Would you wear a Facekini?

Nooooo!!!!

I can't wear sunscreen on my face very often and I don't want to over expose my skin, so if I'm going to be out in the sun, I wear a hat!

I like the idea of being protected and having anonymity but I probably wouldn't wear that. It doesn't look comfortable and it's just one more piece of laundry I'd have to deal with.

I wish I would have listened to "them" when "they" told me to stay out of the sun. "They" were completely right and now I have spots and wrinkles. My BFF and I used to grease ourselves up with baby oil and iodine and lay on the roof for hours. That seems like madness now but we thought we were h-o-t. It's interesting what different cultures find attractive. (the light skin vs dark skin thing)

Especially since both pale and tanned skin are seen as a sign of both affluence and low income.

Coco Chanel was instrumental in popularizing the tan.
Her idea was a tan indicates you are affluent enough to lounge around in the sun.

I'm Asian and I have dark skin. I wear sunscreen religiously to try and ward off wrinkles. I couldn't care less about tanning or not tanning but I've seen some seriously damaged skin due to sunbathing and I'm trying my best to avoid it. I'd never wear a facekini though, that's just crazy.

I would if it was comfortable and everyone else was doing it. I wouldn't enjoy people staring at me like a freak otherwise.
