2. Since hats block some of the sun’s rays, they help keep your body temperature low and regulated. Without it, your body temperature can spike when out in hot, sunny weather which can have many negative effects.

3. Another benefit of wearing a hat is that it prevents sunburns. Enjoying a fun day at the beach or out and about doing other summer activities? Be sure to grab your baseball cap before you head out. Simply wearing it while being exposed to the sun can help prevent you from getting a sunburn.

4. Similar to how wearing a hat protects you from sunburns, it also helps protect your face and scalp from developing skin cancer. Without a hat, your face and scalp are very susceptible to the sun’s harsh rays, therefore increasing your risk of developing cancer in these areas.
