Why would talcum powder be put on mexican children's faces?

I was watching an Anthropology video for my college class @ home %26amp; they pointed it out in the video that the 2 middle school boys were going to school w/talcum powder on their faces, but not the reason why they were doing so.Why would talcum powder be put on mexican children's faces?
Maybe they had a rash?Why would talcum powder be put on mexican children's faces?
Some superstitious people believe that talcum powder on the face purifies the bloodstream...
Rash.





In the Bahamas we overdo it, white powder creeping out under collars...we swear by it...like its some cure all.





Maybe they think like Bahamians.
It may have been for their ';Day of the Dead'; celebration.
iv never heard of that
lol. That conjures funny images...Talcum powder is an English abomination- to absorb sweat. Isn't it?
