Development of the <scp>SkinCARE</scp> Questionnaire: Measuring the impact of skin issues on psychological wellbeing in healthy populations
The present scale is the first validated instrument designed to specifically measure the impact of skin health on emotional wellbeing in healthy populations. These data confirm the association between skin health and psychological wellbeing, and also a link to psychological wellbeing indicators. Future research should leverage the SkinCARE Questionnaire to examine and describe the effects of cosmetic skincare products on wellbeing.
