4 Ways Your Phone is Ruining Your Skin
By Krystyna Chavez
We've become so dependent of our phones sometimes we forget the daily side effects that come with being permanently attached. Take a look at what cell phones really do to our skin and how we can avoid some of these nasty little issues.
Text Neck
Admit it, whether you're walking, sitting, or laying down you're usually staring down at your phone. According to cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, constantly looking down causes the collagen in your neck to break down, leaving that turkey-looking neck. To avoid, hold your phone at eye level and change up your beauty routine. Add collagen building products such as Lifeline Stem Cell Skin Care Defensive DAY Moisture Serum SPF 15 and Lifeline Stem Cell Skin Care Recovery NIGHT Moisture Serum.

Try to avoid them by using a bluetooth device and applying a dark correcting serum such as this one by Yes to Grapefruit.
