This is so refreshing! At last a video that shows true pictures of life in Burma / Myanmar! You can see what lovely people they are.
Both Mom and daughter look so cute and lovely 😄😍
Simple, gentle, classy, honest, innocent, burmese people looks like living a heaven on earth
In India... the southern part we apply sandalwood / turmeric paste in a similar fashion
We don't apply it like this .
We wash it away after applying it and keeping it for a few hours.
I remember seeing ladies wearing this thirty years ago in the North of Thailand and on the Burmese border. I use to wonder what it was. If the West finds out it is good then you know intensive farming will be hitting the Thanaka tree soon.
I’m Myanmar Muslim I love thanka 😍
Me to i love thanaka
Hello, Is it secured for a tourist muslim in myanmar or for business?
Hlo how can i order this item and where is it available
I like how environmental friendly and cheap the Thanaka is. Genius idea..
Thumbs up!
Burmese women are beautiful
Thanka.... Happy to watch this vedio.., this is a new information for me, this simple routine thanka makes the Myanmar's people still beautifully now. After a thousand of years still they follow thanka gorgeous😍
oh my god !thank god for this video to solve my mystery!!! thanks, BBC!! I live in Malaysia and there are lots of foreign workers here, Almost all of them (men and women) always spot this look every day. I used to think it's their traditional medicine for acne, now I know it's sunblock lol.
Check the vid we did on it here: ruclips.net/video/cVV7ikkv2fY/видео.html
I mixed Thanakha lotion with aleovera gel to make a cream for my daily face cream it's really so good.
It's really good for skin
So cute. ☺️
It so weird reading subtitles for a language you understand.
This must be how Japanese people feel when they watch anime subbed
@@godfii ikr
We, NE Indians, do it too!
I like thanaka
Is good for skin
HELLO BBC!!!!!!!!
Nice product
It's an old tradition of Burmese since they settle and it's due to UV radiation heat of sun light,which is extremely hot almost the year Burma has a hot temperature than neighbors and they need this tanakha as to protect from it. When you put it will comfort you before sun, like your faith has made you heal....
So is this just a cheaper form of foundation or is it for acne?
The video didnt go in depth about the benefits of this root on skin.
Wow organic
Myanmar thanaka is the best in quality(ordour /texture /effect).It have to freshly made - thanaka wood grinding on stone plate(kyuak pyin).
Myanmar people are beautiful!
Thank you so much for your compliment 😌.., because I'm Burmese and I love to put Tanakha ...., When put Tanakha I feel comfortable..,
I also wears thanaka
1:07 Hmmm.........
How to order for sell in indonesian
Got a new start-up idea 😂😂
Super natural cosmetic

Stick with the culture/tradition 💯❤️
I want some in VietNam
Also very popular here in Northeast India.
The best Thanaka powder that I have found is from The Thanaka Co.
I bought the powder but it looks very orange like turmeric not beige the way I’m seeing it in the videos. Is it authentic? There are no instructions! How do I mix this to create a paste for the face as sunscreen please?
I am malaysian..im also put this all over my face
Kat Malaysia pun ada ke?
Hello Aira! Do you ever use it as a setting powder over makeup?
How to use thanaka powder on face?
@@Aim201 haah adee jee
@@dezzid.2558 never..😅 normally i use before sleep..
😳👍🏻
I really wanted to try thanaka powder and am searching for a reliable source to buy from. Does anyone have any recommendations? Last month I ordered a bag of powder from Truly Thanaka. They never sent me my tracking number for my shipment after saying they would. I reached out multiple times to find out where my package was or if I could get a refund. My messages have gotten no response. I spent about $40 including trackable shipping and have gotten nothing in return. If anyone knows of another brand to try please let me know here in the comments. Thank you.
They don’t cost that much tbh I live in in New York and the store I buy my thanaka from only cost me $5 they mostly sell them in the Asian store (example: Vietnam or Burmese store)
Don't buy powder. They are a scam, buy logs. A log lasts you about a month. And the are only like 10 bucks. Trust me I am Burmese.
