“Glass skin” is a K-beauty (Korean beauty) term that refers to extremely smooth, clear, luminous, and intensely hydrated skin that looks almost translucent—like glass.
Key features of glass skin:
-
Poreless appearance
-
Even tone and texture
-
Plump, dewy, and well-hydrated
-
No flakiness or dullness
-
A natural, healthy glow (not just from makeup)
How to achieve glass skin:
It’s not about perfection—it’s about consistent care, gentle layering, and prioritizing hydration.
Basic steps:
-
Double cleanse – to remove all dirt and sunscreen
-
Exfoliate – 1–2x/week to remove dead skin cells
-
Hydrating toner/essence – to prep and plump
-
Serum – with ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, or peptides
-
Moisturizer – to lock in hydration
-
Sunscreen – daily, to protect and prevent dark spots
-
(Optional: face masks, facial massage, facial mists)
Key ingredients:
-
Hyaluronic acid – for hydration
-
Niacinamide – for brightness and texture
-
Snail mucin – for repair and glow
-
Centella asiatica – to soothe and strengthen the barrier
-
AHA/BHA – for gentle exfoliation
