Things that are good for you: fruits, vegetables... and mustaches? Researchers at “Radiation Protection Dosimetry” found that facial hair actually provides protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays. The journal, which focuses on measuring the amount of radiation people absorb, also found that longer mustaches provide more protection than shorter ones. The same goes for beards, of course.
And ladies: you're not excluded in all the (healthy) fun. Separate research has also found that the hair on your head also protects you from the sun -- especially if it's long.

really? "if scientist say so"
Grace to you, Glory to God!
Others, nahhh!
But I like Beards:
Also, there is a reason that we aren't covered in hair from head to toe: We need to absorb UVB rays in order to build vitamin D. Too much sun exposure can cause skin cancer, but too little sun exposure causes vitamin D deficiency and seasonal affective disorder. It would therefore make sense to only wear a beard during the summer and go clean shaven in the winter months.
