Holding your all squeezed up to your face? Not a cool look. Literally, it makes you sweat. So you're getting sweat and all manner of bacteria taking up residence on your face and that leads to ALL OF THE ADULT ACNE BREAKOUTS. That's why I use my phone exclusively for texting. This is only sort of a joke.

Your smartphone emits blue light. Blue light travels on the same wavelength as UV rays. This has derms all worried that looking at your phone too much can actually cause DARK SPOTS TO FORM ON YOUR FACE. I mean yes, UV rays can also cause skin cancer, so that is bad too. 

3. Wrinkly neck

You know when you turn on your phone in selfie mode accidentally and it's like you've seen the face of Satan and he is you and he has many many chins? Well that's what your face looks like whenever you're looking down at your phone. Do this too much, and you'll get wrinkly neck and wrinkly boob skin.
