Before Anything Else, What Does “Glass Skin” Exactly Mean?

The termglass skin was first coined in Korea. This is a term that they used to define complexion that looks so luminous and clear, nearly similar to that of glass.

Having glass skin doesn’t only mean having a dewy, radiant complexion; it also means having pores so small, that they are nearly invisible. And having originated from the Korean skincare and beauty scene, the trend quickly went viral, making its numerous rounds on social media.

Achieve That Poreless, Glass Skin By Following This Simple Korean Skincare Routine

Sadly, there is no shortcut to achieving glass skin. In fact, glass skin requires a certain amount of work, and it’s not your typical skincare work.

And if you’re serious about achieving that luminous, poreless look for your skin, then follow this Korean Skincare Routine that you can do  At Home.

Step 1: Pick a gentle facial cleanser

The first step to achieving glass skin is getting your hands on a gentle face cleanser. This is important, as you don’t want to get something too harsh or abrasive to your skin.

Additionally, we highly recommend that you get a cleanser that has a sulfate-free formula. If  at all possible, stick with an all-natural, organic option.

Moreover, we found out that using a cleanser that has a good lineup of fatty acids, sugars, and other soothing botanical ingredients preps the skin nicely prior to doing the rest of the glass skincare steps.

Step 2: Be generous with your moisturizing essence

One of the most crucial factors behind glass skin is hydration. That said, if you’re looking to achieve this clear, porcelain, complexion, then you must pick a good moisturizing essence. 

Additionally, if you’re really serious about nailing glass skin, then don’t be frugal with the essence. On the contrary, you should be more generous with it.  Let your skin soak up as much of the essence and have it loaded up with all of the hydrating ingredients found in the product.

Moreover, it is more beneficial to pick out a product with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide when it comes to picking a moisturizing essence. . Combined, these two active skincare ingredients lock in moisture while combating inflammation and keeping the skin pH balanced.

Step 3: Hydrate your skin using essence pads

As mentioned, hydration is everything when it comes to glass skin. With that in mind, you may want to kick things up a notch and use moisturizing essence pads. This is very essential to the routine, as essence-soaked pads provide heavier moisture for the skin.

That said, invest in essence-soaked pads and gently pat them onto your skin. Do this right after your skin has fully absorbed all the moisture from the prior essence liquid.

Step 4: Layer your hydrating serum

The fourth step into building your dream glass skin is a good hydrating serum. Lightweight and quick-absorbing, this face serum is designed to deliver all the hydrating properties into your skin in a non-comedogenic, gentle manner.

On top of that, a good hydrating serum also comes with a ton of powerful active ingredients that nourishes the skin. Among the most popular ingredients found in a hydrating serum are hyaluronic acid, vitamins, peptides, fatty acids, and minerals.

For this part of your skincare, we highly recommend using theZone 365 Beauty’s Hyaluronic Acid Intense Hydration Formula. Made of all-natural, organic, vegan-friendly ingredients, this lightweight and deeply nourishing face serum will surely deliver deep hydration into your skin.

Step 5: Lather up with an antioxidant-infused moisturizer

Another crucial part of achieving glass skin is the type of moisturizer that you use. Not only should you opt for one that is deeply moisturizing, but it is also important to consider its entire ingredient line up. 

Generally speaking, you should go for something that is packed with antioxidants as well. This type of moisturizer guarantees that your skin is not only hydrated, but is nourished as well.

Moreover, a good moisturizer packed with antioxidants will also keep your skin elasticity at its peak, which gives  it a soft, plump, and supple texture.

Step 6: Apply your firming eye cream

The next step after your moisturizer is the eye cream. You may use your usual eye cream for this, or if you’re really looking to take things up a notch, then you may want to get a good firming eye cream.

This step is the key to keep your eye area from sagging and looking tired. Not only will this step keep your eye area look younger, but it will also make your skin look brighter and more glowing.

However, remember that your eye area is delicate. With that in mind, only pat the eye cream gently around your skin. You may want to use your ring finger for doing this step as it is technically the weakest and will apply very gentle pressure on your skin.

Step 7: Seal all the nourishing skincare products with an organic face oil

Once you have applied all of your moisturizing skin care products, the next step is to seal everything in using face oil. For this specific purpose, you may want to pick a cold-pressed blend of oils that are also packed with antioxidants.

You may also want to pick out a face oil that is formulated using only all-natural and organic ingredients. Look for something that has a blend of squalene, grapeseed, and jojoba oil as these will help strengthen your skin barrier while keeping it nourished.

Step 8: Don’t ever forget your sunscreen

As part of any skincare routine, you should never ever neglect your SPF. This is a very important part of any skincare routine.

That being said, if you’re looking to achieve that glass skin in no time, then get yourself a good SPF product. Look for something that offers SPF 40 or higher to guarantee full protection against the sun.

For this step, you may opt for a face-lotion type, a cream type, or a spray type - the decision is ultimately yours! 

Step 9: Go for an exfoliating mask once a week

Another secret to achieving glass skin is exfoliation. So for this step, you may want to go for an exfoliating mask and use it at least once a week.

Essentially, what you’d want to do is to leave this mask on for five to ten minutes and let your skin absorb all of the active ingredients. This timeframe is also enough to rid your skin of any dirt and blackheads which can prevent the cause of breakouts.

If you’re planning to do this step more than once a week, then you should opt for two different exfoliating formulas to give your skin different levels of exfoliation with every session. We highly recommend getting a mask with a mix of glycolic acid and salicylic acid as the two effectively balances out the skin and clears the pores deeply. 

Step 10: Use a hydrating mask once a week

Lastly and most importantly, use a hydrating mask once a week. This step is crucial, as this will not only hydrate your skin on a deeper level, but also give it additional nourishment as the mask sits on your skin for at least 10 minutes.
