My favorite anti-aging hack works away while I’m watching TV – but it looks a little weird
IF you’re someone who’s a religious reality show binger, movie lover, or series devotee, you likely spend a chunk of your time in front of the TV screen.
Fellow television follower and TikTok creator Natalia shared her secret to preventing wrinkles from staring at her screen, but it looks a little weird.
The convenience of streaming series inadvertently unlocked a new level of people’s passion for watching TV.
Scheduled programming is out, while any-time binging is in.
But the issue is staring at a screen for so long can speed up aging in more ways than one.
Natalia posted a video showcasing the unique way she prevents fine lines from forming on her face as she watches her favorite shows.

While sitting in her bed, Natalia props her head up using a unique tool.
“I’m already wearing an airplane neck pillow to watch TV to prevent wrinkles,” she explains.
You may not realize it, but when you stare at a screen, you may begin to squint or furrow your eyebrows.
For Natalia, this is a common thing.

She believes that if her head is propped upright, she won’t crease her face or neck.
However, Natalia admits she didn’t realize screens caused other aging issues.
“I just learned blue light aka light from phones and computers is also aging you and causing wrinkles and hyperpigmentation,” she says.
According to WebMD, “Blue light from electronic devices can lead to changes in your skin cells, including cell shrinkage and death. These speed up the aging process.”
And these effects can be triggered in an hour of TV time.
One viewer gave Natalia a suggestion: “Been turning my night shift on with my laptop and phone.”
“Bestie I didn’t need to know that whilst I’m this deep into greys anatomy,” a shocked commenter said.
Other viewers were hesitant to believe Natalia’s information.
“This is actually untrue. The sun is our main source of blue light and its important for our cognitive function. Bluelight glasses are a marketing scheme,” a cynic wrote.
