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.
