Spending too much time in front of the screen not only affects your eyes, but it can also cause serious skin issues. In this era of technology, it is hard to imagine doing any task which doesn't include a smartphone or a computer. But little did you all know about how harmful the blue light emitted by computers, smartphones, tablets, televisions, and other electronics is for your eyes. It's been more than 12 months since that pandemic forced everyone to work from home and thus increased the screen time for everyone. From casual meetings to attending friends' weeding, everything is now online, and we all know it can have multiple undesirable effects on the eye.
One of the most common effects of overscreen time is dark circles. These are formed mostly due to the reflection of the dark maroon underlying orbicularis oculi, a circular muscle around our eye. This dark pigmentation gives your eyes an exhausted look which makes an individual look sick or sleep-deprived. The skin around the eye is the thinnest of all and gets affected by over-screen time. The artificial light from the screen of your electronic devices causes a lot of drying, as it steals the moisture from the skin and also causes a breakdown of collagen.
As discussed above, the under-eye skin of your face gets badly affected by the 'too much' screen time that everyone is spending these days. Worried? Don't be, we have some tips for you. Check them out here:
Try to follow a proper skincare routine, and do not forget to use a moisturizer rich in vitamins especially C,E, and K. Take an adequate amount of the moisturizer and massage it gently clockwise and anticlockwise gentle circular movements.
Make sure to apply a good under-eye cream for at least 40 minutes before going to bed.
Yes, you read that right. Never throw away green tea bags after having the tea. Instead, you can apply them to your tired under-eye skin. Green tea bags are great to shrink the blood vessels around the under-eyes that eventually lessen dark circles.
Sleeping on time and for a minimum of 7-8 hours is very important for your overall health. And especially when it comes to your eye care. Catching up on sleep can help reduce the appearance of dark circles.
Don't use your digital devices throughout the day. Digital detox is not only important for your mental health but also for your skin.
Never watch TV or use your phone from a short distance. Experts suggest it is important to keep your eyes an arm's distance away from the screen.
