How to Get Glass Skin in 5 Steps.
Glass skin is characterised by a soft, youthful complexion. It’s dewy, hydrated, and seemingly poreless, locking in moisture and radiance. More specifically, “glass” refers to the translucence of healthy skin. Something that we all want and hope for, right?
Therefore, you must nourish your skin and body with the right ingredients for a glassy glow. You can research hyaluronic acid, peptides, and holy grail ingredients for moisturised skin. Fortunately, we’ve compiled a guide to help you treat, hydrate, and brighten your skin. Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? Fortunately, it’s easy to achieve in a few simple steps with our ‘glass’ skin routine.
Step One: Double Cleansing
Glass skin requires a complete extraction of dirt, grease, and impurities to encourage a clean, refreshed complexion and prepare your skin for the products that will follow. To this end, double cleansing is part of the regime.
You can use the same cleanser for both rounds or an oil-based cleanser followed by a foaming cleanser, depending on the needs of your skin type (which can either be oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, or combination skin). Either way, you may want to wash your face with cold water and use a non-abrasive, gentle cleanser to prevent overwashing and irritation.
Gentle cleansers also detoxify your skin without stripping it of its natural oils, ultimately helping you achieve and maintain the deep hydration at the heart of the glass skin look.
Step Two: Tone
Gone are the days of the highly-astringent toners we used as teens to abolish acne. Today, many toners brim with nurturing ingredients that banish blackheads clear your pores and clarify your complexion.
Please apply the toner of your choice with a cotton round to keep your skin glossy and vibrant.
Step Three: Serum
The juicy look that makes glass skin stand out from the crowd results from beautifully hydrated skin—and a moisturising serum with potent, active ingredients.
Step Four: Moisturise
If you have been wondering, “Why does my skin look dull?” one possible answer is lack of hydration. Firm, supple skin is a cornerstone of a glass complexion.
Moisturisers provide enduring hydration to targeted areas and naturally achieve a smoother texture. Apply one to two pumps of the cream you’ve chosen and allow it to sink into your skin before moving on to the next step.
Step Five: Protect
Sun damage is often at the root of skincare concerns, with some research suggesting that harmful rays are responsible for 80% of the signs of ageing, such as:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Dark spots and uneven skin tone
Dry skin
Dull complexion
While we can’t undo the years we spent in the sun, we can diminish its evidence with SPF products and treatments that protect and nourish our skin. Wear SPF daily and even indoors as the rays from the sun can penetrate even through glass.
Note: Consistency is vital in any skincare routine. To achieve glowing skin, repeat this six-step process daily.
