Lately, a lot of makeup artists have prided themselves in achieving a glass skin look. But stemming from Korean beauty practices and standards, there are ways to naturally get this not only as a look but as a result of improved skin conditions. These genuinely make a person’s face more translucent and clearer, earning the title of “glass skin.” Here are some surefire ways to get that desired outcome.
- Linovera oil
Incorporating the linovera oil into your beauty routine can help achieve glass skin because it hydrates the skin significantly and restores the balance of moisture where it’s applied. Often touted as an anti-aging product, this mixture contains Centella asiatica, hyper oxygenated fatty acids, and aloe vera to target damage that comes from exposure to harmful elements like pollution, grime, and excessive sun. The hydration these components give allows the upper layers of skin to regenerate and repair sustained problems, which helps the preservation and development of elasticity and more glow.
Though it works with basically all skin types, it proves helpful for those who have particularly dry skin and may feel like attaining a glass look may be more challenging for them. It should also be noted that a little goes a long way for this as the method of applying is different from moisturizers.
- Double cleansing
This method is the process of cleansing twice, using different products each time. Usually, it involves the use of one oil-based and another water-based cleanser to achieve its full effect. However, some people prefer to use similar products depending on their sensitivities.
The benefit of this method is allowing the initial cleanse to get rid of makeup and dirt, then essentially allowing the next wave of product to be more absorbed by the skin. Doing this makes the desired effects more effective. Not only does this help people with problem skin, but it also does wonders in clearing out pores and skin issues and bringing out the glow that is a staple with the glass look.
- The Ten-Step Method
This process originated from Korean skincare as they popularized the glass skin aesthetic. Though it may initially sound daunting, it is the most in-depth way to achieve visible results for sure.
The best part about this is that you can incorporate the first two points above into this process to bring out the best in your skin. It doesn’t take too long and is worth the investment if you have the resources and are willing to set aside some time for self-care.
It entails starting with the double cleanse mentioned, then applying toner, essence, emulsion, serum, a sheet mask, eye cream, moisturizer. The last step is either using a sunscreen or sleeping mask, depending on whether you do your routine before starting the day or right before going to bed.
The specific products can vary with your skin type, preferences, and budge. But following the same steps will get you the results you want.
Achieving astonishingly clear as glass skin is possible, as long you use the right products and have good habits.
