Best Sun Hats to Protect Your Face From the Rays

When we think about summer outfits and style our mind immediately wanders to sundresses, shorts, sandals, and sunglasses. What about some fun sun hats to protect your face and add another dimension to your summer style. Not only do they add a little extra pizazz to our outfits, but they also add another layer of protection from the sun.

Yes, we know that we should wear our sunscreen 365 days a year regardless of rain or shine. The sun hat helps us add another layer of protection to face, neck and decollete. Another good reason to embrace a cute sun hat is to help hide humidity hair. If you are like me, your fine hair won’t hold a curl not matter how much product is on it. Others have the opposite and they turn into one big curl. Either way, hat hair may just be the way to go.

What to Look for in a Sun Hat

When you are looking for a hat that your dermatologist would approve of you should consider these 3 things

  • has a full brim measuring 3-5 inches
  • is made of material that the sun’s rays cannot penetrate
  • covers your scalp

Types of Sun Hats

There are lots of choices and styles of sun hats for us to choose from these days. You can easily find sporty styles that are perfect for the tennis court, hitting the links, or going for a walk. There are the classic wide brimmed hats if you are wanting to add a little mystery to hide behind and do some people watching. Of course, there is just the timeless classic straw hat just makes you let out a sigh of relaxation when you put it on your head.

THANKS

As always, thanks for taking the time to stop by my little corner of the internet. I hope this helped you find a great sun hat for your favorite outdoor activity. If only we had known the importance of wearing sunscreen and sun hats when we were young. Just think of all the facials, chemical peels and dermatology visits that we could have prevented.

Remember to always have a little SASs in your day!

Hugs,
