The study showed / The chin protects against sore throat and skin cancer, but also slows down aging

Brade acts beneficial to health, acts as a type of insulator and protects against sore throat and sunburn and also alleviates asthma caused by pollen particles

The chin protects against sunburn and skin cancer, according to a study at South Queensland University. Scientists have determined that the beard provides 80 to 95 percent sun protection, and the strength of protection depends on how long and thick the hair is. Also, UV rays cut three times less of the skin with hair than that naked, Daily Mail writes.

The hair acts like a protective factor, which is more densely protective. But regardless of this, even bearded men are recommended to use a protective lotion, said dermatologist Dr. Nick Lowe.

Asthma
Men with asthma caused by pollen claim that their mustache and chin reduce the symptoms. Brunts prevent particle entry into the nostrils and lungs, claims Carol Walker of Birmingham Center for Trihology.

Some experts disagree with this theory, claiming that whips can only temporarily retain particles. In the worst case, large amounts of pollen that accumulate can cause a dangerous allergic reaction.

Aging
Hair on the face protects the skin from adverse weather conditions and slows down aging. They prevent loss of moisture, so the skin is constantly hydrated. If you apply a cream to the skin under the skin, the skin will retain moisture longer than on naked skin, Dr. Lowe claims.

Also, men have thicker skin than women who are resistant to damage, and chin protects them further, he added.

Cough and sore throat
The wrist that stretches around the neck creates a protective layer and retains heat, thus preventing cough and sneezing. The hair acts as a special insulator and helps in the cold months, added Walker.

Rash
Continuous shaving causes bacterial infections, rashes, hair follicles, so it can be said that the beard is beneficial to the skin, explained dermatologist Dr. Martin Wade of the London Skin and Hair Clinic.

But the bad side of the beard is what the hairbrush can cause infection. Risk also increases food remains that may clog with hair and therefore it is important to regularly groom and cut hair, says dr. Ron Cutler, microbiologist at Queen Mary University in London.
