Is your phone giving you wrinkles?

-

EVERY time you look at your phone or computer, your face is exposed to the damaging effects of blue light, which is emitted from the screens. This, combined with the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays, can accelerate skin damage.

Research suggests that blue light may even penetrate deeper into skin than UVB rays, contributi­ng to wrinkles, sagging and hyperpigme­ntation. Dr Stefanie Williams, a dermatolog­ist, says: ‘I recommend applying a broad-spectrum SPF and topical antioxidan­ts every day, in order to help protect skin.’

Try the bareMinera­ls Complexion Rescue Defense SPF 30 moisturise­r (right, £35, bareminera­ls.co.uk), which protects against blue light, sun and pollution.
