#PARCINQBeauty: Ohana

As summer 2025 sizzles and the live action Lilo & Stitch lights up theaters, we dive deep into

island beauty with a tribute to one of its most underrated heartthrobs—David Kawena. Surfer,

fire dancer, and the ever-loyal love interest to Nani, David has become more than a background

crush—he's a symbol of calm strength, natural charisma, and effortless Hawaiian charm.

In this Parcinq beauty editorial, we reimagine David through the lens of modern skincare,

embodied by our model muse, Max Holmstrom. Tanned, toned, and kissed by sun and salt,

Max channels the spirit of David—from blazing fire shows at golden hour to serene surf breaks

at dawn.

But how does a man like David care for his skin under the relentless Hawaiian sun? Let’s

explore his routine, island-style.

MORNING: MARKETPLACE ERRANDS

Cleanse

A gentle, non-stripping cleanser—think

something foaming with tropical enzymes like

papaya or pineapple extract. Keeps sea salt

and sweat from clogging pores after a

morning paddle out.

Hydrate

A lightweight gel moisturizer, rich in hyaluronic

acid and aloe vera, restores moisture without

weighing skin down.

LUNCHTIME: SURFIN’ IN THE SUN

SPF, Always

The true hero: a reef-safe, broad-spectrum

mineral sunscreen (SPF 50). Zinc oxide, tinted

to blend seamlessly with his golden tan,

ensures Max-as-David is protected from UV

rays—whether on his board or at a beach

BBQ.

Leave-in the Protector

Leave-in, heat protectant, UV spray — the

holy trinity of beach hair care. Sun-kissed, not

sun-damaged hair.

SUNSET: FIRE DANCE

Seasalt

Towel-drying his hair post-surf (or pre-fire

show), he mists in a sea salt spray infused

with coconut water. Grit, definition, enhancing

waves without stiffness.

Tanning Oil

To highlight those fire-dancer muscles? A

shimmer-free macadamia body oil leaves skin

glossy—not greasy—with a scent that lingers

like a warm breeze.

LUAU NIGHTOUT: ADORNED WITH LEI

After twirling flames and taking center stage, the skin needs a breather.

Misting Spray

A hydrating mist with green tea helps refresh

and cool skin without disrupting that tan-linefree

glow.

Lip Balm with SPF

Often forgotten, but crucial—sun-chapped

lips are not part of David’s beach-casual

appeal.

EVENING: NOURISH & GLOW

After-Sun Serum

A cooling serum with niacinamide, aloe, and

centella asiatica soothes any redness and

calms post-sun inflammation.

Mask, Occasionally

Clay-based for a weekly detox—pulling out

volcanic buildup (literal and emotional) and

restoring balance after too many waves and

luaus.
