Korean Honey skin - what is it?

Glass skin has been a rising trend in Western countries in recent years as well. The term refers to glassy clear, translucent, glowing and even skin, which Koreans strive for not only with skin care but also with makeup.

But do you know what honey skin 꿀피부 is?

This "honey skin" term is actually much older than glass skin, and it has long been the ideal skin that Koreans strive for. The best possible compliment is to say that someone's skin looks like honey.

Honey skin is plump and healthy-looking, at best as glowing as a baby's skin.

How does honey skin differ from the glass skin trend?

Honey skin is actually a much older and more sought-after ideal skin in Korea than the newer so-called glass skin.

Honey skin practically means well-moisturized, plump, elastic and nourished skin. Glass skin, on the other hand, focuses more on blurring pores, brightness and a glass-like glow.

How to get honey skin?

In the end, you can achieve both the glass and the honey skin with very similar methods. Honey skin focuses on skin care dedication even more than glass skin. You can achieve glowing honey skin with i.e. moisturizing creams and face oils that leave your hair glowing, just like honey.
