Myanmar culture and traditional
Myanmar is full of local culture and customs. I strongly beleive that you will certainly interrest about the culture of Myanmar if you come to visit the country you will see and experience many more.
Thanaka
While you explore Myanmar you will pass many women and children with a yellow-white paste on their faces. This is both a cosmetic and practical paste that is made by rubbing ground bark with a sprinkle of water and is made on a daily basis taking a few minutes. Thanaka's practical use is as a suncream to protect themselves from the strong sun rays. Everyone tends to use a thinner paste which is fully absorbed by the skin for use over the body but the women also make a thicker paste to apply to their faces, sometimes in creative patterns, as a local form of make-up. One pattern is created by using a leaf, covering it in thanaka and then pressing onto the cheek leaving a leaf print.
