Staring at the phone causes premature ageing
Experts have warned that constantly looking down at devices puts strain on the neck and can lead to the early appearance of lines in the skin.
Meanwhile, the 'blue light' emitted from the screens causes premature facial ageing because it generates molecules that damage skin cells.
The skincare company LYMA has discovered that online searches on both issues had risen by 130 per cent.
The firm's founder Lucy Goff said: "We're all constantly connected, so it's no surprise we are seeing the signs.
"While you may be familiar with 'tech neck', which relates to chronic neck or shoulder pain, digital wrinkles are the visible cost."
It has also been predicted by The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons that face and neck surgery will be amongst the most common treatments this year.
