Staring down at your devices
When you’re staring down at your phone, tablet, or other electronic devices for hours every day, you bend your neck repeatedly. This action causes lines and wrinkles to form on your neck—a phenomenon sometimes dubbed tech neck.
Just as squinting and frowning can cause lines on your face, the persistent motion of your neck bending downward puts tension on the muscle—which in turn can create a wrinkle that’s always there, whether you’re moving your neck or not, says Dr. Shah.
