Glass skin is one of the most sought-after looks right now, and with its focus on healthy, radiant skin, it’s easy to see why.
Seen all over our feeds, the concept originates from K-beauty, where the idea is to create a fresh, supple base using moisturizing and enriching ingredients.
So, if you’re wondering how to get glass skin, here are some simple tips to help you achieve it.
How to Achieve Glass Skin
From cleanser to setting spray, every step plays a role in helping you achieve a radiant glow.
Here’s what to include in your glass skin routine, with tailored tips for your morning and evening rituals.
Double Cleanse
Thoroughly washing your face is the first step to achieving a glassy finish, as it helps prepare your skin for the rest of your routine.
Double cleansing typically involves two steps. Start with an oil-based formula, like our CleanRefresh Foaming Oil Cleanser, designed to help break down make-up and sunscreen.
After gently washing off, follow with a water-based blend, such as our Phyto-Gel Cleanser, which works to lift away any remaining residue. Again, remove any residue with lukewarm water and a clean facecloth or cotton pad.
In the morning, this method isn’t usually needed since there’s little buildup to clear away. A single cleanse is typically enough to refresh your base for the day ahead.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating in the evening could help to smooth uneven texture, which is key for a smooth, glassy base.
You could try a gentle scrub to help buff away buildup or opt for a chemical exfoliant, like AHAs or BHAs, to promote a soft, balanced finish.
Tone and Prep
Designed for AM and PM use, a toner might make all the difference in your glass skincare routine.
When combined with a face cream, it could help to support moisture levels after cleansing.
Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which may support revitalized, plumped results.
Apply Serum
A targeted serum can transform your journey to achieving radiant-looking skin.
In the morning, we recommend using moisturizing, revitalizing formulas with ingredients like glycerin, collagen, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, or vitamin C.
For your evening routine, opt for serums containing retinol such as our Micro-Retinol Essential Serum which could help to visibly rejuvenate your base overnight.
Moisturize
To achieve a smooth, dewy appearance, choose a cream that helps retain moisture and supports the skin barrier.
When selecting a formula, think about your skin type and the time of day. Gel-based options could work well for oil-prone or combination skin, offering lightweight comfort. For dry skin, richer blends with ingredients like shea butter or glycerin may leave your base feeling soft and rejuvenated.
A fast-absorbing product is often suitable in the morning, while a thicker option in the evening, such as our Power Repair Marine Collagen Cream, works to revitalize your surface while you sleep.
Expert Tip:Radiant, glassy skin starts within—drink at least one liter of water daily to help boost your glow.
Protect with SPF
Even the best glass skincare routine won’t give you results without applying SPF in the morning.
Sunscreen helps to protect against photoaging, which is key to achieving a long-lasting glow and youthful-looking results.
Use a Face Mask
Including a face mask once or twice a week in your evening self-care routine could help to support a healthy-looking appearance.
Choose a revitalizing one, like our Bright Skin Green Apple Mask, that works to balance your complexion while promoting radiant, glassy results.
Refresh with A Face Mist
A spritz of a face mist could add a dewy finishing touch to your glass skin routine or act as a refreshing pick-me-up throughout the day.
Look for one that contains hyaluronic acid, like our HydraMist, that could help your skin appear glowy and moisturized.
Finish with Makeup
Once your glass skincare routine is complete, make-up could help you achieve visibly dewy results.
Opt for lightweight foundations or products like our YouthRenew Tinted cream to subtly even out your complexion. Blend with a damp beauty sponge, then apply cream blush, bronzer, and highlighter for a radiant finish.
If you usually lock in your make-up with powder, opt for a setting spray instead, as this may help to create that fresh, just-applied look.
By following our guide on how to get glass skin, you could achieve the sought-after radiant, dewy results.
The secret lies in enriching ingredients, so explore our range of serums and creams formulated to support a healthy, supple base today.
