Selfies seem like a harmless way to express your beauty. However, there might be a hidden danger to the trend.
According to Refinery 29, "The blue light our screens emit — known as High Energy Visible light (HEV) — can cause damage, along with UVA and UVB rays." That means that your selfies might be aging your skin prematurely.
That's not something you can fix with sunscreen or by holding your phone farther away. Your best bet is to try buying an antioxidant serum or cream. Of course, you could also try taking fewer selfies.
Do you take selfies every single day?

Maya: You would need to do research to prove this not just read an article
Jen: This is misleading because the light isn't emitted only when one takes a selfie, it is constantly emitted and therefore phone use in general has negative effects on the skin.
Jaci: There's always going to be the good and the bad in something.
Splashhhh: Wth!!! Of course evrything had its pros and cons but its not a big deal at least not for me just like evrything else u have to know ur limit
peony: Never taken a selfie
Maya: But hell i wouldn't be surprised if it was true
Crystal: Wow I literally had no idea!
Lucy: You don't hold your phone any closer to your face when taking selfies than you do normally...so phone use in general is actually the problem.
