How To Achieve Glass Skin
Guide to achieve Korean Glass Skin
A K-beauty trend that everyone is obsessing with is glass skin, best described as dewy, moisturised skin that has an almost transparent complexion like glass, providing a "lit from within glow".
Although luminous skin may seem hard to achieve, mastering this skincare routine will give your face a healthy, hydrated and smooth youthful glow.
Step 1: Double Cleanse
Korean skincare has introduced us all to double cleansing, this involves using an oil based cleanser to wipe off makeup and oil build up. Subsequently, lather your face with cleanser and water, which gently exfoliates to ensure a deep clean without stripping your skin from natural oils.
Step 2: Exfoliate
This step should be done 1-3 times a week depending on how sensitive your skin is. Exfoliating is a vital step in achieving Glass Skin, it helps reduce clogged pores and removed dead skin cells that dull skin.
Step 3: Tone
Cleansing opens up your pores and leaves them open if you don't follow it up with a toner. Using a cotton pad to apply a gentle, non-alcoholic toner with ingredients such as Green tea, Ginseng and floral water restores the skin's pH level while providing hydration, allowing other products to absorb into the skin easily.
Step 4: Essence
Applying an Essence to the skin targets skin concerns like hyperpigmentation and redness, while providing moisture.
Step 5: Apply Serum
Serums are hydrating and loaded with antioxidants which protects skin from fine lines, as well as hydrating skin. Using a serum that contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin C encourages collagen production, maintaining moisture, evening skin tone while plumping skin.
Step 6: Moisturise
Using a lightweight moisturiser locks in moisture, sealing your skin barrier, leaving your skin smooth and supple.
Step 7: Apply SPF
Sun cream should be used all year round (even in winter). SPF prevents premature signs of aging and sunspots, creating flawless glass like skin.
Step 8 : Drink water
Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins, increasing blood flow to the skin, giving an even tone and plump skin.
