FACE it, we're all getting older - but the last thing we need is to be told that we are looking it too. But that's precisely the case, according to French researchers who have been squinting into the sunlight to see what it's doing to us.
They have concluded that UVA in sun rays, which can make lines worse and cause wrinkles, are able to penetrate glass and damage skin even while we are indoors.
The team from the University College Hospital, Besançon, found that workers who sit near windows can look ten years older than those who don't.
They also claimed that the side of the worker's face which has been facing the window, pictured left, would have aged more than the other side.
The research - which also revealed that eight out of ten women don't think about protecting their face from UVA rays unless they are on holiday - was backed by Boots, who are introducing UVA sun protection into a line of their No7 moisturisers.
