What is Mochi Skin, a Japanese skincare trend that has become increasingly popular lately, and how to apply it ? We'll explain it step-by-step!
After Korean skincare trends, we're now faced with a brand new Japanese skincare trend: Mochi Skin! Like Glass Skin and Creamy Skin , Mochi Skin immediately caught our attention and we started trying it out right away. So what is Mochi Skin and how is it applied? If you, like us, enjoy following skincare trends, we'll take a detailed look at the Mochi Skin trend in this article.
What is Mochi Skin?
The Mochi Skin trend is a skincare trend inspired by the famous Japanese dessert "Mochi." Mochi, made from rice, is a dessert that is usually very elastic and, when pressed with a finger, slightly indents but then immediately returns to its original shape.
Building on the " bouncy " quality of Mochi, the Mochi Skin trend focuses on achieving a plump and supple skin texture through good hydration . Just like Mochi itself, there are a few simple steps to follow to ensure your skin is instantly plump and supple when you touch it. If you're curious, let's get started with the Mochi Skin steps…
How to Apply Mochi Skin?
Step 1: Cleanse your skin.

Cleansing is one of the essential steps in any skincare routine. Clean skin means healthier skin. Remember, all products applied to skin free of dirt, excess oil, and makeup will be much more effective.
For the Mochi Skin trend, you can use facial cleansing gels to cleanse your skin. Our favorite is L'Oréal Paris Pure Clay Detox Gel ; its formula containing 3 pure clays and charcoal cleanses, detoxifies, and adds radiance to the skin. Because it cleanses the skin so well, you can confidently move on to the next steps.
Step 2: Apply toner.
The toning step is extremely important for enhancing the effectiveness of skincare products. Applying toner after cleansing helps to thoroughly cleanse pores. It also enhances the effect of moisturizers and serums applied on top of the toner. For this, we recommend using L'Oréal Paris Precious Flowers Toner . With ingredients derived from flowers like lotus and rose, this toner cleanses, soothes, and refreshes the skin, helping to purify it.
Step 3: Moisturize

The most important step in the Mochi Skin trend is to moisturize the skin well. When it comes to moisture and plumpness, the first ingredient that comes to mind is hyaluronic acid . Thanks to its ability to retain moisture in the lower layers of the skin, hyaluronic acid helps to plump the skin.
L'Oréal Paris Hyaluron Expert Plumping Moisturizing Cream , thanks to the two types of hyaluronic acid molecules in its formula, both moisturizes and plumps the skin. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid moisturizes and smooths the upper layers of the skin, while micro molecular weight hyaluronic acid penetrates deeper layers, providing a plumping effect. By incorporating this cream, along with the Hyaluron Expert Night Cream, eye cream, and sheet mask into your skincare routine, you can achieve a plump, "Mochi-like" complexion.
Step 4: Apply sunscreen.
The final step: Essential sun protection! One of the main damages UV rays cause to the skin is premature aging. Skin loses its firmness and plumpness, and fine lines, wrinkles, and blemishes begin to appear. Therefore, to maintain your skin's plumpness, you should make it a habit to apply sunscreen with SPF 50 every day, summer and winter .
