Your face is the most important to protect, wearing a large hat is ideal because it will protect your face, the neck ear, eyes, forehead.

This will help avoid a face burn which can be very damaging and also aging.

There are tons of cute big floppy hats everywhere pick  yourself up a couple to leave in a few places. Leave one specifically in your car this way if you ever decide last minute you will always have one handy.
