Details

A cleansing ritual steeped in Japanese wisdom

This special cleansing set combines the art of the tea ceremony, or otemae, with time-tested geisha beauty rituals for an elegant, effective way to care for your complexion. Individual bristles are trimmed with a razor to achieve varied lengths throughout the brush. This distinctive formation allows it to better reach pores and thoroughly purify skin. The bowl is made from compressed wood, coated in a lacquer finish.

How to Use

Transform your powder to a cloud-like foam

Sprinkle a ½ teaspoon of any Rice Polish enzyme powder into the center of the bowl, slowly add a few drops of water and use the brush to combine, producing a luxurious foam. Hold the brush perpendicular to the surface of the skin and make small, circular motions to apply the foam to the face for 10-20 seconds. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Follow with the remaining treatments in your beauty ritual.

After daily use, rinse the brush under warm running water for several seconds. Gently squeeze from the base to the tip with fingers or towel to remove excess moisture. Hang the brush on the stand to dry, bristles facing downward.

Reviews

Should have purchased it sooner

"Looking at it, I thought it would be ceramic. In reasoning, it is nice that it isn't. With soapy hands and foamy rice wash, it would have been in pieces after a couple of uses. I am happy with the purchase as cleansing my face is now easier. I always had grains when using my hands to create the foam. Now I feel like I am coating my skin with fluffy clouds."

Billie (5/5)

It’s plastic

"I am so disappointed that this bowl is plastic with a plexiglass stand. Theresa is nothing great about the brush either."

Amelia A. (1/5)

Indulgent & High Quality

"I’m so glad I bought this (I waffled for a while). The experience is so luxurious and calming, I actually look forward to my nighttime ablutions now! The bowl and brush are high quality. They are made from some sort of light wood (maybe balsa?) and gorgeously lacquered. So delicate but durable. (Ignore the comments from people saying it’s plastic, that’s not true)."

Christina (5/5)

Love it

"I love having it on my dresser surrounded by my Tatcha routine products, I hang my necklaces and stack my rings on top. It looks dope!"

Pamela F. (5/5)

Surprised!

"I purchased this on a whim, I have a full collection of Tatcha treatment and love it! Online I saw Vicki using this product with her Rice Polish and thought I would try it. I love using it it has taken my whole routine up a notch. Would definitely buy again!"

Gail M. (5/5)

Up your game!

"This is a treat I didn’t know I needed. I love the rice polish, but using it with this brush takes it to a new level. It’s like a little ritual I do at night that I find soothing. The bowl is lacquer, not porcelain, but this didn’t hurt my feelings at all. I love it! 💯"

Joyce (5/5)

Spa-like

"This tool is one I didn’t realize I needed until I bought it on a whim. I love the rice cleansing product, but I didn’t really like mixing it up with water in my palm. This tool makes that process not only easier, but better. It feels luxurious to me every time I use it. And I use way less of the rice polish. So happy I bought it. I use it everyday."

Karen (5/5)

It’s plastic, not luxury

"I LOVE Tatcha products, they’re the best on the market, and when I saw this brush and bowl set, I thought it’d be a functional item for my mask and rice polish application. I was so disappointed to see I paid $124 for plastic. I feel duped. First they take away the exfoliation cleanser and now they’re selling this item as luxury? Shame on them"

Hello! How can I do a “deeper” clean on my brush? I rinse it after every use but wanted to see it there was something more I could do to clean it!
Try soaking it in soapy water for an hour to remove any residue.

The Best Lightweight Sunscreen for Your Face
The Best Lightweight Sunscreen for Your Face

Sunscreen used to be considered thick, pore-clogging, and opaque white — but today’s iterations are impressively different. Modern sunscreen is lightweight, nearly invisible, and can actually improve the look and feel of skin. A lightweight feel is not only sensorially important, but it also helps to make the experience of wearing it more enjoyable, while encouraging you to use it daily. It’s a pleasure to use, rather than a chore.

Oily vs. Glowy Skin: How to Tell The Difference (And Get the Glow)

While oily skin and glowy skin can seem similar, they are distinctively different. Oily skin is from an overproduction of sebum from the sebaceous glands, while glowing skin gives off a natural radiance from a balanced, hydrated, and healthy skin barrier. There’s nothing wrong with oily skin, and, with a few specific products, you can take excessive oiliness and transform it into glowing, dewy skin. Utilize balancing cleansers, lightweight moisturizers, and oil-absorbing primers to help look more glowy than oily.

4 Transformative Benefits of Using the Best Face Essence

An ancient staple in Japan, essences are finally gaining popularity in the US. An essence is a watery liquid infused with skin-benefiting active ingredients that can hydrate, brighten, firm, and more. An essence is pressed into the skin after cleansing and before serums and moisturizers, and is designed for daily use. Some of the best essences for the face have dramatic benefits, including hydrating, plumping, reducing the appearance of wrinkles (as effectively as a retinol), and making the rest of your skincare products work better.
