Tatcha Forest Awakening Body Care Review

I’m such a big fan of Tatcha, everything I have tried to date I have just loved, especially The Water Cream, now I'm so delighted that there is a body care range and in true Tatcha form, it has the wow factor. 
Tatcha Forest Awakening Body Care Review
The Tatcha Forest Awakening collection is based around the concept of forest bathing. The Japanese have long held sacred their connection to the natural world and Shinrin-yoku, or Forest Bathing to you and I and it involves immersing the five senses in nature and it is proven to increase well-being with benefits such as reducing stress, improving sleep and boosting the immune system.

The new Forest Awakening Body Collection is rooted in naturally healing essential oils and proven skincare ingredients to nourish the mind and soul and there is two key ingredients to note:
  • Forest Awakening Essential Oil Blend - Includes cedar, hiba, and hinoki, oils known to contain organic compounds proven to reduce stress, lift mood, and help improve well-being.
  • Hadasei-3 - Tatchas proprietary complex of double-fermented Akita rice, Uji green tea, and Okinawa algae to support the skin barrier, provide antioxidant protection and plump the skin with hydration.
So the three products within this range make up a three-step ritual and I am hoping this will soon become a quartet with the addition of a bathing product!

Starting with Step 1 - The Purifying and Polish step using the Hinoki Body Wash (£35). As a scrub it isn't overly abrasive as it uses eco-friendly cellulose to work its magic, instead of those dreadful microbeads we used to see everywhere. Add to that is the inclusion of that Forest Awakening Essential Oil Blend: Includes cedar, hiba, and hinoki, oils known to contain organic compounds proven to reduce stress, lift mood, and help improve well-being.
Tatcha Forest Awakening Body Care Review
I adored this product from the first use, its a silky smooth as a body wash can be but it does a wonderful exfoliating job and as the description states, the scent is simply magical and it just transports you to a place of calm and relaxation.

Step 2 is Nourish and for this step you need the Hinoki Body Milk (£50). Ideal for use on dry skin, this milk works to strengthen the moisture barrier as it calms and relaxes the mind for a restorative moment of self-care. 
Tatcha Forest Awakening Body Care Review
Alongside the Forest Awakening Essential Oil Blend you will also find Peach Tree Leaf Extract which is known for its ability to renew dry skin to give that smoother, healthy-looking complexion and then Plant-Derived Squalane which is a natural component of the skin’s lipid barrier which helps to lock in moisture to restore smooth, soft, and supple skin. It is hard not to love this body milk, it is lightweight, it has that addictive scent found in the body wash and it absorbs into the skin without leaving any residue behind, just lovely supple skin.

Then finally we have the third step and that is Cocoon with the Hinoki Body Oil (£61). Designed to seal in moisture and soften rough patches, this body oil is simply divine. Non-greasy, this oil again uses that Forest Awakening Essential Oil Blend and with it a Natural Hinoki Oil Blend which helps lock in moisture and provide suppleness to the skin.
Tatcha Forest Awakening Body Care Review
I use this oil after showering and often before applying the body milk because I feel my skin gets more of a benefit from the two being applied that way.   I love that it is a non-greasy oil and the scent is again, just pure magic.

As you can see, I absolutely love this range, I love the while story behind its conception, the idea of being at one with nature and of course how it leaves my skin feeling. It isn't on the affordable side of body care products but if it is a collection you want to try, then Space NK has a set of the three in a gift box for just £54 HERE and it is definitely worth trying before splurging on the full size offering.
