What Does “Glass Skin” Actually Mean?
“Glass skin” isn’t just a TikTok trend , it’s the ultimate K-beauty goal. Think skin so smooth, dewy, and clear that it almost looks like glass reflecting light. But here’s the secret: it’s not about chasing “perfect” skin or a 10-step overload. It’s about hydration, consistency, and products that work with your skin, not against it.
How to Achieve It:
-
Step 1 Double Cleanse – Reset Your Canvas
Start with an oil cleanser to dissolve makeup, SPF, and impurities, then follow with a gentle foaming cleanser. This step ensures your skin is truly clean without stripping its natural oils the foundation of any glow routine. -
Step 2 Hydrating Toner/Essence – Layer Like a Pro
K-beauty’s biggest secret? Layering lightweight hydration. Instead of one heavy cream, think multiple thin layers of toner or essence that sink in quickly, leaving your skin plump and bouncy. -
Step 3 Glow-Boosting Serum – Target + Treat
This is where you personalise your glass-skin journey. Niacinamide brightens, snail mucin hydrates and repairs, and rice extract evens out texture. The key? Ingredients that give your skin that luminous, light-reflecting finish. -
Step 4 Moisturiser – Seal It In
A lightweight moisturiser locks in all the hydration without feeling greasy. For glass skin, think smooth, breathable textures that keep skin supple throughout the day. -
Step 5 SPF – Your Glow Guardian
The most important step, always. SPF protects against sun damage, pigmentation, and premature ageing. Plus, glowing skin only stays glowing if it’s protected.
