Those who go to the beach use swimming caps-masks in order to protect their skin from sunburn. By the way, there is one more plus in "face-kinis" - they remarkably scare away insects and jellyfish.
Unlike European women, Asian women find a tanned face unattractive, so they are ready to endure any inconvenience in order to preserve the natural whiteness of their skin. Chinese women perceive tanning as a sign of overwhelming physical labor, which a woman is engaged in, most often peasant women look tanned, and aristocrats, of course, should be blue-blooded and not touched by the sun's rays. In Asian countries, the cult of unburned skin has reached its climax - pharmacies offer a variety of skin care products to ensure its natural color and protect against pigmentation.

This season, the fashion trend was also picked up by garment factories, today you can easily find "face-kinis" in stores at a very affordable price 15 to 25 RMB ($ 2.40 to $ 4.00).
