Soft, smooth, and supple—there’s a good reason why mochi skin is becoming a new favorite in the beauty world. Named after the popular Japanese dessert that’s known for its baby-soft, bouncy, velvety matte texture, mochi hada, as it’s called in Japan, has long been one of the hallmarks of Japanese beauty.
Attaining it is also deeply rooted in Japanese beauty philosophy that focuses on keeping the skin healthy and well-nourished in simple, doable ways. After all, a classic Japanese beauty skincare regimen doesn’t involve multiple steps or aggressive techniques. Instead, it’s only comprised of a few steps that are easy to integrate into any beauty routine that includes thorough gentle cleansing followed by multiple hydrating and moisturizing layers.
One of the first things that we need to understand about achieving mochi skin is that it’s anchored on that youthful resilience that comes naturally when there’s an abundance of water-pushing substances like hyaluronic acid on the skin. This is something that face lotions can help with. There’s no specific equivalent to face lotions but they are like skin conditioners. Applied after cleansing, they soften the skin, perform a few extras, and more importantly, hydrate the skin. Face lotions are usually packed with humectants that attract water from the air to hydrate the skin.
When it comes to their face lotion, the Japanese trust Hada Labo, which sells out a bottle every five seconds. Its key ingredient is hyaluronic acid that’s known for retaining water in the skin. The Gokujyun Hydrating Lotion, Japan’s #1 face lotion and Hada Labo’s star product, is infused with 4 types of hyaluronic acid to form a layer of moisture retaining barrier and protect skin from moisture loss. There’s also the Gokujyun Hydrating Light Lotion that has the same formula, but tweaked a bit for oily or combination skin with its light, non-greasy texture.

Both face lotions are formulated with Japan’s High-Performance Penetrating and Deep Moisturizing Technology to get that soft, smooth, and supple mochi skin. To effectively apply the face lotion, pour enough amount on your palm and gently pat on skin until it’s fully absorbed and your skin slightly sticks to the palm of your hand.
Gokujyun Hydrating Face Wash is an ultrafine foam that gently washes away impurities, dirt, and oil without drying or irritating the skin
Since achieving mochi skin is all about hydration, it’s best to pair your face lotion with products that can also hydrate the skin in every step of the routine. The Hada Labo Gokujyun Hydrating line also offers matching products to further help you achieve mochi skin: Gokujyun Hydrating Face Wash, an ultrafine foam that gently washes away impurities, dirt, and oil without drying or irritating the skin; and the Gokujyun Hydrating Light Cream, a light watery texture that’s meant to lock, replenish, and store moisture deep in the skin, layer after layer.
