How to get the glass skin?
What is glass skin?
Originating from Korean beauty, glass skin is clear, smooth, glowing skin that looks like glass. The glass skin trend is popular on social media channels such as TikTok, where the primary goal is to achieve clear, acne-free skin. Glass skin also looks smooth and hydrated with a hydrating, reflective effect.
How to get glass skin?
Leading the glass skin trend is more about helping a lady’s skin look its healthiest rather than a single product. To help you embark on your glass skin journey, here are some of my favourite skin smoothing practices.
1. Start with double cleansing
One of K-beauty’s hallmarks is double cleansing, starting with a make-up remover followed by a foaming gel cleanser. The Collagen Cleanser has a rich, smooth texture and is the first step in the much-loved double cleanse. The Oil-Based Cleanser contains Sweet Almond, Shea Butter, Jojoba Seed and Coconut Oils to help soften your skin while removing dirt and make-up.
2. Gently smooth your skin with an exfoliant
Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells that cause dullness and rough texture, and when it comes to getting glassy skin, exfoliation is a key step.
3. Moisturise with a mask or toner
Getting glassy skin relies on adequate hydration, so we love the idea of using a moisturising toner or mask in our skincare routine. This helps to moisturise and soften the skin.
4. Try a skin-smoothing serum
With their concentrated formulas and deeply nourishing ingredients, it’s no surprise that facial serums are the key to achieving the look of glassy skin. This helps visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
5. Enhancement of gloss with primer
If you’re wondering how to get glassy skin immediately, use a skin-smoothing primer for an immediate glassy look. This helps to immediately plump the skin, minimise fine lines and create the smoothest possible look. It dries to a hydrated, glowing look, perfect for the glassy skin trend.
6. Protect and reflect with sunscreen
At the heart of the glass skin trend is keeping your skin as healthy as possible, and sunscreen plays an important role in this goal.
