A study by a team of University College Hospital, Besancon, in France has revealed that the damage caused by sun coming through glass can be so dramatic that, over time, the side of the face exposed to the rays can end up looking up to seven years older than the other. few hours sitting in a car during April results in skin damage, and even during autumn months the damage is far worse than previously realised, it has been found.

Glass does block out the sun's UVB rays, but about 50 per cent of UVA rays, associated with burning and ageing, do get through.he team demonstrated that a woman office worker or regular driver will age more quickly on the side where the skin faces the sun and heat - even through glass.

"Participants showed significantly more clinical signs of facial ageing on one side of their face due to driving or working close to windows over many years," the Daily Mail quoted researchers as saying.
