That means time spent on our phones isn&rsquo;t just affecting our sleeping pattern and eyesight: your long-term health could suffer too.

Beauty brands are on it, devising products aimed at preventing the damage of HEV before it hits. Look for products that guard from HEV-induced melanin, and include protective and reparative antioxidants (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soapandglory.com\/make-yourself-youthful-sunshield-superfluid-spf50\">this one<\/a>). Use SPF every single day, and try an eye cream containing white tea to help fight those free radicals.
