J-Beauty Brand Tatcha Is Offering 20% Off All Skin Care & Makeup for Black Friday 2021
We may never forget the adorable Animal Crossing promotion that accompanied The Rice Wash‘s launch. But the product alone — a non-stripping cream cleanser — has keeper-worthy status. Japanese rice powder and microcrystalline cellulose ensure your skin is completely rid of makeup, sunscreen, and dead cell buildup, while hyaluronic acid and Okinawa algae soften and boost moisture levels. In essence, it creates a clean slate for the rest of your skin-care products to absorb deeply and properly.
Serums & Masks
The fragrance-free Violet-C Brightening Serum is formulated with two types of vitamin C stabilized by antioxidant-rich Japanese beautyberry. Mild AHAs derived from seven fruit extracts (i.e. grapefruit, orange, and jujube) join the party and remove dead cell buildup to reveal softer, more radiant skin. And then there’s Japanese angelica root, which fades the appearance of hyperpigmentation. This might just be the star of your nighttime routine.
There are so many good things to say about The Essence but we’ll start off by sharing that it won a 2020 Allure Best of Beauty Award, so it has our (very passionate) stamp of approval. Our reviewer said that it instantly plumps up her tired, stressed skin. Apart from the usual suspects of moisture-boosting green tea, rice, algae, and glycerin, it contains a secret weapon: yeast. That’s right, its fermentation process naturally produces lactic acid (a type of alpha hydroxy acid or AHA), which speeds up skin-cell turnover for baby-soft skin.
Tatcha’s Limited Edition Kissu Lip Mask comes in a festive jar and hue inspired by the red camellia flower. Treat your cracked lips to this moisture-boosting and line-smoothing treatment spiked with squalane and Japanese peach extract.
You’ll come for the creamy, lavender formula and stay for the major brightening benefits. We’re talking about the Violet-C Radiance Mask, which leaves skin looking absolutely brilliant. Similar to the Violet-C Serum, it also contains Japanese beautyberry, two types of vitamin C, and 10 percent AHAs to gently but effectively resurface skin. Apply a generous layer, treat yourself to a warm cup of tea for 15 to 20 minutes, and rinse off. Dullness, your time is up.
Moisturizers & Creams
Selena Gomez is a fan of the Dewy Skin Cream, so we use the Dewy Skin Cream. Ideal for dry skin, it plumps up skin with long-lasting hydration via a concoction of Japanese purple rice, an Okinawa algae blend, and hyaluronic acid. It also sits beautifully underneath makeup and makes your foundation glide on like a dream.
