We need to spend hours every day in front of the computer for work and other purposes .From snaps and selfies to sitting at a computer all day and peering into our phones at night, it’s safe to say that we’re exposing ourselves to a lot more screen time than previous generations. It’s also safe to say that we don’t yet know even half the damage that all of this may, or may not, be doing to be our skin.
Although , scientists are delving into the issue as we speak, furiously trying to deduce whether blue light really is an aging threat and how new tech-specific habits (such as the text-reading hunch or the late-night Facebook squint) are going to affect us long term. But while solid studies are still low in numbers—the social media revolution is still a relatively new phenomenon, after all—the general vibe of results being revealed are already a cause for (mild-ish) concern.
Now this can take a serious toll on skin. Continuous staring at the computer skin can seriously affect and damage the skin as it radiates some harmful rays.
Use an SPF cream indoor as well
The blue light emitted from the screen is as harmful as the UV rays emitted from the sun. Therefore you should use a moisturizer with an SPF while sitting and working in front of the screen for a longer period. Don’t forget to apply it every hour on your face.
Wash your face regularly at home
Along with taking frequent breaks from the screen, you should also wash your face regularly. Particles of radicles settle on the face as you sit in front of your screen for a longer period. This will also make you feel refreshed and energetic. It is also advised to keep the screen 18 inches away from the body.
Use an undereye gel
In order to prevent wrinkles around your eyes, you should apply an under-eye gel. Since every time you look at the screen you have tonarrow your eyes and this can lead to wrinkles around it. Therefore applying gel or cream at the under-eyes will prevent you from any such thing and also prevent your eyes from being watery.
Drink atleast 2 litres of water
The heat from your computer causes skin dryness. This can be reduced if you drink a lot of water every day. You can also use a face moisturiser to keep your skin nourished.
