Is it necessary to protect the beard from the sun?

Many people think that it is not necessary to protect the beard from the sun because the facial hair itself already does. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Just as we know that it is necessary to take care of sun exposure on the face and body, in the beard area as well. Beard hair protects against external factors such as dust and other types of particles, but sun protection is not as effective.
