Is my phone ageing my face?
YeS, according to facialist and aromatherapist Annee de Mamiel.
‘Phones emit heV (high-energy visible) light which penetrates more deeply than UVA and UVB light without causing immediate reaction, making it potentially more harmful as we are unaware of the damage it causes,’ she explains. ‘heV light can increase dryness and sensitivity, inflammation and redness, leading to wrinkles and skin sagging.’ Sun protection can shield your skin from heV light, but you can also counteract the damage by using an antioxidant- rich facial mist, such as Digital Detox (£42, amly
