Digital Ageing: damage from smartphones and the like

What’s the first thing you do when you wake up? Do you just switch off the alarm. Or do you dive straight into your social media, the news or your e-mails? We’re certain that most of us start the day with our mobiles in our hand. 

Digital technologies have become an integral part of our daily lives in recent decades. But they don’t only offer advantages. They can have a negative impact on our bodies. Because excessive use of smartphones and computers can damage our skin and physical well-being over the long term. This process is known as digital ageing. 

What exactly does digital ageing do? 

Ageing process
Just like sunlight and environmental pollution, digital influences also leave their marks. Constant exposure to the blue light radiated by screens can accelerate the skin’s natural ageing process and reduce the skin’s elasticity.  

Formation of wrinkles
Staring at screens for lengthy periods and squinting in order to see text or images can cause fine lines and wrinkles to form around the eyes. These are often described as “screen wrinkles”. 

Disrupted sleep
If we spend too much time on screens in the evening, our sleep may be disrupted. This lack of sleep impacts our skin health. Adequate sleep is important, so that the skin can regenerate. Less sleep often leaves the skin looking tired and older. 

How we can protect ourselves

While the pressure on our eyes from blue light has become a hot and controversial topic, the impacts on our skin are often overlooked. Because these often creep up on us slowly. Awareness and targeted care can however help to minimise the side effects of digital ageing on the skin. Our innovative skincare products and preventive measures offer you approaches for combatting the challenges of the digital age. We’d like to show you the products. 

A healthy outside starts from the inside

CAPS protect is a supplement that builds up your inner shield. It protects you optimally all year round from external environmental influences such as light pollution, the sun’s rays and blue light. Because a healthy skin starts from the inside. 

The capsules contain an extra high concentration of antioxidants such as astaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin. They help to fight off external influences that trigger oxidative stress. Vitamin C, zinc and copper also help to protect the cells from oxidative stress. 

The best wrinkles are the ones you never get

Beautiful, healthy and radiant skin is a combination of inner and outer care. Our products ADDS glow and FRESH hydro serum are the dream team that gives you potent skincare support. They make your skin more elastic, deliver lots of moisture, and strengthen the skin barrier. 

ADDS glow is a beauty concentrate that lightens up changes in colour to the skin and boosts its elasticity. For more intensive results in the case of acne scars and local skin discolouration, it can be applied undiluted to individual areas. ADDS glow delivers a radiant, even glow thanks to the antioxidant ingredients EGCG and liquorice root. 

FRESH hydro serum contains special ingredients that regulate the skin’s moisture content. They also activate Vitamin D receptors. The result? Optimal hydration in every layer of the skin. A special peptide complex offers additional antioxidant protection and promotes cell renewal. 

For maximum effect, mix ADDS glow with FRESH hydro serum – ensuring that you get gentle but highly effective care for your skin.  

 
The negative effects of smartphones and the like have not yet been fully researched. But we can already start taking steps to protect ourselves as well as possible. Internal and external care, a healthy lifestyle and adequate rest help us to stay fit.
