A computer screen itself does not directly cause pimples, but prolonged exposure to computers may affect the skin's oil secretion. Incorrect posture, long periods of mental stress, and neglecting facial cleansing may indirectly promote acne formation.

It is recommended to reduce prolonged computer use, thereby decreasing radiation's harmful effects on the skin and lowering the risk of acne development. Clean your face with warm water and a gentle facial cleanser in the morning and evening to remove oil and dirt, preventing pore blockage. Avoid squeezing pimples arbitrarily, as this may cause infection or leave scars.

Use skincare products with protective properties, such as a facial primer, to effectively shield against computer radiation. Additionally, keep your skin moisturized by using hydrating products such as toner and essence. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, reduce intake of high-sugar and high-fat foods, and maintain intestinal health, which helps improve skin condition.

Engage in regular aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking or swimming, to promote blood circulation and assist the body in detoxification, which positively impacts skin quality. Maintain good sleep habits, ensure sufficient sleep, and avoid excessive mental stress or anxiety, which can help improve acne conditions.
