Skincare That Hits Different: Tatcha’s No-Fuss, All-Gain Summer Routine
Let’s get real—living in Malaysia means sweating it out under the sun 24/7. Whether you’re darting between café meetings or chilling by the beach, your skin takes the heat. Literally. And if you think your usual routine’s cutting it, think again.
Enter Tatcha—a brand that doesn’t just talk about skincare, but lives it through centuries-old Japanese beauty wisdom. Their summer ritual? Four power moves: Purify. Brighten. Nourish. Protect. It’s not complicated. It’s just smart.
Here's how to beat the heat without losing your glow:
STEP 1: PURIFY
The Matcha Cleanse (150ml), RM230.00
This cleanser is a game-changer for anyone tired of squeaky-clean formulas that strip the soul (and your skin’s barrier). The Matcha Cleanse leans on Japanese Kyo Matcha and Mugwort to tackle oil and clogged pores—without the harshness. “Unlike traditional BHA formulas, this gentle yet effective blend uses Coix Seed and Willow Bark to decongest and refine without stripping skin.” Basically, it sets you up for the rest of your skincare—and helps your makeup stay loyal all day long.
STEP 2: BRIGHTEN
The Brightening Serum (30ml), RM500.00
If your Vitamin C serum’s ghosting you after two weeks, it’s time for a real one. This brightening powerhouse was born in the Tatcha Institute (yes, that’s a thing) and it brings the receipts. Think: 12-hour time-release Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid, and an antioxidant booster. “Developed by the Tatcha Institute in Tokyo, it stays potent on the skin while remaining gentle enough for daily use.” Use it consistently and you’ll start seeing a glow that doesn’t quit.
STEP 3: NOURISH
The Water Cream (50ml) or The Dewy Skin Cream (50ml), RM510.00 each
Two creams, two vibes. One goal: skin that looks like you drink two litres of water and sleep eight hours (even if you don’t).
For oily-to-combo skin: The Water Cream is light, bouncy, and infused with wild rose and leopard lily for a soft-focus finish.
For drier types: The Dewy Skin Cream delivers that lush, glazed-donut energy thanks to Japanese purple rice and hyaluronic acid. Both are loaded with Hadasei-3™, Tatcha’s fermented superfood trifecta for that youthful flex.
STEP 4: PROTECT
The Silk Sunscreen SPF 50 (50ml), RM360.00
This isn’t your typical SPF that leaves a chalky mess. The Silk Sunscreen is a mineral formula, but it wears like a dream—completely invisible, even on deeper tones. “No white cast, no greasy residue—just smooth, luminous protection.” With Zinc Oxide, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and Silk Extract, it shields you from UV damage and pollution while doubling as a hydrating, skin-barrier booster.
Bottom line? This isn’t just skincare—it’s survival mode with style. Tatcha’s summer lineup isn’t trying to be everything to everyone. It’s just damn good at what it does. Four steps, all killer, no filler.
