It is true that the skin of the Thai people react sensitively to sunlight. Many northeastern farmers develop dark patches on their face, like big freckles, but definitely not as cute. The only way to avoid that is to avoid the sun. Once you've got them, they won't go away, but you can minimize them by covering your face.

I think the obsession with spf 50+ has something to do with excessive commercials of the product's power to make you whiter, and the message these commerical send that looking whiter is better.

I like Asian skin color, too!
