Think straw hats are for those who cannot afford real hats? Guess again. Several Hollywood celebrities have been spotted recently wearing a wide array of straw hats. From Panama hats to straw cowboy hats, straw is all the rage!

With many straw hats priced at $50 or less, they have become one of the trendiest fashion statements on the market. Not only do straw hats look cool, but they also help protect the delicate skin on your face from harmful UVA and UVB rays, the main component in skin cancer. As awareness of skin cancer continues to grow, you should definitely be seeing a hat to shade your facial skin from the harsh UVA and UVB rays that the sun emits. Not only does this prevent wrinkles, but it also helps prevent sun exposure that can lead to skin cancer. In fact, the American Cancer Society recommends wearing a hat on sunny days in addition to sunscreen.
