Korean Trend: Honey Skin

Honey skin has been a constant trend in K-Beauty and is a popular skin look to achieve. Its key point is moisturized skin that leaves a hydrated glowy look. 

What is Honey Skin?

“Honey skin (꿀피부)” is a slang term for a skincare trend that is even a popular hashtag on Instagram. Honey skin is all about achieving a dewyness similar to a drop of honey that leaves the skin poreless and baby-smooth. It is different from the glass skin trend as glass skin tends to focus more on that reflective, sheen texture from hydrated skin whereas honey skin incorporates some of the glossy look but focuses more on the suppleness and plumpness of the skin.

Products to Achieve Honey Skin

The most important step to begin your journey to honey skin is to cleanse, refresh, and clear the skin. Let’s take a look at some different products to elevate your honey skin look.

Toner

Toner is crucial for restoring balance to your skin’s pH. Adding a toner that has hydrating effects such as the Klairs Supple Preparation Toner can lock in the moisture for your skin. 

Essence

After the toner, using a deep-hydrating product is the next crucial step to achieve the dewy, glowy look needed for honey skin. A product such as the COSRX Full Fit Propolis Light Ampoule moisturizes and rejuvenates your skin, giving it a natural glow. 

Moisture Mist

Adding a moisture mist at the end of the honey skin routine is the perfect way to strengthen the skin barrier while hydrating the skin. A product such as the Laneige Water Bank Moisture Mist uses green mineral water extracted from vegetables to protect and keep your skin glowing.