Koto khone lagia rakte hobe
I want order. How can I do?
I get mine from The Thanaka Co. you can search for them
😊😊😊😊😊💕💕💕💕
How to buy in india mam ple🙏
The Thanaka Co.
Welcome back to *Why did youtube recommend this video - Part 1111*
Dannoyingdevil because myanmar tried to genocide innocent muslims without any reason and we’re all equal
Jamison payot Swaney r u a Muslim?
Jamison payot Swaney ur saying is like: oh I see American car, and you start talking about ww2 or something like that for no reason.
Where can i buy this?
@Myanmar 😂😂😂
Asian shops.
in sg there are girls who wear this. now I know why but I dont get it. why its not evenly distributed in all parts of the face?
Jachinoy15 They apply a thin layer all over the face first, then apply more on thickly on certain parts of the face to create patterns.
In cities, teens and adults apply evenly on the face, just as it is or as foundation b4 make up. Kids and ppl in countryside draw patterns.
hey you welcome morocco
B21
Omggg they look like Filipinos 😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗 I'm Filipino
Uhmm is this your first time seeing your Asian neighbors?
@@dekaorange9611 fr
I wear it here in the US n people me why am I wearing mud? I don’t as offended 😂
maybe you can get it popular in the US if you keep wearing it outside
well do!
Same lol
So funny😁..., Really?.., Don't they really know it's Tanakha...?
Does anyone know if Thanaka has skin bleaching properties? I want to get some but I’m worried that I’ll buy one that could bleach my skin :/
No. Not at all
No it wont bleach your skin. Go try some from The Thanaka Co. its 100% pure and authentic top grade
Hii..I'm from kerala..I want this..where I can get this..pls help❤❤
I oder my thanaka from The Thanaka Co. you can search for them. Its 100% real and top grade
@@CELEBFACTOR can I get the bark of the tree and not the powder..I used the powder and it have no result
@@jubitjerrit5665 you need to get the real powder not some cheap rubbish. This powder has results for me and is real thanaka. Most others are fake or mixed and not 100% pure.
Real early man techniques...
So thanaka is basically like sunblock for them.. And why dont they put it evenly on face instead of putting it thickly on the cheek?
Dzikrina Saira They apply a thin layer all over the face first, then apply more on thickly on certain parts of the face to create patterns.
Oh okay thank you for the explanation :)
Does pure form of thanaka powder helps in hair reduction?
Why only put it on their cheeks not the whole face? Their forehead needs this too
Im here because of Tiktok transformation and wonder what it is.
Thanaka is basically what makes acne and stuff go away naturally
It also makes your skin light sometimes if dark
Why wear it this way,the whole day
This is hair remove?
No...there is another product from Myanmar that is a paste as well for that
what is this comment section even lmao
Woah, a Myanmar person who listens to future funk!!! oh god! people like you are RARE here!
Thanatka=သနပ်ခါး species is the Myanmar' original species. Thanatka wood & wearing culture are originally only from Myanmar(usual burma).Please Remember Thanatka =Myanmar'origin.We even eat it.Thanaka wood is similar to sandal wood.
Will I get the original bark of that tree..pls
Have you notice that they don't have any bad skins
what kind of wood do they use for thanaka..?
I’ve used sandalwood with yogurt in a face mask before, it smells good and feels good for my* dry skin. Is this sort of similar?
Edit: I saw somebody else post how South Indians do this ^^ too which is sort of similar (to thanaka) and so wanted to add that I didn’t mention mine had tumeric too and I got the idea from my mother (South Indian). So go figure~
Ground wood apple tree can use for thanaka
😂😂 the name of the wood is tanakha and it's from tanakha tree with tanakha leaves and tanakha roots 😂😂
Wow lots of ignorant people in comments
Agreed
BBC IS ALL WE NEED
...my everything.
यह सफेद चंदन की लकड़ी जैसा लग रहा है ,इसे घिस कर लगाया जाता है ।
myanmar girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are very pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so its really just skin whitening?
its like a foundation maybe
Kind of like Sun screen
More like sunscreen and also fights skin impurities.
