Holidaymakers in China’s Shandong province have found an alternative to the classic combination of sunscreen and hat.

Opting out of tanning, fair-skinned men, women and children visiting the sandy beaches of Qingdao have been sporting Face-Kinis. The brightly coloured protective item is similar to a balaclava and appears to be sewn out of waterproof fabrics.
