It’s easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day: wake up, go to school, go to work, eat healthily, get enough sleep, workout regularly… There’s a lot we’re supposed to do every day, and sometimes it’s hard to want to do those things. That’s why I started to romanticize my life.
In books, movies, and tv shows, everything a character does can seem romantic from the outside. Picnics seem quaint, cute, and fun until the sun is too hot, the grass is itchy, ants show up, and you forget the forks. As an opposite effect, you can take the mundane tasks of everyday life and turn them into romantic vignettes of your life.
One thing I have trouble committing to is a consistent skincare routine. I know taking care of myself and my skin is important, but I don’t always make it a priority. That’s why I started using Tatcha’s skincare products to romanticize my skincare routine.
I love Tatcha. It’s one of those skincare brands that works for everyone because the products are of such good quality, so effective, and absolutely luxurious, not to mention aesthetically pleasing for any bathroom counter. I’m going to take you through my top three Tatcha skincare products that I use to romanticize my skincare routine, and hopefully, it inspires you to give yourself some TLC, too.
I start with Tatcha’s The Rice Wash. This is a cream cleanser that uses Japanese rice extract and hyaluronic acid to purify and soften the skin while still keeping it hydrated. It also uses amino acids to balance the skin’s pH levels, creating a radiant, smooth, and clear complexion.
The Rice Wash is great because it’s effective at cleaning the skin while still being gentle. When you add water it becomes a rich foam that massages into the face, and when you wash it away your skin will never feel dry and stretched out like some other moisture-stripping cleansers.
After washing, I move on to one of my favorite Tatcha products; the Luminous Dewy Skin Mask. I’ve used these sheet masks so many times before, and I really do love it because it feels like you’re completely pampering yourself. It’s made for normal to dry skin, but you can still use it even if you have oily or combination skin to help balance out the hydration levels.
You leave this mask on for 15 minutes, and I like to use a jade roller with it to help the serum soak into the skin even better. It massages your face and feels as relaxing as a trip to the spa. After you take the sheet off, massage any leftover essence into your skin so it can get all of the goodness.
These masks have ingredients like green tea, algae, and rice extract to hydrate your skin and help with anti-aging purposes.
The last step for romanticizing your skincare routine is moisturizer. After letting your skin soak in the hydrating mask serum, apply Tatcha’s The Silk Cream with its applicator to avoid contaminating the jar with bacteria from your fingers and lose yourself in the rich yet weightless gel-cream texture.
This moisturizer is infused with skin-firming, anti-aging superfoods that help minimize pores and wrinkles. It keeps the skin looking and feeling softer, smoother, firmer, and healthier with a youthful glow while making you feel like absolute royalty. Also, it helps lock in everything else that you’ve put on.
Indulge yourself in every step of your skincare routine with high-quality products and rich formulas. Romanticize your skincare and treat yourself to the care you not only need but deserve.
