How Gadgets Damage Your Skin – and What to Do About It

We spend 4-7 hours a day on our phones without even thinking about how it affects our skin. Meanwhile, constant contact with screens and the habit of scrolling through social media before bed can lead to premature aging, dull complexion, and even inflammation.

3 Main Skin Problems Caused by Gadgets

1. “Digital Aging”: Wrinkles and Loss of Firmness

When we look at a screen, the facial muscles tense up in a static position, which provokes:

• Horizontal wrinkles on the forehead (from constant squinting)

• Drooping corners of the mouth (from the habit of holding the phone under the chin for long periods)

• Double chin (due to tilting the head down)

Solution:

• Keep your phone at eye level

• Do facial exercises every 30 minutes

• Sign up for a microcurrent or massage course

2. Blue Light (HEV Radiation) – An Invisible Enemy

Screens emit blue light, which:

• Destroys collagen and elastin

• Increases pigmentation

• Causes dryness and irritation

Solution:

• Turn on “night mode” on your phone

• Use creams with antioxidants (vitamin C, niacinamide)

• Have anti-stress treatments once a month (alginates masks, LED therapy)

3. “Phone Acne” and Bacteria

There are ten times more bacteria on a smartphone than on a toilet seat. Pressing it against our cheek provokes:

• Inflammation in the cheekbone and chin areas

• Clogged pores

• Allergic reactions

Solution:

• Wipe your phone with antibacterial wipes twice a day

• Use a headset for calls

• Add salicylic acid to your skincare routine

• Consult a cosmetologist
