'Facekinis' Now Popular In China Because of Extreme Heat
As temperatures soar in Beijing, people are finding creative ways to beat the heat and protect themselves from the scorching sun.
With the air temperature going above 35°C (95°F) and the ground surface reaching a staggering 80°C in some areas, staying cool is a big challenge.
One new fashion trend gaining popularity is the facekini," a full-face mask with holes for the eyes and nose. People are also using separate sleeves to cover their arms, along with wide-brimmed hats and lightweight jackets made from special UV-resistant fabric.
Sales of these sun protection items have surged this year compared to previous years, according to shopkeepers. Many people, especially women in East Asia, prefer to have fair skin, so they are taking extra precautions to avoid sun damage.
Besides wanting to look good, people are also concerned about their health. The intense sun can cause skin diseases and sunspots, so covering up is essential.
In some places, like the Flaming Mountains in Xinjiang, the temperatures have been so extreme that a 12-meter-tall thermometer displayed a real-time surface temperature of 80°C.
To stay safe and cool during the heatwave, people are carrying portable fans and wearing protective gear to shield themselves from the sun's harmful rays.
