Maybe you\u2019re waiting for the train to arrive and trying to pass time, or you\u2019re at work waiting for a meeting to get started and you don\u2019t feel like making small talk, or maybe you\u2019re sitting on the toilet and trying to keep your mind off, well, other \u201cthings\u201d happening at the moment. \u00a0For these situations, having a mobile computer at the tip of your fingers is glorious. However, did you ever think of what all the time spent on your phone could be doing to your skin? Your answer is probably no.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most of us are already aware of the damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the skin and that\u2019s why we are encouraged to apply sunscreen before going outside in the sun! \u00a0However, recent studies show that prolonged exposure to the light given off by our mobile phones may also cause skin damage. HEV (high-energy visible light), otherwise referred to as \u201cblue light\u201d is the light emitted by our cell phones. \u00a0Blue light may accelerate signs of aging and increase the appearance of wrinkles that we have traditionally associated with too much sun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/fashion\/2017\/jun\/01\/lights-off-is-the-glare-from-your-computer-really-ageing-your-skin\">exposure<\/a>.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Unfortunately, blue light is also emitted from our laptops and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elle.com\/beauty\/makeup-skin-care\/news\/a40132\/blue-hev-light-skin-aging\/\">tablets<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a study of nine people, published in the journal Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, researchers found that the carotenoids in people\u2019s skin decreased with exposure to high-energy light. \u00a0Carotenoids help give your skin its color, and a lack of them can cause age spots and discoloration. The study concluded that the light from your phone can cause pigmentation, which makes our skin appear older than we actually are.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Premature aging isn\u2019t the only problem associated with exposure to blue light. Other research shows that blue light emitted by our cell phones can even suppress production of the sleep-regulating hormone melatonin, promoting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drweil.com\/health-wellness\/balanced-living\/technology\/do-smart-phones-cause-insomnia\/\">insomnia<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cosmetics to the Rescue!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not to worry, cosmetic companies have already released products aimed at fixing this dilemma. \u00a0Beauty brands are acknowledging the potentially damaging effects of blue light on our skin and have begun marketing products that are designed to block blue light. \u00a0One option is SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF. It\u2019s a broad-spectrum anti-oxidant face serum that delivers advanced environmental protection and claims to diminish the appearance of fine lines and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinceuticals.com\/phloretin-cf-635494328004.html?cgid=search-compare#q=Phloretin&amp;start=1&amp;cgid=search-compare\">discoloration<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Not surprisingly, this product does have a high price tag. \u00a0\u201cUV Expert\u201d is the name of another skincare product from Lanc\u00f4me. Rather than just being another hybrid makeup-sunscreen product, this innovative new cosmetic is formulated to provide protection from both the sun&#8217;s UVA and UVB rays, as well as the blue light that&#8217;s emitted by smartphones, laptops, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendhunter.com\/trends\/uv-expert\">tablets<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Just Put the Phone DOWN!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While cellphone use is sometimes unavoidable, for those times when you\u2019re just using your phone as a pastime and have difficulty placing it aside, now you can assure yourself that it would be better to have more youthful looking skin rather than continue messing around on your phone. \u00a0Get outside, and connect with your friends (and of course, wear sunscreen!). The weather is getting nicer and there are plenty of opportunities to hang out with your friends in NYC, in a <a href=\"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/events\/\">healthy setting<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your Phone Could be Aging You Are you reading this on your cell phone? \u00a0Your answer is probably yes.
