Acne

Do you have acne?

You're probably reading this article on your smartphone, blissfully unaware of just how dirty your phone really is. Then it rings, and you quickly pick it up and press it directly against your cheek. Let's review the top (dirty) everyday tech gadgets that contribute to skin problems (namely, acne):

Dirty technology #1: Smartphone

Your phone is dirtier than a toilet seat. We treat our phones like an extension of ourselves and take them everywhere, so if you touch your face after touching your dirty phone, consider using disinfectant wipes on your phone's screen.

Dirty Technology #2: Computer

If you're typing on your keyboard, think about the last time you cleaned it... Do you also eat at your desk? Bacteria are all around us, so it's important not only to clean the surfaces of your tech, but also to clean your dirty face. We already have to deal with hormonal acne, so don't make it worse by picking at a breakout with your grimy keyboard fingers.

Dirty Tech #3: Headphones

What is acne?

If you're experiencing acne along the sides of your ears, your headphones could be the culprit. Whether you're working out with headphones, using them at work, or wearing noise-canceling headphones while flying to Miami, be aware that bacteria can cling to your headphones and get into your pores. To combat this, try using a wireless option that won't disrupt your skincare routine.

Tips to stop tech acne:

Keep all your equipment clean using disinfectant wipes.

Cleanse your dirty face regularly. And if you're still thinking about your skincare routine, start with a toner and spritz it directly onto your face throughout the day. It will kill bacteria and also make your face look radiant.

Create your own skincare routine based on your skin's needs. At FACE FITNESS, we can offer you facials tailored to your skin's requirements. Make an appointment with our therapists and don't forget to take care of your skin and body.
