Q&A

Is this a physical or chemical exfoliant?: The Rice Polish is a soft and gentle chemical exfoliant that uses rice enzymes to help decongest pores and improve the texture to your skin.
Can this be used as a face cleanser? I also have tried the rice wash and I wasn't sure if they were interchangeable?: The Rice Polish is an exfoliating cleanser that you can use as your only cleanser, or used after The Rice Wash.
Is this product safe to use during pregnancy? How about the rest of the products at the same line? Thank you !: All of the pieces if our collection are formulated to be pregnancy-friendly. If you have any questions about a specific ingredient please email customercare@tatcha.sbs
Do I need to use the Rice Wash first before the Rice Polish? Or I can use either of them independently?: Thank you for reaching out. You can use them independently, or if you want to double cleanse with a second exfoliating step, you can use the Rice Wash first followed by the Rice Polish second. Both are gentle enough to be used twice a day, everyday. We hope this helps!
Is there a way to dry out if water gets in the container?: We do not recommend allowing water to get inside the contain as it will compromise the product. Instead, leave your Rice Polish outside the shower and use it at the sink. This will ensure it does not get wet. We hope this helps.

Dewy Skin Cream Dupe

Dupes have never been more popular, but we believe you get what you pay for. They can be wonderful for some types of products, but with a lack of clinical testing, proven ingredients, and proprietary formulas, we worry skincare dupes aren’t worth the lesser price tag. Many have tried to dupe Tatcha’s beloved Dewy Skin Cream, but there’s a reason they can never compete with the original: Hadasei-3. This proprietary formula is the secret to why the moisturizer (and all other Tatcha moisturizers) feel so decadent and hydrating, and why it’s undupable. If price is the barrier, you have better options than a dupe: Start with the mini, refill instead of repurchasing, and use Subscribe and Save once it earns a permanent place in your routine.

The Best Face Products for Dewy Skin

Dewy skin is popular for good reason: it appears luminous, hydrated, fresh, and naturally radiant. Tatcha has spent more than a decade researching and formulating skincare designed to support hydrated, naturally radiant skin. The best products for dewy skin depend on your skin type, preferred texture, and desired benefit. Essences can help prepare and soften skin, serums provide targeted hydration, moisturizers seal in moisture, mists offer an immediate refresh, and face oils add finishing radiance. You do not need every dewy skincare product to create a luminous finish. Start with a moisturizer suited to your skin type, then add an essence, serum, mist, or face oil based on the level of hydration, texture, and radiance you prefer.

Achieve Dewy Skin With These Hydration & Oil Control Tips

The key to dewy skin is proper exfoliation, oil control, and drenching the skin in multiple layers of hydration-focused skincare. To achieve dewy skin, exfoliate regularly and apply successive layers of hydrating products in the following order: essence, serum, moisturizer, and finally either sunscreen (in the daytime) or facial oil (in the evening). If your skin tends to get oily, managing excess shine can help maintain a dewy rather than greasy-looking finish. Use oil-absorbing products that manage long-term oil production, then blotting papers to temper oil throughout the day. Dewy skin can’t be achieved without a healthy lifestyle, though: restful sleep, eating a well-balanced diet, and managing stress not only make your skin more radiant, but also contribute to overall health and well-being.
