Choosing a good sun protection hat is very important. Here are two sobering facts:
- A third of all skin cancers appear on the face.
- The biggest cause of premature aging is damage from the sun – from the infancy on up.
Pretty disturbing, huh? So let’s get started on finding the perfect sun protection hat for you.
Here are 5 basic questions to get you started:
- What kind of activities will you engage in? Do you need good peripheral vision? Will it be hot or windy?
- Do you need strong sun protection or will you supplement it with sun protection cream?
- How big should the brim of your sun protection hat be?
- Does it have to look fashionable or should it just get the job done?
- What is your hair like? Long? Short? Do you dye it?
In subsequent blog posts I will dive into each of these questions. They might sound simple and obvious. But the fact is a lot of people end up with a sun protection hat they don’t want to wear after all.
