What Is Glass Skin

The growing popularity of K-drama among Indians led to the rise of the glass skin trend. Glass skin or dewy skin is symbolic of porcelain-like translucent skin that’s hydrated, smooth and acne free.

To achieve this glass skin, experts recommend following a 10-step Korean skincare routine. The routine includes using a cleanser, exfoliator, sheet mask, toner, essence, serum, eye cream, and moisturiser. And it ends with applying sunscreen during the day and a sleep pack for the night. Let’s understand each of the steps in more detail below.

10-Step Korean Skincare Regime For Glass Skin

Here’s a 10-step guide as recommended by Korean beauty experts, to achieve radiant complexion and glass-like clear skin:

• Cleanser

Start off your day with a gentle cleanser to remove dead skin cells, germs and impurities accumulated overnight. And cleanse it again once before going to bed. This way you keep your pores clean and your skin healthy.

• Exfoliator

Sometimes the dead skin cells get piled on giving the appearance of dull, flaky skin. So you need to use a gentle scrub to remove these dead cells and unveil the glow beneath the surface. Choose a scrub that aligns with your skin type and be careful not to overexfoliate as it can damage your skin.

• Sheet

  Mask

Different sheet masks can treat different types of skin concerns. While some are formulated to hydrate and moisturise, others can absorb excess moisture from your skin. Using sheet masks is a cost-effective solution for hydrating the skin, removing impurities and improving the appearance of pores on your skin.

• Toner

A toner can remove impurities left behind on your skin after cleansing. It also helps hydrate your skin, maintain its pH, shrink the pores and helps in better absorption of the products you apply afterwards.

• Essence

Essence is another beauty product created in Korea and loved by skincare enthusiasts. It’s like a water-based serum rich in active ingredients that can help hydrate your skin and brighten your complexion.

• Serum

A skin brightening serum can be another great tool to achieve glass skin and reduce pigmentation. You can try AreoVeda’s Skin Brightening Serum infused with natural ingredients like Bakuchiol, a traditional Chinese herb and Pentavitin, which hydrates your skin. The serum is EWG Verified, Ecocert Certified and Cellularly Proven & promises to visibly reduce pigmentation in just 28 days.

• Eye Serum/Cream

While caring for your skin, don’t overlook the eye area. It’s a crucial part of your face and plays a major role in determining how fresh you look. To deal with dark circles and puffiness, you can use a hydrating eye serum or cream that hydrates and fights pigmentation.

• Moisturiser

We can’t overemphasise the role of moisturisers for getting glass skin. A good moisturiser seals in hydration, protects skin’s barrier and helps improve the overall texture of your skin.

• Sunscreen

Sunscreen is essential to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, which can lead to pigmentation, wrinkles, and premature ageing—exactly the things you want to avoid when working towards glass skin.

• Sleep Pack

This is the last step in the Korean skincare routine before you wrap up your day. For best results, you need to apply it on your skin and leave it overnight. Apart from delivering intense hydration, it helps your skin renew itself and rejuvenate as you sleep.

Summing Up

As dreamy as it may sound, getting glass skin is simple but needs consistency.  You can easily achieve it by following a dedicated skincare ritual mentioned in this blog.

But don’t forget to combine it with a skin-friendly diet and healthy lifestyle habits for best results. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables and healthy fats into your diet. Make sure to get at least 30 minutes of exercise daily. Prioritise sleep and try to keep your stress levels under control. And most importantly, steer clear of unhealthy habits like smoking and drinking.
