Screens and Skin: What You Need to Know About the Effects on Skin Health

Which adult does not use at least one screen every day? Whether it is a computer, mobile phone, or television, the mobile phone is, without a doubt, the device that consumes the most hours of our attention every day. Screen use has become an integral part of our daily lives and increasingly takes up more of our time.

However, the ever-increasing use of screens in recent years has resulted in many people facing problems such as dry eyes, worsening of other eye diseases, as well as premature aging of the skin in the area around the eyes. One solution for hydrating the eye area is eye drops, which help keep the area well hydrated and protected.

Wait! We also have an extra tip for you.

The use of eye drops becomes even more effective if, at the same time, you take care to keep the area around the eyes well hydrated with an eye cream morning and evening. This combination will ensure better results and protection for this sensitive area.

The strb. eye cream offers anti-inflammatory action due to its numerous active ingredients. It helps fight free radicals and reduces dark circles, a common problem from long hours in front of screens. Also, shea butter and avocado oil provide rich hydration to the area around the eyes, without creating a heavy feeling on the skin.

If you try this cream the next time your eyes feel dry and tired, you will definitely remember us!
