Korean Glass Skin: What Is It & How Can You Achieve It?
Korean glass skin has taken the skincare and beauty world by storm. If you haven’t heard of it, glass skin is a term for smooth, flawless and illuminated skin that bears a resemblance to a clear piece of glass. Well, who doesn’t want poreless, healthy-looking skin? This is a K-beauty trend that we can all get on board with.
So, are you ready to take your skincare routine to the next level? Read on!
HOW TO ACHIEVE GLASS SKIN?
Step 1: Double Cleanse
Cleansing impurities and makeup off your skin with a gentle cleanser is the first and most important step in this Korean glass skin routine.
Cleansing your face twice in a row is key to completely clearing your face from any blockages in your pores and the starting point to having clear, healthy skin.
Step 2: Exfoliate
Exfoliate your skin two to three times a week for a clear and ultra-smooth complexion. This removes the dull-looking dead skin cells off your face and makes room for new, healthy cells to grow in their place.
Step 3: Sheet Mask
Next up is a sheet mask.
A high-quality sheet mask can moisturise and revitalise your skin. Applying a sheet mask at least 3 times a week ensures your face is regularly hydrated and supple. In the long run, this will keep your face looking young and healthy as compared to just a regular face wash!
Step 4: Toner
Rehydrate and balance the pH levels of your skin with toners that are formulated with the essence of potent ingredients.
There are many ways to apply toner, but the most common way is through a cotton ball or pad. To do this, start by moistening one side of the cotton ball with a few drops of toner. Gently sweep it across the face in an outward motion, avoiding the lips or any other sensitive areas.
Step 5: Serum
Next, applying a little bit of glass skin serum gives you a boost of collagen production to give you a youthful look.
Start by applying 3-4 drops of serum in between your palms. Gently apply on your face and neck using light, tapping motions. Wait for a few minutes for the serum to soak into your skin before applying other products.
Step 6: Moisturise
Moisturiser is crucial to achieving the glass skin look. It gives you a dewy radiant glow and it effectively locks in the moisture.
Make sure your skin is slightly damp before applying, to seal in the moisture. Follow up by applying a pea-sized amount of moisturiser on your face and start rubbing them with your fingertips in smooth, circular motions. Rub until your skin has absorbed it all and no residue is left.
Now that you have the ultimate step-by-step glass skin routine, you’ll need to choose the best glass skin products for your skin type.
