Cell phone light ages skin!

-

BLUE light emitted from digital devices, such as smartphone­s, tablets and computers, may be adding years to your face, experts warn. Pennsylvan­ia plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Bloom says at least one study has suggested the shortwavel­ength light “can lead to DNA damage and breakdown of our collagen and elastin fibers” in skin.

And in 2015, researcher­s in Germany found blue light may boost the production of free radicals, which have been linked to an accelerate­d appearance of aging.
