Summarized from various sources, here are a few benefits of hijab and hijab women are seen from the point of view of science or knowledge:
1. Protect the skin from sunburn (Sunburn)
Sunlight is actually beneficial for the skin, namely to synthesize calcium for bone health. But there are also bad consequences for the skin. Sunburn occurs due to sunburn or UV (ultra violet) exceeding the body’s resistance. Light-colored skin is more prone to sunburn than brown skin because melatonin levels (to protect skin from UV rays) are lower than brown skin.
Bright skin only lasts less than 15 minutes after being exposed to sunlight. While on brown skin it can last 3-9 hours. Symptoms of sunburn are not visible immediately but 6-48 hours after exposure to sunlight. The skin will feel burned and red. This can cause swelling of the skin, which is most often the skin of the feet.
2. Prevent inflammation of the outer skin (solar keratosis)
This type of inflammation looks like scales on the skin that are inflamed. A complication of this inflammation is skin cancer. This inflammation can occur on skin that is often exposed to sunlight such as cheekbones, nose, forehead, back of hands, back, legs. This disease is caused by frequent exposure to sunlight for a long time. The benefits of the hijab for health will protect the skin from the sun, you can use sunscreen.
3. Free from itching due to the sun (solar urticaria)
People often call this sun allergy, but it’s rare. Symptoms can immediately look like hives due to long exposure to sunlight. Often found in patients aged before 40 years. But these itching should be compared with itching from sweat.
4. Minimize the risk of skin cancer
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. This disease can develop in any part of human tissue, including the skin. We call it melanoma cancer, this is a cancer that grows in melanocyte cells, namely cells that produce skin pigment. The causes of melanoma are excessive exposure to UV rays and the habit of wearing tight clothes.
So, by using the hijab, the skin will be protected more optimally from the bad effects of UV rays. Thus the risk of skin cancer can be minimized.

The female body is more sensitive than the male body. The menstrual cycle can affect breast milk bags (breast milk) in nursing mothers. The right uterus connects the left breast, and the left uterus connects the right breast. Breast milk contains vitamins and vaccinations. Breast milk is protected by enzymes from all over the body. The benefits of the headscarf for women’s health protect the enzyme from being broken which immediately contains antibodies and antibiotics.
6. Protect from hot and cold air
The body is very sensitive to changes in temperature. Hot air is not good for the brain. Experts suggest that when you have to be in the sun, you should use closed clothing, especially on the head, eyes and neck to reduce the risk of brain damage. Staying cold for too long can also cause hypothermia, flu and shaking. In cold temperatures it is also advisable to wear clothes that cover the body and head to keep the body warm. Women who wear the hijab can maintain their temperature and protect their bodies from sun exposure and cold temperatures.

Wearing the headscarf can also prevent premature aging. By wearing a headscarf, your skin and hair will be protected from exposure to harmful UV rays. As info, UV rays can accelerate the process of the appearance of gray hair. In addition, UV rays also reduce the production of collagen in the skin. As a result, skin elasticity decreases and the effect can increase the risk of premature aging. Hijab can protect hair and body from excessive exposure to UV rays. But to be safer, don’t forget to use face sunblock every time you go out because your face is not always covered by a headscarf, unless you are wearing a veil.
