Honey Skin Is The New K-Beauty Trend The Internet Is Obsessed With

by SOFIA KIM  /   December 6, 2017

South Korea has clearly cemented itself as a hub for everything skincare and beauty related, what with its innovative products and many trends that have taken the world by storm. Besides its popular seven skin skincare method and glass skin hype, there’s now another beauty trend that’s quickly garnering attention. Known as the honey skin look, it essentially refers to skin that’s plump, dewy and healthy-looking.

Achieving this supple, dewy complexion takes time and effort, so don’t expect to receive immediate results in just one day. While glass skin focuses on achieving a poreless and flawless complexion, honey skin is all about getting healthy, smooth skin with a gorgeous, glowy sheen similar to that of honey itself.

How it works: apart from hydrating serums and rich creams, using facial oils, a good toner that will restore skin’s natural pH balance and a brightening serum are key to help you achieve the coveted honey skin. Below, we suss out the products you need to achieve this sought-after complexion.