Yes it does make your skin light.
Bawi Fitness No it doesn’t, it just protects your skin from the sun, and works as a foundation.
I eat thanaka bark
🤓🤓🤓🤓
I love thanak bark i both 7 thanak bark today for my birthday.🤑🤑🤑
I used this thanaka and it made my face so dry and irritated.
They look similar like Khasi people of India
I think this is ghost 👻
I-WANT--TANEKA
Who is really controlling the UK ….
What type of heathen madness is this ?
RussiaNukesAmerica3 it’s not madness. It protect the skin from the sun and if u got a huge ass pimple wear it over night n trust me the next morning the pimple never existed. Curology and proactive ain’t shit. Don’t be ignorant
Shar Paw Ok, I'll try it.
thanaka will not give you beautiful skin. believe me
it differs from a medicinal purpose thanaka and thanaka for beauty purpose. depends on what you use. most of the time, we cant really differentiate them so yeah..kinda sucks.
@@min6082 Just use 100% natural thanakha tree barks.
Oh I thought it was granades
Paul Thompson 😂
Chandan laga ke ghum rahi .padh lo ye sab karne se kaam nahi dega
Ohhh wow, that's amazing. No wonder xD. When I first came across someone from Myanmar wearing it. I was like "Huuuh?! What happened to your face?" XDDD Now I see the benefits.
Nisa a Inkhelh dawn in kan inhnawih thin hahaha..BBC ve pawh hi a.. Haha
kan nuih huk chu 😂
More BBC pointless bobar.
This Magnificent Thing Hahahaha the journalist was lazy with the story
The only good thing Myanmar can be proud of.
Fun fact: Somewhere in Africa, they used cow poop to maintain their hair
@Seth FREAKIN Rollins yeah, and africa too I'm not sure it's Angola or Kenya
So I guess that Genocide ended lol.
Genocide? A potential genocide was prevented when the Burmese acted to put a stop to the coordinated campaign of attacks on Burmese villages and murders of Burmese citizens that was started by jihadis.
@@heysupermanlook996 Where did you pull that out of? Oh your ass you say.
@@heysupermanlook996
You uderstand that they treat all there minorities like that the only reason they have support this time is cause its against Muslims.
Ar Ss So would you stand and watch as rebels kill your People? And the rohingya started attacking the police stations when we don’t do anything

Speaking of Rohingya, remember the fact that on going conflict in Myanmar is a product of Colonialism, when the nation was put inside Greater India, when several million immigrants poured into small homogeneous country in long Colonial era, including those from Bangladesh with 170 million people, had been sending millions of illegal immigrants into Myanmar for ages that Myanmar has declared national emergency in Rakhine State ever since early 1980s, but Western news medias ignored it all, as Myanmar had been boycotted by the West, when impoverished country turned to Socialism after long painful Colonial era; and as a result, hardly any one out of Myanmar knew truths. besides, tragic ridden Myanmar had been suffering for centuries; first under British Colonialism, when the nation was placed inside Greater India, thus around 8 millions immigrants moved into small homogeneous country in long Colonial era; secondly through boycotted by the West, as impoverished Myanmar turned to Socialism for a relief. In fact, Myanmar has a sad saying that goes 'A poor young girl got raped and get hurt twice', referring to their nation's double tragedies. Myanmar also endured the worst immigration onslaught under long & painful Colonialism, when several million immigrants poured in, as small homogeneous country was put inside Greater India; while neighbors such as Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam under French Colonialism had no immigration issue at all. Like I said, there's hardly any Muslim, Hindu or Christian in Myanmar up until Colonialism, when the small homogeneous country was placed inside Greater India, and several millions South Asian immigrants poured in; while neighbors such as Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam under French Colonialism had no immigration issue at all. Google "Long Live Indochina/China Daily" for plain truth.

Where are all the African and Middle Eastern people in Myanmar? Why don't they have multiculturalism like we do? Does this make them racist?
