The cconcept of glass skin has become very popular thanks to the Korean beauty industry. Achieving a glass skin requires a consistent focus on hydration, exfoliation, and protection. The great part about this popular Korean skincare trend is that it actually works and it may be part of your skincare routine already. Using the right skincare products consistently definitely helps. There are a lot of options to choose from, so a quick trip to your beauty store to try out beauty products is the right way to start.
If you are wondering how to achieve a glass skin, here are 5 steps to try out –
Double Cleanse
This is the foundation of a great skincare routine. Double cleansing is the process of using an oil-based cleanser first to remove makeup and skincare products, and following with a water based cleanser for a cleaner face. Double cleansing should be part of your nightly routine and do make sure you are using the right oil-based and water cleansers for your skin.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating should be done at least twice a week, or every other day if your skin requires a lot of exfoliation. This helps shed dead skin and improves the texture of the skin.
Hydration
After double cleansing and exfoliating, the next step is to apply a hydrating toner or essence, immediately followed with a hydrating serum. You can also apply a few drops of facial oil once the serum is fully absorbed for more hydration.
Moisturise
Once all the hydrating products are fully abosorbed, the next step is to apply a moisturiser that suits your skin. This step locks all the products in and leaves the skin dewy.
Sun protection
For day time, always ensure you apply SPF to protect your skin from the sun, Sunscreen should be applied on a dailoy basis, even on winter days.
