sagging. To avoid this, you need to use a smartphone with the neck in a neutral position parallel to the floor.

Avoid Direct Heat Exposure


When talking on a smartphone for a long time, your hot exposed skin will make melanin production increase. At the same time, your skin will produce uneven spots and skin color. As a solution, use headphones to prevent your skin from getting too hot on a smartphone.

Eyes Become Tired And Squint Lines Arise


When the eyes become dazzled by the light of the smartphone, or use it in the sun, your eyes will start to wrinkle to try to focus to look at the smartphone. When the eyes start to wrinkle, you will be able to clearly see the lines and wrinkles of the skin around the eyes. To avoid this, you are encouraged to take a break from using a mobile phone.

Causes Acne


If you do not know, acne can also occur due to smartphones. Smartphones are the largest gathering place for bacteria. This acne occurs when you put the phone on the skin to make a call. From here the bacteria will move to the skin and clog the pores.

Not only does it transmit bacteria, but smartphones also make the oil on your face trapped in the skin. So, before using a mobile phone, you need to wipe the screen with alcohol tissue every day.

Causes Blackheads to Arise


A smartphone that emits blue light, travels in the same waves as UV rays. So it is not impossible for you to get the same effect as UV radiation. The formation of blackheads can occur as a result of light emitted by excessive cell phones.

That is why you need to use sunscreen throughout the day, as it can protect the skin from blue light, just like UV rays. To prevent skin from aging before age, avoid excessive use of cell phones as it can affect melatonin production and affect hormones that disrupt the sleep cycle.
