Thanaka


Thanaka, originally uploaded by Uhlenhorst.

Myanmar 1986 . The thanaka is a concoction made out of water mixed with a tree bark, which is spread on the face of children and women in Myanmar, as a sun screen and skin refresher, and is an ubiquitous burmese custom, but also in other parts of Asia, if under a different name.
