JAKARTA - In recent years, many beauty trends have come from South Korea. However, this time something started from Japan, namely the mochi skin trend. This skin treatment is inspired by the chewy, elastic, and soft mochi cake.

According to Annie Chu, a dermatologist in Manhattan, this mochi skin prioritizes skin hydration from within and the use of simple skincare. It is very easy for beginners to follow because the series of products used are quite basic. However, if you routinely do this treatment, it is believed that the skin will be more supple, smooth, healthy, and dewy.

Here are the steps for mochi skin care:

toner

First of all, you can use a water based toner that is easily absorbed by the skin. Toner can be used after cleansing the face and is used to hydrate, soothe the skin, and make the skin fresher.

Hydrating Serum

After using the toner, the next step is to use a hydrating serum. Here, you are free to use any serum, the important thing is that it aims to make your skin hydrated. The skin becomes more moisturized and not dry all day.

Moisturizer

sunscreen

To get healthy and soft skin like mochi skin, make sure you never skip using sunscreen. Even though you often do activities indoors, the use of sunscreen is still mandatory, you know so that your skin is protected from sun exposure and the color remains evenly distributed.
