Faces from Myanmar

Faces from Myanmar

This make up is called Thanaka from the name of the tree which
the paste is got from.
It is also used by women and children to soften and protect their skin against the sun.
You have to wet the paste ( sold in small bars of soap size ) and spread it on your face ...


other sizes: small medium large original

This is my choice for the picture of the day today. With so many good pictures in your galleries I will have a daily choice for the next 300 years and more.

nice capture Anna.

I just wonder what is the reason for putting the white thing on their face? Is that how they make up ...?
Thanks
