Achieving “Glass skin” look involves a combination of skincare techniques and products aimed at enhancing hydration, smoothness, and luminosity. This involves meticulous skincare routine that emphasizes hydration, exfoliation, and protection.
In Today's blog we will emphasize the key steps to help you get that smooth, clear, and radiant complexion:
1. Double Cleanse (Morning & Night Routine)
Start with an oil-based cleanser to remove make-up, dust, sebum and sweat on the surface of the skin. Followed with a water based cleanser to eliminate any remaining impurities.
2. Exfoliation (regular basis - 2 to 3 times weekly)
Exfoliation involves the removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the skin's outermost surface either using a mechanical or chemical exfoliant. Use a gentle exfoliant 2-3 times a week to remove dead skin cells and promote a smooth texture. Chemical exfoliants like AHAs and BHAs are very effective.
3. Hydrating Toner
Complete the cleansing process and adjust the skin pH after washing with hard water, this is to balance your skin's pH and provide an initial layer of moisture.
4. Essence
Use a lightweight, hydrating essence to boost moisture and enhance the absorption of the products.
5. Serum
Apply the serum as these product line are usually light, fast-absorbing and loaded with high concentration of active ingredients and easily penetrate deep within the layers of the skin. Allowed time to absorb before the next skincare regime.
6. Eye Cream
Apply eye cream in a circular motion around the eye area for easy absorption.
*Optional lip cream as well at this step.
7. Facial Mask
Incorporate a sheet mask 1-2 times a week for an intensive hydration boost (Mask draw out impurities, exfoliate, hydrate, soothe or tone your face)
8. Moisturizer
Apply moisturizer in a massage movement ensuring the product is absorbed (allow 2 -3 minutes for full absorption) - hydrating moisturizer to maintain moisture levels and protect skin barrier.
9. Sunscreen Protection
The final step to apply sunscreen to protect your skin from UV protection.
In addition to these steps, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with adequate rest time, staying hydrated and a nutritious diet is essential for achieving the optimal result of having a radiant and flawless skin.
