2. Wrinkle prevention
Did you know that sun exposure may cause up to 90% of the visible changes attributed to aging? That’s right, skin damage done by the sun is no joke.

It's a small habit that can benefit you and your skin for years to come! Ponyback fitted baseball caps are very effective when it comes to protecting the skin on your face from UV rays.

3. Prevent Scalp Burns
Wearing a hat can also be beneficial for preventing scalp sunburns. Sunburns on the scalp are particularly unpleasant and painful. When the scalp is exposed to strong UV rays, it can become red and swollen. It can also form blisters which can make it difficult to style or brush hair. The scalp is one of the most vulnerable areas of the body to experience sun damage because it’s often neglected and it’s difficult to apply sunscreen to. Protecting your scalp can also be a difficult task since sunscreen and hair don’t really mix (nobody likes greasy sunscreen hair). The most reliable and easy way to protect your scalp from the sun is by wearing a fitted hat.By wearing a hat you don’t need to worry about reapplying sunscreen or if your scalp is in the direct sunlight, you can simply live your life as normal.

UV rays can cause many negative effects to eye health such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and even skin cancer on the eyelids. This is why protecting your eyes from the sun is so important. Not only does sunlight cause long term damage, it also causes eye strain caused by sunlight in general. Wearing a hat is one of the best ways that you can protect your eyes because the extended brim can reduce glare, block sunlight, and provide shade. Wearing a hat is a really simple habit you can implement into your daily life to protect yourself from the sun's harmful rays.
