I suffer from body dysmorphia and as I am worse I'm finding that I cannot use technology any more as I can see my face reflect on the devices screen. Are there any screen protectors that will stop the reflection or reduce it?

I don't know why some dipshit has downvoted you, but I've got a matte screen protector for my tablet. It doesn't completely stop light from reflecting, but it doesn't reflect enough detail for you to see your face.

I hope you get help with the dysmorphia and feel better about yourself soon 👍

Thank you! Will give this a try :)

Search for anti-glare or etched glass and your device.

Thank you. I have ordered some from amazon for my phone and switch which have good reviews. Hoping the one for my phone doesn't affect the finger print reader but its a feature I can live without

Got one for my Steamdeck and it's perfect

Matte finish and/or anti-glare should help

If the ones you got don’t do the trick, look for paper-like screen protectors. I have one on my iPad and all I can see in the reflection is a vague shape. Don’t know about posting links, but search Amazon for “# Esanik 2 Pack Like Paper Glass Screen” to see what I’m talking about

Thank you for taking the time to make the recommendation. I will be sure to try this if the matte screen protectors don't work out :)

Matte screen protectors exist , don't hafta necessarily be marketed as "paper-like" . Tho note they may smꚙth out over time

However not been able to find one with "privacy shield" like feature if that's some thing you care about
