1. Wrinkles 

Did you know there is something referred to as “techneck”? Well apparently there is, and it’s the position you hold your head and neck when you are starring down at a computer or a phone. Consistently doing this can cause wrinkles to form underneath your chin and around your neck. Squinting to see the text on the screen can also cause crow’s feet in the eye area. If you aren’t interested in completely putting the phone down, try using anti-aging creams and focusing them around the eyes and neck. Algenist Firming and Lifting Neck Cream is a great option.

2. Allergies Ever notice you have a rash forming on your face after a long conversation with your bestie? Recent studies suggest that the nickel and chromium on the casings of a lot of cellular devices can cause skin allergies called contact dermatitis. As a solution, try a screen protector and a case, and if that just isn’t cutting it, use a hands-free headset.3. AcneDid you know that most cell phones have more germs and bacteria than a toilet seat handle? Sounds disgusting right? All of the sweat, makeup and oils that stay on the surface of your phone eventually just accumulate, and may be the culprit/reason for those pimples right along your cheekbone. Try cleaning off your phone daily. Use a cotton swab and some rubbing alcohol. That should do the trick!
