Burma is a unique country. I don't mean the backwardness in development and burmese greedy junta.
Men still wear a sarong, and the women apply to their faces thanaka cream there.
Wow, these burmese cheeks :)
The thanaka cream provides protection from sunburn and helps to remove acne and promotes smooth skin.
Buy yourself a thanka cream when you travel in Burma or Thailand.
Support local communities, don't buy all your life product manufactured by multinational corporations.
Keep our world as diverse and rich planet.
The diverse cultures that is our true wealth.
I don't get it. If it provides protection from sunburn, why do they apply on the spots? What the other parts of face?

ReplyDeleteThey apply a thin layer of thanaka on their entire faces. The skin absorbs the cream.
Then the thick thanaka on the cheeks is still visible.
