In addition, this paper also explains the shifts that have taken place around Banjar women's beauty treatments. The method used is qualitative ethnography. Beauty in Banjar women is a set of 'knowledge' possessed by Banjar women about beauty that they obtained from generation to generation and is a cultural heritage of the Banjar people. They have local knowledge in beauty treatments or Spa Banjar which is famous as 'timung'. The shift that occurs in Banjar female beauty treatments is a beauty institution, materials used in beauty care, and the concept of beauty.
