How to achieve soft, supple Mochi Skin

The Korean “Glass Skin” trend is one that has been around for quite a while and everyone loves it! From TikTok viral products to skincare routines that guarantee glowing and translucent skin, the Korean Glass Skin trend is definitely one to watch! But did you know that Japanese beauty enthusiasts also have a little skincare secret up their sleeves?

It’s Mochi Skin – the latest Japanese beauty phenomenon that’s taking the skincare industry by storm!

Mochi Skin, a raving J-Beauty trend that has its name derived from the sweet Japanese dessert, is a type of skin that looks smooth, bouncy and supple to touch. Much like the actual dessert mochi, Mochi Skin is defined by having a clear complexion with healthy skin that will ‘bounce back’ naturally with youthfulness and elasticity.

Differences Between Bouncy Mochi Skin VS Chok Chok Glass Skin

More commonly known as ‘Mochi Hada’ or ‘Rice-cake Skin’ in Japan, Mochi Skin is a soft & poreless look that is inspired by the traditional Japanese dessert. Its matte and soft texture gives the illusion of it being youthful and plump.

Glass Skin on the other hand, is defined through K-Beauty as being dewy, well moisturised and translucent in complexion – best described as being ‘chok chok’. Much like the reflective surface of a glass, having Glass Skin would mean that your skin looks poreless and clear, with a slight sheen of reflective dewiness that makes it look youthful and healthy.

So matte skin versus dewy skin – which Asian beauty trend do you love more? For us, having Mochi Skin is definitely more desirable in a sunny and humid climate like Singapore! With high temperatures and sweat-induced sunny days happening almost all year round, having bouncy youthful skin with a soft matte complexion sounds like something we’ll all love. Mochi Skin? Yes please!

How To Achieve Your Mochi Skin Goals

The best part about Mochi Skin is how easy it is to achieve it! J-Beauty skincare is all about Skinmalism. Japanese skincare helps you to achieve your skin goals with multi-tasking formulas that will fit seamlessly into your busy lifestyle – no matter what.

• Always double cleanse at the end of the day. You’ll want to remove all grime and any traces of makeup to avoid clogging skin up.
