i'm delighted that you are also a reader of Haley Nahman's articles! she's my first favorite writer, and tbh, her attitude towards beauty has influenced me to be make-up free, just like her :)

How funny!! I literally also just wrote about questioning my self focussed view of beauty!! Another gorgeous, thought provoking piece. You’ve only built on my hope to visit Japan one day x

Thanks for reminding me of a trip your Grandma Judie and Great Grandma Dollie made together to the Far East and brought back many beautiful things. But no sunburn!

Feel free to wear a mask! There are many cheap and comfortable ones available all over Japan. Locals will appreciate you covering up and it’ll help your rash heal quickly. Sorry, it won’t help the forehead, but use Google Translate and ask at a drugstore for help with that. Signed, 10-year expat living in a Tokyo suburb
