At the beginning of the video, the guy stands in front of the camera wearing a full-on winter outfit. Then he starts taking off his clothes bit by bit, showing how the temperature of his body is changing.

“The spots on my skin are caused by falling snow hitting my body and cooling it down”

In the beginning, you can see that his body is all red which means that it’s warm. But then as time passes and snow hits him, his body turns yellow and then green, indicating that the body is cooling down.

Later, he takes a handful of snow, forms a snowball out of it and put his cold hand on his chest. After the man removes his hand from the skin, you can see that it has left a green handprint on his chest.
