Face-Kini Is a Craze on China's Beaches: Sun Burn or Face-Kini?

Yeah, it probably works fine at the beach.

Just do not walk across the street to the convenience store with the nervous but well armed store clerk. ;)

I wonder what they'd say at the DMV when they go for a drivers license ........

AHH IT'S A GIANT FACE-CONDOM THAT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE AN ALIEN!!!!! RUN!

I don't tan, I burn. It's my good fortune however that I can just as easily use Sun Block and not have to wear anything over my head.

The sunburn will fade a lot faster than the shame.

thats just a colourful balaclava,they look like flamboyantly gay terrorists

But really, sunscreen works perfectly well :)

These pics seem to be taken in Qingdao which is where my wife lived before we were married.
There are these types of middle-aged women who are always out every day doing their swimming. (or they do jazzercise in parks or sing old hymns) but they are the very loyal types who are always out each day.
(I think this actually goes back to a kind of communist 'national health' sorta thing),
anyways,
While it is true many Chinese might want to emulate Westerners pale skin there is also cultural reasons where social status wants to show light winter skin as associated with princesses and scholars -versus- dark skin associated with poor rice farmers and labourers.
Interestingly, these ladies will suppose that light skin covers flaws and blemishes but think dark skin shows up flaws.

Anyways, the Face-Kini rules and I have every intention of buying some next time we are in China. Just the funniest greatest thing lol

Wearing it for Halloween? Or is it for your next ski trip at the resort?

*Bedroom eyes only

Give credence to the paperbag over the face to hide the unsightful appearance that some men complain about about women?

Nah, my lady is a fox all over.

Nice for both of you, but my comment was concerning the "face-kini,

Maybe you could rephrase the question. Thanks.

My original question concerned what you planned to use the mask for? Will you be using it on Halloween?

No, I will be adding it to my collection of masks from around the world.

That is a great idea! Thumbs up to you!

Imagine wearing that in line at a bank.

I like the concept, but not the 'face-kini' as the Chinese are producing them. I would perfer something a little less bizzar. I get sun-burned easily and the creams break out my skin. Usually, as you can see by my picture, I don't go out in the direct sun, ever.

Glad I am not the only one, but the Dermatologist told me to get 20minutes of direct sun daily. So, I take Vitamin D instead. Hope you are as well, we need that stuff.

I drink milk and eat cheese and greens. Early morning sun I can stand for a while, if I could wake up to go out there.

Actually I'd rather not go to China beaches at all!

Face-Kini = badass.

They look frickin' ridiculous!!!

Just don't wear it in America. If they see you wearing that, they'll probably cry "wolf"/"TERRORIST" and shoot you in the street.

The good news is, mugging people on the beach just got easier. They totally look like balaclavas.

No no no
I'd rather get a sunburn

aw, their facekinis are so adorable. ^_^ they remind me of cotton candy ice cream.

Sweet now I can rob people on the beach, ski masks just raise to much suspicion.

Where can you run after you've just robbed a bank? Any beach on China!! So come on down, brink your stolen goods and Face-Kini's... er... ski masks!

Ugh, seriously??

Hey Japan, China is trying to out weird you.

i wouldnt

Those people look retarded

I don't believe they're preventing burns, necessarily. I'm more inclined to believe they're preventing their faces from tanning. In China and nearby nations, they go to lengths to achieve pale skin like Westerners go to lengths to get tan skin. So that's probably the real purpose of the Face-Kini.
Therefore, since I like pale skin on myself and I HATE when I get tan, I'd rather wear a Face-Kini than get a sunburn, which would eventually lead to a suntan, on my face.

LOL I thought they were Hollywood cops on a CISPA or SOPA raid!

this is funnyy l:
