(LaPresse) Mercury columns have not only gone crazy in Italy. From east to west, record temperatures are setting the globe ablaze. However, China is the country that has recorded the record for the highest temperature. In the northwestern region of Xinjiang, the thermometer read 52 degrees in Sanbao Village. And to protect yourself from the scorching sun, the “facekini”, a kind of balaclava, is becoming increasingly popular.
Specifically, it is a mask made of fabric for swimmers and beach lovers. As with a balaclava, only the eyes, nose and mouth remain uncovered. It is mostly used by middle-aged women, but it is also appreciated by younger girls and women who are afraid of possible damage from high temperatures (LaPresse)
