As writes Byrdie specialized site, is a relatively recent phenomenon, yet we can not even know half the damage it may be doing to our skin

Scientists have now new concerns: understand if the blue light is or is not a threat in terms of aging, or the habit of being with the phone in the face before going to sleep in will affect the long-term . A study by the Vision Council with more than 100,000 people in the US found that about 70% of young people up to 35 years suffer from the so-called digital eye disorder , whose symptoms may include eye irritation, pain head, tired eyes, dark circles, back pain and neck

Lady Gaga sang on the “Poker Face” but, apparently, the problem now is even the “phone Face”, name created to describe patients who began to emerge with a kind of dermatitis created by the time they spend with the phone pressed to face while talking. Dermatologists have created this term to explain this type of acne that appears only one side of the face . If we think that our phone goes tumbling into the suitcase, which landed on either side as the bank bus or the table in the restaurant, and that even when they do not we let go of the precious machine, spent the day to messages and to roll by Instagram with your fingers, came to the same conclusion: bacteria. When we talk on the phone and we stick to the face, we have a flood of bacteria to pass into the skin.

What to do? Have with antibacterial wipes to sanitize the phone is a good option but perhaps impractical. Or, if you do in public, it may seem too paranoid. But daily clean the phone at home the day end with their own products will already help. And use more often the old man kit hands free, that is, headset with microphone.

Can not anyone escape this fashion when even there is already make-up that makes our skin stay with better appearance in a photograph. But ironically, the act of taking a selfie age. Off dramas, the Byrdie site explains: screens on our phones, tablets , computers and even television emit blue light, known for HEV, which has a wavelength similar to UV rays . This means that, although no proven studies, this exposure can eventually result in some of the same effects. – Pigmentation and dark spots on the skin, in addition to accelerated collagen degradation

Some brands have begun to think this epidemic of technologies. Speaking to British magazine Look, Dimitri James, founder of Skinn cosmetics brand, says the light HEV penetrates deeper than UV rays, accelerating aging, spots, loss of volume and wrinkles.

what to do? you can use a blue light filter on your computer screen, reduce the maximum light from your phone, use physical sunscreens (rather than merely chemical) because they last longer in skin cosmetics containing blue light blockers. The key ingredient is called Liposhield HEV melanin and still exists in a few brands: Soap & amp; Glory, Nassif and Skinn are three examples, but are not for sale in Portugal.

Experts warn the gesture to constantly look down that puts about five times more power in the normal gravitation our skin, neck and spine . The stance has even won a name – “Technology neck” – and repetitive behaviors effects will be visible: sagging and called “jowl” in the neck in increasingly younger women

what to do? Decrease the time spent with his head down looking at the phone would be a good idea, but firming creams and toning with proven ingredients collagen building already help : Rhamnose, Retinol and Vitamin C are some examples. At the time of application of cream necessarily have to stretch it to the neck, massaging with gentle upward movements to fight gravity.

How often is in bed, to sleep with the phone on your face to jump the Instagram to Facebook and Snapchat? In addition to aging, experts believe that the HEV light emitted by the screens can affect the way our body produces melatonin, the hormone responsible for controlling our sleep rhythm. What happens is that the more time passes with the connected phone (waiting for the Sandman come), later go to sleep and less sleep will have, which helps sleeps less and less restorative. As the essential sleep for healthy skin, perhaps the reason for dark circles, puffiness, dry skin and more visible lines is the time you spend to jump social networking on social network in bed .

what to do? you can connect the night filters on your phone (such as inverted colors in the iPhone settings) to at least block some of the blue light falling on the skin every night. And replace social networks for a book, for example, is already a first step. You can also use night facial products work as repairmen skin during sleep, like Sleeping Mask Shiseido.

Sunglasses serve precisely to protect us from UV rays, and especially to avoid constantly being to close the eyes on the street. But the brightness of the screens too small and the lyrics make us do the same. Only this time, not only on the street but throughout the day and even at night in bed. This repetitive habit leads directly to more pronounced crow’s feet and wrinkles around the eyes . Also, when we are sitting at the computer have the blink of habit eyes less often, which leads to dryness, headaches, itching and a greater tendency to rub your eyes. – Hello dark circles

what to do? Dim the screen at night and increase the font size is an option. But using an eye cream is also important to keep your skin hydrated and slow down the wrinkles around the eyes. Use daily products refresh, hydrate and revitalize the eye area, as Pep Start Clinique.
