How to Get Glass Skin: K-Beauty Skin Routine and the Best Product for You

Who Created the Term Glass Skin?

Nobody knows who first came up with the term "Glass Skin." However, in the United States, it has become a key term representing K-Beauty. In Korea, people often refer to it as "porcelain skin," which describes skin that looks poreless, glossy, and smooth. Globally, "glass skin" is the equivalent of this concept.

So, how can you achieve glass skin? Let’s explore the steps and focus points needed to create this flawless, glowing skin.

What Should You Focus on to Achieve Glass Skin?

In short, achieving glass skin means taking care of everything: from the skin barrier to elasticity and even aging. Here are the main areas to focus on:

1. Long-Lasting Glow

A true glow doesn’t come from oily skin. It happens when your skin has a perfect balance of oil and moisture. This balance ensures your skin looks luminous and healthy for a longer time.

2. Skin Elasticity

Skin elasticity is closely related to aging and pore size. Enlarged pores can make your skin appear less firm, so maintaining elasticity is essential.

3. Hydrated Skin

Glass skin is often called "hydrated skin" for a reason. Skin that is full of moisture reflects light beautifully and appears radiant in any lighting condition.

The Best Skincare Ingredients for Glass Skin

Understanding skincare ingredients can help you choose the right products for your skin, avoid side effects, and adapt to seasonal changes. Here are the ingredients that help achieve glass skin:

1. Squalane & Hyaluronic Acid

Both of these ingredients are essential for keeping your skin hydrated. Hyaluronic acid is particularly famous for helping your skin retain moisture. When your skin is full of water, it naturally looks brighter and healthier.

2. Antioxidants

Antioxidants like Vitamin C and plant extracts protect your skin from environmental damage and help maintain the balance of oil and water. They also prevent oxidation, which is one of the main causes of aging.

3. Skin Repair and Recovery Ingredients

Skin faces constant stress from the environment and daily life. Ingredients that promote fast and effective recovery help maintain an even tone and texture, giving your skin a porcelain-like appearance.

Specific Steps to Achieve Glass Skin

To achieve glass skin, you need to follow a detailed routine that focuses on hydration, recovery, and protection. Here are the key steps:

1. Gentle Cleansing to Reduce Irritation

Avoid harsh cleansers that strip away your skin’s natural oils and moisture. Use a mild cleanser like Innisfree Blueberry Rebalancing 5.5 Cleanser, which keeps your skin hydrated and soft after washing. This product has been dermatologically tested for sensitive skin.

2. Proper Toning to Refine Skin Texture

Use a toner with a cotton pad to remove any leftover impurities and exfoliate gently. Avoid alcohol-based toners, as they can irritate your skin. Try celoraby's Pore Double-Care Pad, which cleans pores and enhances your skin’s radiance.

3. Use an Essence Before Serum

Essences prepare your skin for better serum absorption. Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum is a great choice that contains herbal ingredients to enhance your skin’s hydration and health.

4. Apply Targeted Serums for Radiance

Serums are concentrated treatments designed to address specific concerns like aging and hydration. Use celoraby's Rejuvenation™ 4GF Derma Repair Hydro Serum to promote skin recovery and boost your skin’s natural glow.

Occasional Treatments to Enhance Your Routine

1. Exfoliation

Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells and enhances your skin’s natural glow. Use a gentle exfoliator 2–3 times a week to avoid over-irritating your skin.

2. Eye Cream

The skin around your eyes is delicate and prone to wrinkles. Use a specialized eye cream to keep the area hydrated and smooth.

3. Face Oil

Face oils are not for daily use but can help when your skin feels dry or needs extra recovery. After applying serum, use 2–3 drops of face oil to lock in moisture and improve your skin’s texture.
