Tatcha Kyoto Cleanse
There’s something to be said about having a ritual at nighttime. It may seem impossible to actually take the time to properly cleanse — especially in the time of the cleansing wipe — but even with the holiday hustle and bustle, there’s just a special feeling in taking time for yourself. That’s why we’re giving (and keeping) a few Tatcha Kyoto Cleanse ($27) sets this year. One of our favorite California beauty brands is giving newbies a chance to try two of its bestsellers: Pure Camellia Cleansing Oil and Polished Classic Rice Enzyme Powder.
The two star products take inspiration from geisha and their special skincare rituals. And while modern-day women aren’t taking off layers of waxy primer and performance makeup, it’s not that much different from SPF, contour, highlight, and mascara. Melt that war paint off with the oil cleanser, which makes quick work of even the heaviest waterproof formulas. After rinsing that clean, gently exfoliate with Tatcha’s signature powder enzyme cleanser. It’s the brand’s star product for good reason: gentle enough to use every day, the powder transforms into a frothy cleanser that keeps skin smooth without damaging it or leaving it tight and taut. These mini sizes are perfect for trying out the products, which will undoubtedly lead to full-size purchases, and are also great for any holiday travel on your itinerary. Even though her products draw from centuries-old tradition, it seems that Tatcha creator Vicky Tsai knows exactly what the women of today are looking for: a little luxury and a lot of results.
