I Facekini, bikinis for the face, have been designed and manufactured by a local company, and worn by many (as reported in the news) women, to also protect the face from the stings of jellyfish and algae, and since we , also from the ultraviolet rays of the sun (and perhaps Chinese women prefer not to tan).
The phenomenon is not new to Qingdao, where the first facekini appeared in 2012, but this year the item of clothing is gaining much popularity, so much so that increased production and piece of clothing is available in a variety of sports shops in the city as well as in booths stationed near the beach.
