Step-By-Step Guide To Achieving The Highly Coveted Korean Glass Skin

The Korean’s famed beauty routines have long since left an indelible impression on our collective consciousness, and yet the beauty world’s obsession with all things K-beauty does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon. If you are an avid K-beauty fan, get ready to add another term to your ever-expanding lexicon – Korean glass skin.

What is Korean glass skin?

If you are not in the know, you might be wondering what all the fuss is about this latest K-beauty trend. In layman’s terms, glass skin is often used to describe exceptionally smooth, even-toned skin that possesses a radiant glow – akin to a perfectly polished piece of glass.

And this term is more than just another buzzword to refer to a specific type of enviable complexion. In fact, Korean glass skin is widely regarded as the embodiment of healthy and beautiful skin. So how does one go about achieving this look? Well, it requires total dedication to your skincare regimen.

This is not the kind of skin results you can achieve overnight, even if you are blessed with good genes. However, if you are committed to looking your absolute best, let us share a step-by-step guide to helping you achieve the highly coveted Korean glass skin look.

How to achieve glass skin

Step 1: Double cleanse

Double cleansing has always been a vital part of any skincare routine, and it is no different this time around. This process helps remove all the dirt, grease, and makeup residue from your face, allowing you to feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

Start by cleaning your face with an oil-based cleanser, as it helps to break down the makeup residue and any oily dirt stuck to your face. Subsequently, follow it up by cleansing your face with a gentle foam wash or cream cleanser.

Step 2: Exfoliate

You can’t talk about achieving the highly coveted Korean glass skin without mentioning exfoliation. After all, the removal of excess dead skin cells and blackheads is key to obtaining clear and smooth-looking skin. However, it is advisable to not overdo it to avoid skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin – two to three times a week is ideal.

Step 3: Use a toner

Conventional toners are often ignored because many find them too drying on the skin. However, K-beauty toners are formulated with moisture-enhancing ingredients and play a pivotal role in any good Korean skincare routine.

Not only are you restoring your skin’s pH levels by applying a K-beauty toner, but you are also providing your skin with base hydration to allow for better absorption of other beauty products.

Step 4: Add an essence

It is highly advised to incorporate an essence – a thin, water-based product that adds moisture to your skin – into your daily skincare routine. Hydrating your skin helps strengthen its moisture barrier and gives it greater clarity and transparency.

Step 5: Treat your skin with a serum or ampoule

Another staple in your Korean glass skin routine is the incorporation of an ampoule or serum in your daily skincare regime. Ampoules typically contain a higher concentration of active ingredients, which help to nourish your skin, reverse signs of ageing, and even out your skin tone.

However, some ampoules are only meant for skin emergencies and might not be suited for daily use. In such instances, you can consider using a hydrating serum with moisture-boosting ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and ceramides, as an alternative solution.

Step 6: Use the right moisturiser

Moisturising your skin may seem like a no-brainer. However, when you are aiming for the coveted Korean glass skin look, you will require one that offers maximum moisture.

Keep a lookout for moisturisers that contain effective hydrators, nourishing botanical extracts, and antioxidants. Cica – renowned for its healing and anti-ageing properties – is another ingredient you want to pay special attention to when purchasing your moisturiser.

Step 7: Protect your skin from the sun

A small amount of exposure to the sun is beneficial to our body. However, too much exposure to the UV rays can harm your skin, causing it to develop more wrinkles and lines. But the warm and humid climate of Singapore can make it challenging for you to avoid the sun.

As such, you may want to consider carrying sunscreen with you whenever you plan to venture outdoors. Naturally, your ideal sunscreen should provide maximum UV protection, but you should also consider one that is hydrating and will not leave behind a residue.
