Is Tatcha's new Dewy Milk Moisturizer the glow game-changer it claims to be? We put it to the test

As someone with combination skin — and persistent dryness around my eyebrows — I rely on a good morning moisturizer. And after testing dozens of formulas over the years, I've learned that many just don't live up to their claims.
Most feel too sticky on my skin, or don't actually have the hydrating quality I need. That's why I was so excited when Tatcha decided to launch their ever-famous Dewy Skin Cream in a lighter version — the Dewy Milk Moisturizer.
Tatcha Dewy Milk Moisturizer
Tatcha's new lightweight moisturizer is the summer essential you didn't know you needed.
It gives your skin a light glow while keeping it moisturized all day long. Plus, it's great for all skin types — even sensitive skin.

$64
Boasting the lavender packaging Tatcha is known for, this lightweight moisturizer is already my go-to summer favorite. It blends easily and gives my skin a dewy glow that lasts all day.
It has ingredients like Japanese purple rice, green tea extract, and zinc hyaluronate. Together, they're designed to deliver lasting hydration and improve your skin's elasticity.
After using this moisturizer every day for a week straight, I can safely attest that my skin feels softer and definitely less flakey.
Tatcha says the moisturizer is built for all skin types, but is particularly great for combination skin types (like me).
I only need to use a couple pumps in the morning to coat my whole face, and there's no residue once I'm done applying.
I then add a primer on top and then I'm good to apply my makeup — without worry that it will cake or stick to any dry skin.
It doesn't really have a scent, so it won't irritate those with a sensitive nose. The formula also never irritated my skin, and the best part? It gave me a glow without making me look 'shiny' or 'oily.'
The Tatcha Dewy Milk Moisturizer is now available for $64, but this new launch is set to sell out fast, so make sure you get your order in soon, and give your skin the hydration it needs.

How to pull off summer's no make-up look

No make-up make-up is the ultimate beauty oxymoron. Don't expect it to involve fewer products or any less money, but it will most definitely leave you looking your best without seeming overly made-up. In other words, it is perfect for long summer days and lazy holidays. Here's what really works. Stila All About The Blur StickNow this is a little stick of magic that goes on clear, mattifies and gives a soft-focus finish but without pigment. Use on shiny T-zones on warmer days and watch pores, unwanted shine and sweat disappear. £28.50; Merit The Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF50This tinted sunscreen has taken the beauty cognoscenti by storm this summer. Why? Because it truly works on all skin shades and gives a flattering finish, especially on sensitive and oilier skin. It's not a primary SPF but ideal for an added layer of sun protection. It looks great on the go, comes in 15 shades and is a multifunction summertime saver. £34; Erborian CC CrèmeSeeing is believing with this little beauty from the wildly popular Korean brand. It goes on looking like a moisturiser yet turns to a lightly pigmented, Instagram-esque 'Paris filter' for your face. Just recently it has been reduced in price. It comes in four shades but more are promised later this year. I tested this on This Morning and every male presenter wanted to take one home. Your skin on its best day in a tube. £38; • Caroline Hirons: Britain's most powerful beauty expert House of Hur Moist Ampoule BlusherThis is the serum soft-tint liquid blusher that took TikTok by storm as the much more reasonably priced alternative to Armani. It comes in three shades and is gorgeous: super-flattering and sheer, it blends Korean hydrating skincare with a hint of a tint. £15; Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip and Cheek StainThis lip balm goes on sheer but reacts to the pH of your lips to create a flattering, slightly intensified version of your lip colour. What's more, it acts as a lipcare balm at the same time to stave off the threat of dry, parched lips. £35, in four shades; Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh TintChanel has trouble keeping this in stock the minute the sun shines because it is such a cult product. It adds a hint of a tint, a hit of hydration and a healthy glow. Add concealer for more coverage, but this is the type of base you can wear on the beach and not look as if you're wearing a scrap of make-up (just great skin). £55, in eight shades; 19/99 Lash Tint MascaraNow this is clever: a mascara that is so subtle it can be worn in your brows too. It looks more like a lash tint as it adds colour but no volume or length, for a really natural and pretty look. It's tubing too, so no telltale smudges on hot and sweaty days. Better yet, it will rinse away with just warm water when you want. This is a brilliant Canadian brand that specialises in multipurpose products that are affordable too. £14, in three shades; • Read more beauty product reviews and advice from our experts Wonderskin FYP Translucent PowderI don't care how natural you look, you never want to be sweaty or shiny, and this totally translucent powder will work over even the most subtle base and on any skin tone. I discovered this when chatting to the make-up legend Val Garland, who keeps it in her SOS kit on set both for her own face when filming Glow Up and for models on cover shoots. £18; Glossier Shadow Stick Sometimes you need just a touch of shadow to define the eye in the lash line and in the crease of both eyes. This comes in five shades with music-themed names: try Riff for contouring – it's the ideal neutral shade that creates shadow and definition, blends easily, stays in place and doesn't really look like eyeshadow. £22; Find @nadinebaggott on Instagram and YouTube where she answers all your beauty questions

