Breakouts from talking on the phone?
Who would have thought that the harmless act of talking on the phone can even lead to breakouts! I guess there is no justice! Apparently this can happen. If you spend hours talking on the phone, you can develop what we call the phone induced acne or simply phone breakouts! It can develop around the cheeks and jaw area.

One of the reasons can be we hold the phone too close to our faces and as a result, sweating on the phone and blocking the pores. If you wear makeup, you would at times notice that the makeup is melted down the phone as well? Yuck! What is worst is if you use office phone which goes in many people's hands and get pressed on many faces!
So what is the solution to this pesky issue? Luckily this doesn't require major changes in our lifestyle, rather adopting simple ways we can keep our breakouts at bay.

2. Most importantly, keep your phone away from your face.
