Tatcha's new "Kissu Lip Mask" has received rave reviews thus far, with users commenting on its hydrating abilities and silky smooth texture.
Tatcha is a Japanese skincare company with many products specifically designed to be gentle yet effective for sensitive skin. The founder, Victoria Tsai, was inspired by the beauty rituals of geishas, and she decided to create a line of products founded on these traditions. They work with scientists and dermatologists to develop their formulas, and they stand by their “Purity Promise” for all of their products: they never use harsh ingredients like parabens or synthetic fragrances.
What’s the difference between this lip mask and classic chapstick? And what makes the formula unique? While chapstick can be worn throughout the day to help prevent the lips from getting dry, the Kissu Lip Mask is actually best for overnight use. But if your lips are in need of some serious TLC, you can use it during the day as well. It’s a jelly that feels like honey going on, and while the formula is thick, the texture is not sticky or oily. As you sleep, it sinks into the lips, and when you wake up in the morning, your lips will be looking (and feeling) soft and smooth.
The secret healing ingredient is Japanese peach seed. Traditionally, some Japanese women incorporated peach seeds into their skincare routines by chopping them up and mixing them with oils to moisturize. Today, the Kissu Lip Mask can do that work for you. The formula also includes soothing camellia oil and different types of rose extract.
The lip mask may be on the pricier side—the retail price is $30—but one container will last a long time, as you only need to use a little bit each night to see positive effects. It even comes with a tiny spoon to help you measure out the perfect amount each time you use it. The Kissu Lip Mask is currently on sale through the QVC online store.
