Over the past few months you might have been like…scrolling skincare TikTok or major K-beauty instagram and you’ve come across the name glass skin. The concept of glass skin is defined by a picture, you know light- almost glass- smooth complexion due to intense hydration and radiance that almost looks trans-parent.

The point is not just for beauty type or filter, it’s healthy skin that develops from within.

Below is the quick and clear step by step guide to get glass skin with effective techniques, with products that are simple to work.

1:Double cleanse for a Clear Canvas

Cleansing skin is the root of layers of super clean glass skin. Skin makeup starts with clean sis. Cleansing: The process of removing all oil-based impurities (sunscreen/makeups) and water-based dirt like sweat and dust.Second cleanse — out with the first cleanser and wash with a gentle water-based foaming or gel cleanser.

Your pores are free of grime thanks to this, and the next products will be absorbed better.

2: Exfoliate for Better Skin Texture

Exfoliation with mild dead skin cells is a clear complexion — Dullness-free glow starts here. This is so necessary for glass skin routine, as the goal is to have a smooth texture.

• Use chemical exfoliants 2–3 times per week with AHAs ( lactic acid, glycolic acid ) or BHAs (Salicylic Acid).
• Never over-exfoliate, or you will dry and irritate the skin.

3: Balance the Tone and Prepare

Toners in Korean skincare are not stripping and a toner that you use should be hydrating/soothing. Look for ingredients like:

• Hyaluronic acid
• Green tea extract
• Rose water
• Snail mucin

They even out the skin’s pH and preps it for penetrating hydration in the next few steps.

4:Essence: The soul of Glass Skin

Gentle, watery essences full of active ingredients that slake hydration and plump the skin. They are usually called the “soul” in Korean glass skin routine.

• With your hands, apply with a pat on the skin.
• Ingredient list: fermented ingredients, niacinamide, rice water.

5:Serums for Plumping Up

You need to be more targeted with this step: Hygiene, dullness or texture and pigmentation to dehydration. In order to get glass skin use serums that focus on radiance and luminosity

 Recommended ingredients:

• Brightening C (for brightening)
• Niacinamide (for even tone)
• Hyaluronic acid (for extreme hydration)

6: Moisturize for Long-term Hydration

Hydrating is in fact the heart of glass skin, using a heavy but weightless moisturizer is mandatory. Products that hydrate, but not ham face pores.

Tips:

• Gel or cream formula
• Ceramides, squalane and panthenol to the rescue in all the layers of through skincare.

Seal in everything that came before in this step for an extended luminosity.

7: Sun Protection – The Last Glow Guard

A regular glass skin routine is nothing if not accompanied by sunscreen, no matter how perfect. UV beams destroy skin cells, discolour the skin and annihilate collagen. Reapply every 2 hours in the sun.

Bonus – Korean sunscreens double as a moisturizer and primer so you can moisturize your face while applying multitasking sunscreen.

How to Keep Glass Skin All Year Long

• Drink water frequently for hydration
• Consume powerhouse foods — antioxidant rich ( berries, leafy greens and salmon);
• Sleep adequately to let the skin heal.

Stay in the same routine and your results will come with time and patience.
