Achieving mochi skin with makeup
To really achieve the goal of blemish-free, "poreless" skin, He recommends a mattifying moisturizer, like the Ceramiracle Balance Warrior Probiotic Cream, $29, with the Ceramiracle O'Cali Nature Brighten Up Hyaluronic Bomb, $29, followed by carefully chosen makeup products, like a hydrating primer with liquid foundation. A glossy makeup spray can be the finishing touch.
Franco adds that a rice-based powder could be added, too. It will enhance the pillowy texture of skin and offer a bit more coverage.
Achieving mochi skin on different skin types
An important thing to remember is that just because there's a flow to the mochi skin care trend doesn't mean the products remain the same for everyone, according to Aharon. Skin types and specific concerns, as well as preferences, should be taken into account.
Franco says that anyone with dry skin will love a mochi skin regimen. Aharon adds that dry skin types can benefit from a double cleanse with a balm or oil and a micellar lotion.
Got an oily or acne-prone complexion? Aharon suggests an oil and gel cleanser.
"Skin that tends to get congested and is more oily by nature can skip the moisturizers altogether," says Franco. "And will probably find that the essences and serums will do the job, or use an oil-free moisturizer."
He adds that a correcting moisturizer is a great way to mattify oily skin types and to avoid mochi skin appearing like it's melting as the day goes on. (Melting mochi is never good.)
