ツヤ肌

• 読み: ツヤはだ
• ローマ字: tsuya hada
• 漢字の分解: ツヤ (gloss/sheen) + 肌 (skin) → glossy/dewy skin
• 発音: /tsɯ.ja ha.da/

意味

Dewy, glowing skin with a healthy luminous sheen; the opposite of matte skin.

ツヤ肌 refers to skin (or a makeup finish) that has a natural, healthy glow — think dewy, luminous, and fresh-looking rather than powdery or flat. It has been a dominant trend in Japanese and Korean beauty since the late 2010s, contrasting with the previously popular マット肌 (matte skin). The look is achieved through hydrating skincare, liquid foundations, and strategic highlighter placement.
