16. The ingenious “Facekini”
In the photo, full-face masks cover up women’s faces for sun protection while enjoying the beach.
These Chinese women in “facekinis” enjoy an afternoon at the No. 1 bathing beach in the northern city of Qingdao. Cautious beach lovers on this coastline have taken skin protection to a heightened level and now use “facekinis”, which are masks that shield the face from exposure to the sun, the Telegraph explained. These self-styled full-face protective masks can come in different colors and designs. Chinese women continue to stand up for the right to bare nothing because having a lighter skin tone and a face with no wrinkles (which are caused by UV rays) are important parts of the famous Asian beauty standard.
