Skincare

Jelly skin is the latest viral skincare trend promising ultra-glossy, hydrated results. Here’s how to achieve the look — and what actually works.

After we published our initial investigation into the viral product, something unexpected happened — readers started getting in touch.

Skincare has never been bigger — or more confusing. If you’ve ever wondered what a daily skincare routine should actually look like, you’re not alone.

Sunbeds have long been controversial, but their popularity appears to be climbing again, particularly as holidays, weddings and summer events start to fill the calendar.

At the centre of this TikTok trend are two ingredients: niacinamide and hyaluronic acid—both hugely popular, but designed for very different things.

This is one of those products that quietly earns its place in your routine. Not because it transforms your skin overnight, but because the more you use it, the more you realise… your skin just looks better.

It has three ingredients, two thousand years of history, and a UNESCO inscription. Aleppo soap is the skincare secret your bathroom has been missing.

Tanning gummies are everywhere right now. TikTok swears by them, influencers are calling them a “sunless glow hack”, and brands are cashing in hard.

So when the d’Alba Piedmont First Spray Serum started popping up everywhere—TikTok, Instagram, skincare routines that promise glass skin in seconds—I paid attention. It’s one of those products that seems to blur the line between skincare and makeup, promising hydration, glow, and that elusive “lit-from-within” finish.

I was casually scrolling when I came across a moisturiser that costs £1,190 — and not even the full product, just the refill.
