Significado
Cleaning the face with water.
Contexto cultural
The morning face-wash is traditionally linked to 'Siri' (auspiciousness). It's believed that washing your face in the morning brings good luck for the day. Using a foot towel to dry your face is a major social taboo in Thailand due to the spiritual hierarchy of body parts. During the Thai New Year, washing the face of elders with scented water is a way to ask for blessings. The concept of 'Nâa Săi' (clear face) is a dominant beauty standard, making face-washing products a massive industry in Thailand.
