How Tatcha's Vicky Tsai Healed Her Dermatitis With Japanese Skin Care
Vicky Tsai, founder and “Chief Treasure Hunter” of Tatcha, one of the most beloved skin care brands of the last decade and one of our favorites here at Gloss Angeles. After graduating from business school and working for large corporations, Vicky spent years traveling back and forth from the states to Asia. She developed acute dermatitis and tried everything to treat her skin. During her time in Japan, Vicky discovered the world of Japanese beauty, thanks to an encounter with a modern-day geisha. She loved how pure, simple, and effective the classical Japanese beauty philosophy was and decided she wanted to share the secrets and ingredients she learned about with the rest of the world. Today, Tatcha works with scientists in both Japan and the U.S. to create formulations from scratch that honor traditional Japanese beauty practices, but are made with advanced technology and innovation.Vicky also discusses Tatcha's new Serum Stick and what makes this new launch so special. ---Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/Gloss_AngelesShop all of our product lists: http://www.shopstyle.com/shop/GlossAngelesShop Kirbie’s stash: https://www.shopstyle.com/shop/Kirbie-JohnsonShop Sara’s stash: https://www.shopstyle.com/shop/saratanGloss Angeles is co-hosted by Kirbie Johnson and Sara Tan.
