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.

Regular use (at least 3-4 months) of creams with vitamin C, peptides, glucans, rhamnose, retinol stimulates the synthesis of collagen, elastin and restores firmness and elasticity to the skin. Serums and fillers with hyaluronic acid reduce the appearance of wrinkles by filling the folds from the inside.

It has been proven that the so-called “blue light” (or HEV radiation) coming from the monitor also harms the skin:

  1. causes premature aging;

  2. leads to a dull complexion.

The antidote to blue light is cosmetics with antioxidants.
