NCT ID NCT07764809
First seen Aug 14, 2026 ยท Last updated Aug 14, 2026
Summary
This observational study looks at whether time spent driving is linked to differences in skin hydration between the left and right cheeks in female drivers in Florida. In left-hand-drive cars, the left cheek gets more sun exposure through the side window. Researchers will measure skin hydration on both cheeks and the forehead in 80 women aged 25-65 and compare it with their driving habits to see if a pattern emerges.
