I’ve never had flawless skin but I’ve definitely noticed significant changes in my complexion<\/a> in the past few years. In college, I partied all night and barely washed my face before bed, yet still managed to wake up fresh-faced and ready to face the world. Two kids and one husband later, my skin doesn’t bounce back the way it used to. So, when I heard about mochi skin\u2013the latest J-beauty skincare trend on Instagram\u2013I was intrigued. According to the experts, mochi skin is essentially Japan’s answer to Korea’s glass skin.<\/p>\n

If you’re familiar with mochi, a sweet Japanese dessert, you already know how aesthetically pleasing the plump-looking spheres are. That same bouncy appearance is exactly what most of us want for our skin: It’s no wonder that #mochiskin is already amassing thousands of hashtags on Instagram.<\/p>\n

So, when I was recently offered the chance to try RE:ERTH’s new skincare line<\/a>, I jumped at the opportunity. RE:ERTH sent me products to try for free; dubbed mochi skin-in-a-bottle, these luxurious products use two types of Japanese turmeric to regenerate, calm and hydrate<\/a> aging skin.<\/p>\n

To be honest, I’ve always been a wash-and-go kind of girl. My skincare regimen usually consists of washing my face with an inexpensive drugstore cleanser, putting on some facial moisturizer with sunscreen<\/a>, and heading out the front door. So the idea of trading my no-frills routine for a \u201creal\u201d skincare regimen seemed pretty daunting at first. However, thanks to the rave reviews all over social media about firm, supple, dewy skin, I could barely wait to give mochi skincare a try!<\/p>\n

Day 1:<\/h2>\n

There are a lot of products in RE:ERTH’s line. I mean a lot <\/em>of products! To be honest, I can barely figure out what to use first. Although part of me hopes my skin will magically transform before my eyes, my practical side knows it will take a while before I see a real difference. Luckily, I do feel a small change on the first day even if I don’t see one right away. My skin feels a little softer after testing out the Clarifying Cleanser, Calming Toner, Hydrating Gel Moisturizer, and Smoothing Eye Cream.<\/p>\n

Day 5:<\/h2>\n

I’m still not seeing any major changes yet, but I also haven’t had any new breakouts<\/a>, despite the fact that I’ve been under a lot of stress<\/a> recently. Maybe it’s the products? I started incorporating the PhytoBright supplements a couple of days ago, which promise to \u201cbrighten, even skin tone, increase skin’s resistance, and promote overall radiance from within.\u201d I’m not a big fan of vitamins, but since I occasionally slip up and fail to wash my face at night, I’m hoping they will help offset my forgetfulness. I guess only time will tell.<\/p>\n

Day 10:<\/h2>\n

Wow, what a difference ten days makes! I am literally shocked by the results I’ve seen so far. My skin no longer just feels better, it actually looks better, too. Full disclosure: I didn’t really believe anything could work this quickly, but my complexion already seems a little brighter and dewier than it did before. Maybe it’s just my imagination but, even if nothing else changes, I’ll still be happy with the outcome.<\/p>\n

Day 14:<\/h2>\n

It’s official. I’m sold. These mochi skin products are a total game-changer. I’ve never been a big fan of long, complicated beauty routines. After all, juggling work with two kids is hard enough. The last thing I need is to spend more time getting ready in the morning. But the results I’ve gotten from RE:ERTH have made me a convert. My entire complexion has evened out, my skin looks brighter and the fine lines around my eyes are finally starting to disappear. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’ve found the Fountain of Youth, but I definitely won’t be going back to my wash-and-go routine anytime soon!<\/p>\n
