Selfies Can Age The Skin, Cause Wrinkles – Dermatologists Warn.
For all those who can’t do without taking selfies, dermatologists now believe that regularly exposing the face to the light and electromagnetic radiation from smartphones can damage the skin, speeding up ageing and promoting wrinkles.
Doctors even claim they can tell which hand a person holds their phone in just by looking at which side of the face is most damaged. The Medical Director of the Linia Skin, Dr Simon Zoakei, disclosed this in preparation of the FACE, Facial Aesthetic Conference and Exhibition, in London.
According to Dr. Zoakei,
Renowned dermatologist Dr Zein Obagi, who founded the Obagi Skin health Institute in Beverley Hills, added:
Dr Obagi added that one cannot hydrate the skin from the outside but have to stimulate the skin to bring back hydration from within.
Some experts believe that electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones ages skin by damaging the DNA. It can cause breaks in the DNA strand which can prevent skin repairing itself and place oxidative stress on cells. They also argued that most over-the-counter moisturizers and oils do not work and may make skin worse, and that ‘a good scrub’ is the best way to keep skin healthy.

“I think there is a gap in the market for products which protect because I know there are people who take lots of selfies, and bloggers who come to me and I have seen that there is damage here and there, ageing taking place. It’s a different wavelength.
