Bizarre 'facekinis' fashion craze hits China beaches amid record heat


China hit with record-smashing heat wave this year


Residents of China are reportedly using face masks that are also known as "facekinis" to protect themselves against the sun amid an intense heat wave.

Facekinis, which are masks that cover the entire face with holes for the eyes and mouth, have been selling out in China as the country faces sweltering heat, according to Global News.

Such masks have reportedly long been around in China, especially in the northeastern Chinese city of Qingdao, though experts say the face accessory has recently become more mainstream.

My Grandmother had a Halloween Mask just like that. We found it cleaning out her basement.

Small world.

I noticed this in China - they did NOT want to get a tan. They'd navigate through shade and carry umbrellas when in sun. We talked about it there - unlike here, where a tan may be considered attractive - because it's associated with leisure and therefore a mild nod to being UPPER class - there, it's considered bad and an indicator that you work in the sun and therefore, LOWER class.

When my son visited southeast Asia about 6 yrs ago he said all the women coverup to look as white as possible. So the class reason is probable.
