You may be familiar with the name Tatcha as it is synonymous with elegant beauty blotting papers. About 3 years ago Tatcha came out with these remarkable beauty blotting papers to absorb oil on the skin without disturbing the makeup on your face or adding a layer of powder to it either. Originally used in ancient Japanese craft of gold leafing, these Aburatorigami papers are made from 100% abaca leaf and contain flecks of gold. They are large ( about 3¾” sq.) so you can blot the face with one paper. I carry these in every handbag and keep a pack in my desk drawer. I truly feel they are a beauty necessity for me.
Not to assume that beautiful skin can only come from a beauty paper, TATCHA launched a skincare line this spring. Determined to find out the Geisha’s secret to flawless skin, which had been previously believed to have only been word of mouth, TATCHA discovered a 200 year old manuscript that was translated to reveal the beauty ingredients and rituals. This is what the TATCHA skincare line is based on; the proprietary process involving the most precious green teas, Okinawa red algae, rice bran and other time-tested ingredients.
I was sent the TATCHA Sampler Set to test the skincare line and the products are so lightweight and creamy that they feel like silk. This is an amazingly gentle skincare line that leaves the skin glowing and silky soft. This is a four-step skincare ritual.
- Cleansing – The cleansing oil is made with camellia and rice oils (NO mineral oils) and does not require a 2 step cleansing process like many other cleansing oils do. It easily melts away the makeup and dirt and yes, even though it is an oil, it can be used on ALL skin types.
- Polishing Powder – There are 3 formulas of the rice enzyme powder, Gentle, Classic and Deep, to be used as a daily exfoliant. These work in an unusual way – wet the face and the hands and pour the powder into the hand and rub together – it becomes foamy, then apply to the face. They don’t scratch like some exfoliants do, but instead the enzymes remove the dead skin cells and leave the face very soft. The Classic and Deep were my favorite formulas.
- Brightening Serum – A soft, gentle almost lotion-like texture the Brightening Serum contains green tea, red algae and rice extracts for protection against UV oxidation damage to the skin.
- Moisture Rich Silk Cream – The last step in the daily skincare ritual. I was truly shocked at how lightweight, and silky this cream is. It felt like the most expensive silk was whipped into a weightless cream. It was so silky that the small sample pot lasted me weeks!

Tasha is on everyone’s blog lately. I haven’t used the papers but am intrigued by the polishing powder. I used on in the past and it was excellent. Thank you for the contest

I love TATCHA beauty papers so I am really excited to hear about their new skincare line. I love more natural skincare so the ingredients sound perfect for me.
Wow! These products sound amazing and I would love to try them out on my dry, aging 63 yr. old, Colorado skin! I would appreciate an opportunity to enjoy their use. Thank you.
I use the blotting papers all the time! I just bought the night version of them. This sampler looks amazing. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
This looks so elegant. I would love to win this set. Thank you for the opportunity. I’d also love to know the price points.

I have always wanted to try the Tatcha blotting papers, the packaging is so beautiful! I’ve been using the Boscia papers, which are great too. Would LOVE to try the new Tatcha skincare, sounds wonderful!
I have not used Tatcha blotting papers yet, but am dying to try them!
I have never used Tatcha papers. But am interested in trying all the products!

I have never used Tatcha papers but I have very oily skin and I would love to give them a try! The whole line of skincare sounds heavenly.
I have not heard of Tatcha, but it sounds wonderful!
I received a sample of the Tatcha papers some time back in a gift box. How luxurious!
I would imagine their skincare line is over the top. I sure would like to try it!
I love Tatcha blotting papers and use them regularly. Love their size – they are bigger than most – and the way they leave your makeup intact.
I have not yet tried the Tatcha line, but I am very interested in it. The name Tatcha is popping up all over the blogosphere these days. Your review was very intriguing and I would love to try this skincare line.
I have not tried the Tatcha blotting papers yet, but reading everyone’s posts, i’m excited to try. I always had the notion that they took your makeup off..
Would be thrilled to try since I have not yet! thanks!
Although I’ve never tried Tatcha’s beauty papers, this line sounds like it was made for me! I use cleansing oil every day to get my sunscreen off, and I discovered rice powder years ago on a trip to Korea and was unhappy that it isn’t available here – only through mail order. 🙁 Getting both in one line is divine!
I have never tried tatcha beauty products before. I have seen the tatcha blotting papers at Ultra and was curious about them, but never purchased because I can get Elf blotting papers for a $1.00 at target!
I have not used the Tatcha products. Your blog makes it sound absolutely luxurious! I hope you pick little ol’ me to sing it’s praises 😉

I’ve never had the chance to try Tatcha beauty papers, we don’t have them in Denmark, so it’s the first time I’ve heard of if. Big mistake, I can see. 🙂
Lovely packaging, and it sounds so very delicious. Would love to try them, and see the impact on my skin.
