High Rise Skin: The 2026 Beauty Trend—And Why Danucera Cerabalm Is the Perfect First Step
According to Marie Claire, 2026 is all about High Rise Skin, a trend coined by celebrity makeup artist Daniel Martin. This trend prioritizes far more than the skin’s finish. This architecture inspired moniker is built on the idea that your skincare is the foundation of beautiful skin, and that makeup builds upon that foundation. The end result is smooth, even skin that is radiant but not overly shiny. This look is dependent on skin health, not on an excess of highlighter.
The first step for High Rise Skin is your cleanser. The cleanser must be gentle, but able to remove makeup and debris, all while keeping the skin balanced and hydrated. Marie Claire’s go to choice is the Danucera Cerabalm. This ceramide and botanical infused cleanser melts away makeup and SPF, while leaving the skin soft and fresh.
“Easily the most versatile product in my collection, this balm works as both your first and second cleanse. Apply it to dry skin to remove makeup and sunscreen, and add a little water to transform it into a milky wash.”

The next most important step is a refining toner, such as the D22 Tonic. An exfoliating toner helps to smooth texture, minimize pores, and keep the complexion balanced.
Finally, the skin must be properly hydrated to seal everything in. A nourishing, anti-aging moisturizer like Cream Supreme helps to maintain a healthy skin barrier, while also imparting the delicate glow that defines the spring 2026 trend.
This new trend of High Rise Skin fits in perfectly with the Danucera ethos, where building a potent, concise routine is the root of looking effortlessly polished and radiant.
