Jello Skin" Is the Summer Beauty Trend Sweeping TikTok
"Jello skin" is the latest beauty trend sweeping TikTok.
The skin-care trend is about plump, bouncy, healthy-looking skin.
It was coined by creator and beauty enthusiast Ava Lee.
A few years back, K-beauty brought glass skin to us, and everyone embarked on a quest to get their most luminous, translucent skin yet. Though glowy skin is still very much in, a new skin-care trend called "jello skin" is currently sweeping TikTok. Coined by content creator and beauty enthusiast Ava Lee, aka @glowwithava, the trend focuses on achieving skin that's not only glowy but also healthy and plump.

What Is Jello Skin?
"By definition, jello skin is having skin that is so elastic that when you move it, it bounces back, just like jello," Lee tells POPSUGAR. It's not just about external skin care but also internal wellness. That includes eating balanced meals and living a healthy lifestyle to nourish your skin from the inside out.

Lee came up with the term after getting a facial with celebrity aesthetician Lord Gavin McLeod-Valentine, who treats the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss, and Rosalía, to name a few. "He was impressed by how much collagen I have in my skin and how bouncy it was," she says. "Although coined after this facial, the process of getting this kind of skin was a long time coming."

Lee explains that "jello" is actually an acronym. "J" stands for journey, as it's "not an overnight change"; "E" stands for "eat balanced meals"; the first "L" is for "lifestyle, not just skin-care"; the second "L" is for "laugh" to encourage you to "move your facial muscles"; and lastly, "O" stands for "old is not bad — age gracefully with plump skin."
