Why Jelly Beauty Products Are Having A Moment

There’s a surprising new texture taking the beauty world by storm – jelly. With a lightweight formula that is both cooling and hydrating, jelly textures are the perfect choice to refresh summer skin. These products are easy to use, simple to blend and deliver a dewy complexion all day long whatever the temperature. If you want to switch up your skincare this summer - this is the texture to try.

Jelly textures have been hugely popular in Asian cosmetic companies for years, and now, we’re starting to see a steady stream of innovative new buys over here, too. They flood your skin with more moisture than cream or milk textures, keep skin looking quenched all day long, and have bouncy textures that not only provide seamless application, but are super satisfying to touch, too. Expect impressive colour payoff, breathable coverage and a finish that dries down fast. Keen to try the trend? Get busy with any one of these 12 here…
