Sunscreen has been our go-to protection measure to shield our skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun. Not just women but even men have begun using sunscreen diligently because nothing damages the skin like the sun. But looks like people in China are taking UV protection to another level! To protect themselves from the harsh sun rays, Chinese people are spotted in public with their faces covered up with masks. People were seen wearing full face masks, which are facekinis, and stepping out of the houses. Is this a new fashion accessory that will catch on with the rest of the world?
Pictures have surfaced on the internet where people in China are seen wearing full-face masks. These facekinis are made of a UV-resistant material and have holes for eyes, nose and mouth. Temperatures in China have risen to over 35C and people have been buying these facekinis along with other heat accessories like fans. These facekinis have come in monochrome and even many different patterns.
It is surprising that such full-face masks have made a back post the pandemic. Given how people were fed up with the N95 masks because they found it difficult to breathe in them, people have taken to these masks pretty well. In many pictures have surfaced on social media, people were seen enjoying in the pool wearing swimwear along with these facekinis.
