What is Glass Skin?
Glass skin is a Korean skincare trend that focuses on deep hydration, smooth texture, and an even tone, making your skin look luminous and healthy. It’s all about layering lightweight products to achieve a plump, youthful, and naturally glowing complexion.
1. Cleansing (AM &/or PM)
-
Oil-based cleanser: Removes sunscreen, makeup, and excess sebum i.e. Charcoal Detox cleanser
-
Water-based cleanser: Washes away dirt, sweat, and leftover impurities i.e Rice face wash, Brightening facial Cleanser.
2. Gentle Exfoliation (2-3 times a week)
-
Use gentle facial exfoliator/scrubs to remove dead cells, impurities and help skin cell regeneration i.e. Rice face scrub. This will help reduce size of pores, giving a glass like finish.
3. Serum & Treatment
-
Choose serums based on your skin concerns:
-
Vitamin C for brightening (Elixir glow serum, Rice serum)
-
Hyaluronic acid for hydration (Elixir Glow serum)
-
Niacinamide for barrier repair (Elixir Glow serum)
-
Peptides for anti-aging (Rice serum)
-
6. Moisturizer (Lock in Hydration)
-
Use a lightweight yet deeply nourishing moisturizer.
-
Choose one with ceramides, rice peptides, or botanical extracts i.e. Nutri booster, Brightening essence cream.
7. Sunscreen (SPF 50+) (Every Morning, Even Indoors)
-
Never skip sunscreen, as UV damage dulls and ages the skin.
-
Opt for a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ PA+++ sunscreen. For melanin rich skin, Protection Grade of UVA rays (PA) is more important as it protects from DNA damaging UVA rays that causes premature ageing and hyperpigmentation.
9. Healthy Lifestyle Habits
-
Hydration: Drink at least 2-3 liters of water daily.
-
Diet: Eat foods rich in antioxidants, omega-3, and vitamin C (e.g., berries, avocados, nuts).
-
Sleep: 7-8 hours of sleep is crucial for skin repair.
-
Exercise: Increases blood circulation, promoting a healthy glow.
To achieve glass skin, remember that your skin is composed of millions of cells. While external care is important, what you nourish your body with from the inside has an even greater impact.
