How your phone screws to the top of your skin

THE HABIT

Squinting to read the small print on your screen

How it is screwing you "I have a boost of 20somethings come with legs of goose and 11 lines - vertical furrows between the fronts - which normally do not show up to your 30 years or 40 years," says NYC derm Dendy Engelman, MD.

QUICK FIX Increase the size of the police's "Grandmother" (20 points or larger) and to the top of your screen brightness. If the Botox seems extreme, try a moisturizing cream with argireline (as of DDF, right), which 'freezes' temporarily muscle movements. "Some studies appear a reduction of 60 percent in the depth of wrinkles in one month," said Dr. Engelman.

THE HABIT

You talk long enough that your phone to get hot while chatting.

How it is screwing you "Prolonged exposure to heat from any source can increase the production of melanin in this area," says Dr. Engelman. If brown spots and uneven skin tone are not bad enough, it is this: research shows that they can make you viewing until 10 years older.

QUICK FIX A headset (or speakerphone) is your best bet. A lightening cream (look for ingredients such as licorice, as in this CC cream and vitamin C) may fade unwanted spots.

How it is screwing you Artificial light from your smartphone messes with your body's ability to produce melatonin, the chemical responsible for make you sleepy, research notes by Harvard Medical School. "The large amount of blue light of the spectrum emitted by these devices, especially when close our eyes, can disturb the natural sleep cycle," said David N. Neubauer, MD, associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Sleep Disorders Center. Not good for beauty sleep.

QUICK FIX If you have problems closing before bedtime, Dr. Neubauer suggest decrease you the intensity of the light of your phone, or make use of the colours invert function (it becomes your black screen and white font) - both reduce the brightness and the amount of blue light. Covers screen blue-blackout (find them at LowBlueLights.com) have also help.

Pressing your face against your phone (telltale sign: sheets of oil or makeup on your screen)

How it is screwing you The touchscreen trend has caused an increase in acne in the phone box: temples, cheeks and Chin. "Dirt and bacteria that live on your screen are transferred on your skin when you talk on the phone, which may cause an infection," said NYC derm Doris Day, MD.

QUICK FIXUse headphones and clean your phone daily with an antibacterial wipe, advises NYC derm Neal Schultz, MD. (We like GoSwype, $2.) Try peroxide benzoyl lotion (such as Proactiv +, left) or acid glycolic facial pads to keep the pores clear.

How it is screwing you It is called neck text - a slack, untoned neck and jaw caused by a rupture of collagen and elastin. "These tiny fibers have only a finite number of times they can bend," said Dr. Engelman. "The constant to-and-fro movement weakens this support structure."

QUICK FIX Hold your phone at eye level to minimize bending and apply a firming cream, rich in peptide on your chin and neck twice a day. Those who have high levels of Matrixyl - aka Pal-KTTKS-(like the one on the left) can almost double the production of collagen, according to a study in molecular pharmacy.
