Eyes being the window to the soul and all, it’s a real catch-22 that a lack of sleep, screen-time, stress, emotions, and allergies all leave their dreaded marks. Realizing (see what I did there) that video calls are going nowhere fast – our eyes will remain the focal point so I’m sharing another stellar eye cream and a few other standouts from Tatcha – a clean skincare line created with ancient Japanese ingredients.

Tatcha’s Silk Peony Melting Eye Cream ($62) is an incredibly delicate and lightweight formula that is a dream to smooth on. It plumps, provides superb hydration, diminishes fine lines, and evens tone. Even my extremely sensitive eyes find this ultra soothing.

Prone to redness and irritation, I’m always open to products that will calm things down. Tatcha’s Indigo Cream ($88) has been awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance and is a skin protectant that gives long lasting hydration while building a stronger, firmer skin barrier and reducing redness.

The Essence ($105) will up your skincare routine by boosting everything you put on after it. Crafted with a trio of fermented Japanese superfoods and designed to resurface, soften, and plump your skin immediately after cleansing.

Finally, I find Tatcha’s Deep Cleanse ($39) a wonderfully gentle exfoliating cleanser. An Allure Magazine Best of Beauty Award Winner, it transforms from a gel to a creamy foam finish as you work it and a little goes a long way, which makes it a great value too.

Every Tatcha beauty purchase supports education equality worldwide through their Tatcha Education Fund, which reminds me of the secret in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry children’s classic The Little Prince: what is essential is invisible to the eye. Indeed.
