Many people think that sun hats aren’t really necessary. However, sun hats serve a very important purpose when it comes to protecting your head and face from the sun, especially for men. Men are more likely to develop basal and squamous cell carcinomas than women, according to Banner Health. The reason for this is that men are more likely to be exposed to the sun than women, so sun protection is vital for them as well.
The skin is negatively affected by not wearing a hat. As well as making UV rays easier to reach your skin, it increases your risk of heatstroke.
