Young Girl with Thanaka. Rangoon.

Thanakha is a yellowish-white cosmetic paste made from ground bark. It is a distinctive feature of the culture of Burma, seen commonly applied to the face and sometimes the arms of women and girls, and is used to a lesser extent also by men and boys.
Apart from cosmetic beauty, thanaka also gives a cooling sensation and provides protection from sunburn. It is believed to help remove acne and promote smooth skin. It is also an anti-fungal. (From Wikipédia)

Le thanaka est une pâte cosmétique blanc-jaune d'origine végétale couramment utilisée en Birmanie pour couvrir le visage et parfois les bras des femmes et des filles, et dans une moindre mesure des hommes et des garçons.
Outre sa fonction cosmétique, le thanaka procure une sensation rafraichissante, protège de la brûlure du soleil, aide à lutter contre l'acné, rend la peau douce et a une action anti-mycosique. (D’après Wikipédia).

Your description is illuminating. In this case it looks as if it were applied to relieve the blemishes on her cheeks. A lovely image, Danad.