I've tried Charlotte Tilbury vs Urban Decay setting sprays in a heatwave, here's which is best

For more than a decade, Urban Decay's all nighter setting spray (£23.60, has been a holy grail product that's achieved cult status for its staying power and long wear. Charlotte Tilbury's airbrush flawless setting spray (£32, is newer but equally loved, and claims to set, hydrate and blur. Both setting sprays are staples in my make-up bag, so with the arrival of an early summer heatwave, I've put both to the test to see which can stop my make-up melting away through tube journeys, a day at the office and after-work drinks. Most make-up setting sprays, like these two, work through a polymer dissolved in a solvent. When you spray it on your face, the solvent evaporates, leaving behind a polymer 'film' that locks in make-up and provides some waterproofing. The solvent can also diffuse your make-up slightly to make it look more blended. So far, so similar. Both products are waterproof, and both promise 16-hour make-up insurance. There's so there's nothing left to do but put them in a head-to-head trial in a heatwave. How I tested I often reach for both setting sprays and use them throughout different seasons, so I already had a good sense at how they'd perform. Urban Decay's all nighter has been my go-to setting spray for almost a decade now. I've tried many others, but I always go back to it. It's kept my make-up firmly in place on my oily skin through long-gone university nights out, destination weddings and many a day at the office. If I'm wearing make-up, chances are the last step in my routine will be this setting spray. Charlotte Tilbury's airbrush flawless setting spray is a newer addition to my make-up routine and I love it for adding glow and a boost of hydration. I put both setting sprays to the test in the middle of a June heatwave. I applied my make-up at 7am and didn't reapply throughout the day when I tested them, and I kept a close eye on if my base went patchy, cream blush disappeared, or eye liner smudged.

‘I saved over £200 by swapping my pricey skincare for this Boots K-beauty brand'

With Korean beauty proving to be a big trend at the moment, I tried out key products from the viral K-beauty brand that's just launched into Boots – and I was super impressed K-beauty isn't a new trend, but we've seen a huge rise in the popularity of Korean skincare this year, with shoppers after the 'glass skin' glow its hydrating formulas are famous for. It's also now easier than ever to buy here in the UK, with a number of top brands recently launching into mainstream retailers – including the brand Beauty of Joseon, now available from Boots, and already proving to be a big hit. Keen to see what all the hype is about, I put aside my tried-and-tested skincare routine and instead reached for some of Beauty of Joseon's bestsellers, most of which retail for around the £15 mark – and I couldn't believe how glowing they made my skin look. Here's what I would re-buy... Korean skincare products are all about hydration and glow via applying multiple light layers, rather than using thick, heavy formulas, and Beauty of Joseon is perfect for this. After cleansing, I started with the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng + Retinal, £15, which feels cooling and refreshing, and ideal if you're trying to tackle puffiness and dark circles , but if probably unlikely to make many long-term improvements to dryness and fine lines. Next up was a product I'd never really used before, but which I feel made the biggest different to my skin: an essence. Glow Replenishing Rice Milk, £15.50, is designed to be patted into the skin. It's an excellent way to get extra hydration and radiance into the skin without piling on heavy layers, and I saw a noticeable glow from this. Our shopping writer Grace is also a fan, saying how one person actually stopped her in the street to compliment her glowing skin after using this. I also tried a couple of serums from the Beauty of Joseon Hanbang Serum Discovery Kit, £23, which, although all lovely and lightweight, I don't really feel had enough 'anti-ageing' ingredients as my late-30s skin needs (perhaps better suited to younger skin). This was followed by Dynasty Cream, £21, the brand's moisturiser and currently stocked in the Love Island villa, which has a gel-cream texture; I think it would be great for oily to combination skin. If you normally hate the feeling of greasy sunscreens on your face, you should definitely check out Korean formula, which are typically high factor but very lightweight – and Beauty of Joseon's are no exception. I'd probably use Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+, currently £13.95, in winter, but Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh Rice + B5 SPF 50+, also now £13.95, feels like water, and it ideal in hot weather or if you have oily skin. After using this full K-beauty routine, I couldn't believe how good my skin looked – fresh, juicy and glowing. The products that I think made the biggest difference were the Glow Replenishing Rice Milk and the Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh Rice + B5 SPF 50+ – I'll repurchase them, I'd definitely recommend looking at these ones first if you're thinking of trying the brand. I would also save a huge amount of money if I stuck with this routine. My previous morning regimen consisted of Austinus Bader The Face Mist, £76, Skin Rocks The Eye Cream, £65, Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP, £79, ALLSKIN|MED Barrier Defence Emulsion, £82, and Ultra Violette Future Fluid Superlight Mineral Skinscreen SPF50+, £38, which together comes to a rather eye-watering £340. These Beauty of Joseon products I used, however, come to around £80 in total – a saving of around £260.
