The Ritual of Spf
What daily sun protection looks like when you live somewhere the sun is non-negotiable.
I apply sunscreen before my laptop opens.
Not because it's a beach day. In Honolulu the sun arrives whether you planned for it or not, and it stopped being a beauty step a long time ago.
The Morning
Beauty of Joseon's Day Dew Sunscreen goes on before anything else. Same order every morning, same thirty seconds. The sun in Honolulu doesn't wait for coffee.
Before the Miles
Weekend runs start the same way, face first, then body, then the door. Three miles on an easy morning, seven if it's a good one. The sun at 7am here is not polite about either distance.
Three Tubes In
Day Dew started in January. Three tubes later, it's still the first thing on my face every morning. Some things just become part of the day without you deciding they will.
What Stays in Rotation
Body sunscreen rotates, Anessa most days, Sun Bum when I run out. At the beach it's reef safe, always.
The ritual stopped being a ritual a long time ago. Now it's just Tuesday.
