Hello, Jello!

We speak to the experts to find out more about "jello skin", a skincare trend that's gone viral on Tiktok, as well as the best ways to achieve the look.
Hello, Jello!

When Korean beauty influencer Ava Lee posted a now-viral video on Tiktok about how bouncy her skin looked, she started a trend known as “jello skin”. It’s exactly what you’d think it is – skin that bounces back when you touch it, just like jello would if you poke it with a finger.

Dr Melvin Tan, founder of Epion Clinic, describes this trend as skin that appears very smooth, supple and plump, as a result of displaying properties of being firm, well-hydrated and elastic, with bounce and recoil resembling jello.

He says this trend is so popular because having skin that is supple, firm and taut appears very youthful and healthy-looking. This is because as we age, our skin generally thins, becomes more dehydrated, and appears lax.

Dr Lim Ming Yee, founder and managing director of My Medical Aesthetics, adds that achieving and maintaining jello skin is a journey and lifestyle. “It’s definitely not an overnight change. Jello skin is about strengthening and nurturing the skin’s elastin and collagen to create that bouncy effect,” he says.

Dr Lim thinks it has become such a popular trend because people are constantly seeking ways to improve their complexion to appear youthful, healthy, and smooth.

“Jello skin reveals healthy skin with an optimal level of hydration and collagen, thus resulting in a supple texture and a flawless complexion. It has gained so much attention because everyone wants to have younger-looking skin,” he adds.
