Paulina Ortega talked to us about how she has been dealing with it all, from bingeing episodes of Love Island to going on long runs and doubling down on skin care
Photo-Illustration: by the Cut; Photo: Courtesy of Paulina Ortega After almost eight months of “pretty normal” life in Sydney, Paulina Ortega is currently experiencing Australia’s strictest lockdown yet due to the Delta variant of the coronavirus. “Let me tell you: It is harder the second time around,” says Ortega, the co-founder and creative director behind the Manila-based, female-founded activewear brand Recess.
On her mornings: I get up around 7 a.m., and the first thing I do is make myself a cup of coffee. Then I turn on my Calm app and meditate. After that, I try to set my intentions for the day, and I crack open my emails. The Recess team is mostly based in Manila, so they don’t come online till about midday for me, which is great because it’s nice to have that quiet time to go through emails, catch up on Slack, and actually design or do some concept work.
Lately, because we’ve been in lockdown and I don’t get to walk around the city as much, I’ve been running, which I kind of hate but kind of love. I also put myself in tennis courses because it’s a solitary sport that’s socially distanced. I always wanted to get into it as a kid, but I really sucked and gave up after my first lesson so I’m trying again as an adult to rectify the things I gave up on as a kid. The outfits are a motivator too.
I love Drunk Elephant’s C-Firma Vitamin C Day Serum — that’s a game changer. I think the most important skin-care step in Australia, where our UV rays are extra strong, is definitely sunscreen. I love Supergoop!, but because the SPF rating is different here in Australia , I have shifted to local brands. I love the Ultra Violette Supreme SPF 50+ Hydrating Sunscreen. It’s not particularly glowy, but there’s no white cast and it leaves a very neutral texture on the skin.
