How To Tell If Your Phone Is Giving You Acne
Unless you’re cursed with seriously bad acne, you probably just get acne in certain places on occasion. Personally, I hardly ever get pimples. But when I do, they’re always on my damn chin.
If you consistently get them in the same place, there’s almost guaranteed to be a reason for that. It could be a hormonal imbalance, or your diet, but it could also be your phone.
