Project context & references

Skincare arranged around local time

A compact skincare ritual follows local light and sleep windows rather than an expanding shelf of concerns.

Fewer actions, with a clear place in the day.

Setting
An overnight flight, an airport lounge, a hotel room, and the first dawn in a new time zone.
Value
Fewer actions, timed clearly.
Design approach
A product still life at the centre of a generous horizontal routine spread.
