I've discovered my dream winter moisturiser that leaves my skin plump and glowy
Offering intense hydration for thirsty skin, Tatcha's Dewy Skin Cream is our beauty writer's go-to for a radiant complexion
I've tried a multitude of moisturisers, from drugstore to high-end, but none of them ticked all the boxes of my unpredictable combination skin's needs - that was until I tried Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream...
In my opinion, Tatcha has created one of the best face moisturisers available on the market. Founded in 2009, the brand rose to popularity boasting a stellar lineup of luxury Japanese skincare, in particular gaining traction for their best-selling Dewy Skin Cream a decade later. Despite the moisturiser in question only being a recent addition to my skincare arsenal, its results are so impressive that it has secured a place in my daily regime.
Offering the smooth, plump and radiant complexion that I've been longing for, as well as a much-needed dose of hydration as the temperatures dip, here's why the cult classic Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream is now my go-to winter moisturiser...
Why Tatcha's Dewy Skin Cream is the moisturiser I've been dreaming of
Coinciding with the rise in popularity of the glass skin trend, Tatcha's Dewy Skin Cream gained cult status in the beauty world thanks to its hydrating and glow-boosting formula. As for its luxurious packaging, the moisturiser is housed in an opulent, heavyweight lilac pot, equipped with a beautiful gold metal spatula located on its lid.
While I'm an avid user of this moisturiser (trust me, I'll never stop raving at how impressive it is), it's also rumoured to have a number of celebrity fans, including the likes of Meghan Markle and Jennifer Aniston...
RRP: £67 for 50ml
If you're seeking to achieve a glowing-from-within complexion, then look no further. This best-selling cream is formulated with a cocktail of Japanese botanicals, such as purple rice, Okinawa algae and ginseng, plus hydrating hyaluronic acid, to help boost the skin barrier, leaving the complexion feeling balanced and looking luminous. This radiance-boosting moisturiser not only offers long-lasting hydration but also protects your complexion from the effects of pollution. Whether used in the morning or the evening, this rich textured cream is perfect for quenching thirsty skin.
The clue is in the name when it comes to this gem, which unlocks a healthy and dewy complexion. It hydrates dry patches on my combination skin excellently, without any irritation or leaving a greasy film. Although it boasts a hefty price tag, a little does go a long way, with just a pea-sized amount needed to moisturise your entire complexion.
For the most part, the formula dries down to a comfortable tackiness while also locking in the moisture all day long, leaving my skin with a supple bounce. Personally, I've had great success when using this cream as my daily morning moisturiser. Whether I'm having a no-makeup day or opting for full coverage, its hydrating formula makes a perfect base for makeup - especially as it doesn't pill.
