But after becoming concerned about HEV light emitted by her phone and the damage it may do to the skin, she decided to have her face analysed for signs of premature ageing.

HEV light, or High Energy Visible light is the blue light emitted by devices such as phones, laptops and tablets and studies have suggested it's just as harmful to skin as UVA and UVB light.

Recent scientific evidence has suggested that High Energy Visible light is causing harm to the skin, leading to accelerated skin ageing.

When Baig started noticing larger pores and dark circles under her eyes, she enlisted the help of dermatologist Dr. Simon Zokaie to find out if her phone was the culprit.

Dr. Zokaie explained the three primary factors that age skin are pollution, sun damage and HEV light damage. These three things cause our skin to become overheated and inflamed, resulting in an overproduction of the free radicals that ultimately cause damage.

A lot of the damage caused by HEV light is undetectable to the human eye, since this type of light permeates your skin more deeply than regular sunlight.

And, unfortunately, sunscreen does not block HEV light.

So, what’s a beauty blogger — or anyone who sits in front of a computer all day — to do? Dr. Zokaie says we can all start by wearing an antioxidant serum during the day to prevent further damage. At night, lay your antioxidant gels and creams on thick.

While most of us can’t take a big break from our screens due to our jobs or social lives, investing in your skincare routine can go a long way in maintaining your beautiful face.
