Aqua-Filling Is the New K-Beauty Trend That Will Transform Your Crazy-Dry Winter Skin – MarieClaire.com

A wise male-model-cum-merman as soon as said: “Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.” He wasn’t wrong—H2O has actually constantly been the not-so-secret secret to glowing skin 💦

When skin doesn’t get hold of enough of it, complexions become dry, sallow, droopy, and simply sort of sad. And unless you are superwoman drinking every one of the water and piling on heaps of moisturizer this winter (freak!), opportunities are your skin requires much more hydration.

A 20-something crypt keeper myself, I definitely required it. Thankfully, Christine Chang, co-founder of K-beauty mecca Glow Recipe, introduced me to aqua-filling: a breakthrough in the art of not looking dry as a bone.

Aqua-filling: a breakthrough in the art of not looking dry as a bone.

Like so several K-beauty trends, aqua-filling was born straight from dermatology clinics in Korea. The inspiration was a procedure that injects hydration in to the skin for a youthfully plumped appearance, yet fear not—this approach entails zero needles 💉 .

“Volumizing the face was a trend a couple of years ago, yet just what women want now is not volume for the face, yet youthful, supple, plumped, and hydration-filled skin, described as ‘taeng taeng’ or ‘zzon zzon’ in Korean,” Chang explains.

This desire yielded a slew of moisture-binding, “anti-deflate” products that deliver bouncy, young-looking skin with new hydration technology. Among the crucial ingredients is Tremella, a fungus mushroom that possesses polysaccharides, which can easily hold up to 500 times its own water weight. It’s Among the couple of ingredients in nature that has this capacity and is said to be much more efficient Compared to hyaluronic acid in repairing dry skin. 

“As quickly as dry Tremella is resoaked, it blossoms almost instantly to its original, supple state,” says Chang. Watch this madness unfold prior to your eyes:

Are you a believer now?

A powerful antioxidant and anti-aging ingredient, Tremella can easily be discovered in a handful of K-beauty creams, but many popularly Earth Recipe’s Moisture Bound Cream. “It anchors hydration in the deepest layers for luminously plumped skin,” says Chang.

Another severe user is Primary Raw’s Doyou Azulene Gel Cream, which, believe it or not, is actually water-free. “It’s able to aqua-fill the skin along with raw bamboo sap, which mimics natural moisturizing factors discovered in skin,” she says, including that sap is just what powers the growth of bamboo—you know, that grassy stuff that can easily mature to 23 inches a day.

Teamed along with skin-soothing azulene (steam distilled from chamomile plants) and encapsulated vitamin E, the formula is fast absorbing and your-skin-will-never-be-the-exact same hydrating. Also, it comes in the coolest apothecary-like bottle.

So, dear decrepit readers, offer ’em a try.
