As glamorous and fun as they are, most gadgets are breeding grounds for bacteria. Cell phones are among the worst because they come in contact with our hands, face, purses, desks and many other dirty hot spots. I periodically wipe down my cell phone with a damp cloth and always wash my hands, but I can't help but get a few pesky pimples on my cheek or jawline- the exact spot where I hold my cell phone. Do you get blemishes from your cell phone? Do you have a secret to keep your face glowing and free from zits caused by gadgets? Leave your comments below!

You just need to be conscientious about things like this. I make sure to clean the screen on my cell phone when necessary. If you wash your face in the morning and at night, and also make sure to use power or one of those "remove the oil" sheets of paper...you'll be fine. Of course some people have very sensitive skin and so you should think about using a bluetooth or headset instead of pressing the phone against your face.
1i make sure my face isn't attached to the surface of my phone when i am using it
2I've never gotten a blemish from it—I have a little earpiece/speaker right now and am getting a bluetooth headset.
3I don't get skin blemishes from cellphone. I get a pimple or two 1 week before my period but not from using my cellphone
4I don't think its from the mobile phone
5People get them from all different reasons
but somehow I don't think its caused by telephone use
I don't talk on my phone often so I don't know. Couldn't you also say the same thing for home phones?
6i'm not on the phone enough to get blemishes there.
7Actually i just got one or two and after reading this i notice its right on the cheek where i hold my cellphone up against, I ussually never get any pimples or blemishes only right before my period but recently yes i have gotten two right in the place where i hold my cellphone , i think the summer heat has an affect to it as well!
8No. I clean all of my phones once a week when I clean the rest of my house. Work, home, cell.
9no
10I don't think I use my phone enough for that, haha! I also wipe down the screen pretty frequently. (Especially now that I have an iPhone!)
11nope
12from my work phone...i'm a receptionist
13Not really because I use a headset as much as I can, both at work and on my cell....
14omg you dirty, dirty girl
i don't get the blemishes, but i agree with some others
said--how's this any different from WAAYYY back in the day when all we had were land lines?
15No, thank goodness. I always clean my phone.
16never thought about this...but I think I don't really 'call' that often to get germs..
17I do not, eww!
I clean my screen periodically with wipes to guard against things like this. We all know the cleanest place in the house is the toilet seat and one of the dirtiest is the phone, surely?
Don't get me started on keyboards.
18If you do get them, then you need to back off the phone usage.
