We all feel a little down and low energy at work but what if I told you, Your job could be literally getting under your skin. Skin experts have devised a nifty online calculator that will reveal whether one’s job is causing them to age prematurely.
- Scores below 40 denote “minor ageing,” meaning the person is at low risk of work-induced “ugliness” and may only display minor signs like wrinkles around the eyes.
- Scores between 40 and 60 indicate a risk of “moderate aging” denoted by poor posture and lines around the eyes — redefining “lines” of work.
- The highest level, per the calculator, was 80-100 or extreme aging, in which the sufferer has thinning gray hair, frown lines due to stress and concentration, poor posture, sun spots, saggy skin, jowls and undereye bags and dark circles.
According to the calculator, being hunched over at the computer for hours at a time can lead to poor posture and other Health conditions in the long run.
Having a job where you spend time outside sounds ideal. However, the calculator warns that this prolonged sun exposure can lead to sun spots on the face and other symptoms associated with “severe” and “extreme aging.” Working around heavy fumes like mechanics or chefs do can also contribute to early signs of aging.
