Office work is not usually called harmful production, but 8 hours in a room with computers and air conditioners can be bad for the skin. How to protect her?
Air Conditioned = Dry Skin
The heat of batteries in winter and air conditioners in summer dry the air in the office, and with it the skin. Add to this coffee, which has a diuretic effect, and there you have the risk of dehydration.
Therefore, advice: drink as much water as possible at work (1,5–2 liters) and moisturize your skin with face and hand creams, serums, mists, thermal water. After applying the latter, be sure to pat your face with a napkin so as not to get the opposite result in the form of dryness and tightness.

Computer work = early wrinkles
Long hours in front of the computer every day is one of the main causes of fine wrinkles around the eyes and on the bridge of the nose, so skin care in the office should also include anti-aging products.

leads to a dull complexion.
The antidote to blue light is cosmetics with antioxidants.

Working at a computer provokes the formation of wrinkles and circles under the eyes
The mechanism of this process is as follows: with the fragility of the vessels, the breakdown products of hemoglobin penetrate through the walls into the surrounding tissues and stain them blue.
