How do you get glass skin?
Glass skin, the ultra-smooth, almost translucent look of the skin, is a Korean beauty trend that has taken the world by storm. We will guide you through the process of achieving this look, with a touch of insight from Emily Symonds Willmot, our in-house skincare fanatic and creative director.

What is glass skin?
“Glass skin" is a term that has been widely embraced by the Korean beauty scene, representing an ideal skin state that is incredibly smooth, even-toned, and luminous - akin to the clarity and shine of glass.
This concept is about achieving a complexion that is ultra-clear, deeply hydrated, and possesses a dewy, almost translucent quality, creating an impression of flawlessness and refinement akin to glass.
What is the secret to glass skin?
Attaining glass skin involves a dedicated skincare regimen that emphasises deep hydration, meticulous cleansing, regular exfoliation, and comprehensive nourishment.
Key products in this beauty routine typically include hydrating toners, essences, serums packed with active ingredients, and moisturisers that bolster a healthy skin barrier. The aim is not solely to attain clear and unblemished skin but to nurture skin that glows with inner health, appearing youthful and radiant.
Is glass skin possible for everyone?
While chasing the dream of 'glass skin' with its perfect glow, remember that everyone's skin is different. Genetics and skin type play big roles. A good skincare routine can really help improve your skin's look and feel, but achieving the exact 'glass skin' look might not be possible for everyone.
Still, every step you take towards better hydration is great for your skin. So, even if 'glass skin' seems out of reach, you're still doing something wonderful for your skin's health and radiance.
How Do You Achieve Glass Skin?
Here’s our helpful step by step of how to achieve glass skin in no time at all.
Step 1: Double Cleanse
Start with a double cleanse to ensure all makeup and impurities are removed. Use an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser for thorough cleansing.
Step 2: Exfoliate Gently
Exfoliation is key but do it gently. Opt for a mild exfoliant to slough away dead skin cells without irritating the skin.
Step 3: Tone and Hydrate
Apply a hydrating toner. This step is crucial for balancing your skin’s pH levels and preparing it for further hydration.
Step 4: Essence is Essential
But first...
What is ‘essence’ in skincare?
Essences in skincare are hydrating and soothing substances with a more liquidy texture, lighter and less concentrated than serums. They are applied after cleansing and toning but before serums, delivering hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and natural plant extracts deep into the skin.
Step 5: Serum and Ampoules
Use a serum or ampoule with active ingredients that target your specific skin concerns, such as dullness or uneven skin tone.
Step 6: Moisturise Well
Choose a moisturiser that locks in all the hydration without being too heavy. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides.
Step 7: Sun Protection
Never skip sunscreen during the day. UV rays can damage your skin, hindering your journey to glass skin.
