By now you know the importance of wearing sunscreen when you step outside. But have you considered wearing a hat, too?
In addition to being super stylish, sun hats offer an extra layer of protection against the sun’s skin-damaging UV rays.
Sunburn can occur within minutes of sun exposure, even though symptoms may not appear for several hours.
While your hair mostly protects your scalp, the skin on your head is still vulnerable to burning. In fact, your scalp receives more direct UV exposure than any other part of your body simply because it is closest to the sun.
That’s why wearing a hat is also so important. Hats block your skin from ultraviolet rays and provide sun protection that doesn’t wear off.
