Taking Selfies Can Cause Major Skin Damage

No one saw this coming. Sorry to break it to you selfie-lovers out there, but it turns out that the light from your phone can wreak havoc on your skin.

Who remembers this iconic Oscar Selfie? I think we can all agree on this: Getting that perfect photo takes more than just one snap, even extreme selfie-lovers can go up to 100 snaps a day! According to beauty experts, this global selfie phenomenon could actually be speeding up the aging process and can be as bad for skin as sunbathing and smoking. 

London cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Simon Zokaie found that the High Energy Visible light (HEV) produced by computers and phones can cause wrinkles, dark spots, bigger pores and new freckles on our skin! Yikes! HEV rays cause heat and inflammation under the skin, slowing down the skin’s ability to heal and protect itself.

And since ceasing all selfies is probably completely unrealistic (and neither is giving up your electronics), there are 2 ways to safeguard your skin: Sunscreen and an anti-aging serum! 

First, think about how you take selfies. Often you’re standing outside and intentionally trying to position your face in the light so it has that natural glow to it. The phone picks up the light and reflects the UV rays off to your face, magnifying the damaging effects of the sun on your skin.

Unlike any other traditional sunscreens, UltraShield offers comprehensive protection against sun and environmental damage such as UVB, UVA, Visible light, infrared and environment factors.

    So while one selfie every so often might not be too detrimental to your skin, taking a lot of selfies could potentially hurt it! But before you throw your phone away, start protecting your skin today with UltraShield™and UltraPeptide™ !
