"To say my skin has been hurting is an understatement. Between the quick shift to wintery weather in New York and the pre-existing dryness of my cheeks, I'd been in search for masks, moisturisers, serums — basically anything — that can calm the irritated areas of my face. Tatcha The Indigo Cream Soothing Skin Protectant ($85) is the one cream that has been emollient enough to do that for me with long-lasting results. Immediately after applying the buttery cream, my skin feels soothed, and looks less red. My skin doesn't just absorb it either — it will actually stay hydrated all day (until I apply it again)." — JC
