Thanks to the explosion of interest in Korean skincare, fueled by Instagram pics of those with almost impossibly glowing and smooth faces, everyone is talking about glass skin and how to get it. Glass skin is epitomized by perfection and flawlessness, plus a glowing surface that reflects light like glass.
How do these women get such gorgeous skin? Is it all genetics or luck? The answer is no. Most devotees of glass skin achieve it through a careful skincare routine, and we’re going to give you the lowdown so you can get it too!
Start with Clear Skin
You will never be able to achieve a glass skin look if your skin is marked with blemishes. To get breakout-prone skin under control, we recommend using a product like Dermalogica Sebum Clearing Mask a few times per week. This should help reduce your acne considerably. Then you can spot treat any remaining breakouts on an as-needed basis with Pharmaclear Acne Treatment Concentrate. Once you’re free from breakouts, you’re ready to get that glass skin!
Daily Morning Routine for Glass Skin
Step 1: Cleanse.
Start by washing your face using a gentle cleanser that will leave skin clean and refreshed, but not dried out. We like Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Cleanser for its ability to hydrate while removing oils and impurities.
Step 2: Exfoliate.
Exfoliation is important for clearing away dead skin cells and revealing fresher, brighter skin. Use a product like bareMinerals Poreless Exfoliating Essence and an exfoliating brush (without scrubbing too vigorously) to wake up skin.
Step 3: Apply toner.
Many people have shied away from toners, expecting them to be drying. But a good skin toner can actually be hydrating. Plus the benefit of applying a toner is that it balances your pH levels and allows for better absorption of the skin care products that come after. Try Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner.
Step 4: Moisturize
Apply a thin layer of a light moisturizer or hydrating cream of your choice to your entire face and neck.
Step 5: Finish with a serum
To add that distinctive glowing shine to your skin, as the final step, you will want to use a skin oil or serum. We love Ahava Dead Sea Crystal Osmoter X6 Facial Serum. Be sparing! Too much serum can make you simply look oily. You can also choose to add a drop or two to your moisturizer rather than as a standalone to ensure that you don’t apply too much.
Glass Skin Maintenance
To keep your glass skin looking its best, use a mask once a week to clear out impurities and brighten skin. We like Ahava Mineral Mud Brightening & Hydrating Facial Mud Mask.
