Korean glass skin made easy: 10 steps to the perfect glow
Double CleansingUse an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, sunscreen and impurities. This should be followed with a gentle water-based cleanser to ensure your skin is thoroughly clean.
ExfoliationGently exfoliate to remove dead skin cells. Use chemical exfoliants (like AHAs or BHAs) or gentle scrubs, depending on your skin type once to twice a week.
TonerUse a hydrating toner to balance your skin’s pH and prep it for the next steps. Look for toners with soothing and moisturising ingredients like hyaluronic acid or the herb Centella asiatica.
EssenceAn essence is a lightweight, hydrating formula that enhances skin’s elasticity and hydration. Tap it gently into your skin to boost absorption.
Serum/AmpouleChoose a serum tailored to your skin’s needs, such as vitamin C for brightening, niacinamide for refining pores or hyaluronic acid for intense hydration.
Sheet maskApply a sheet mask soaked in nourishing ingredients to deeply hydrate and revitalise your skin at least two to three times a week.
Eye creamGently pat an eye cream around your eyes to reduce puffiness, dark circles and fine lines.
MoisturiserLock in all the hydration with a lightweight but effective moisturiser that suits your skin type. Look for products with ceramides or snail mucin for extra nourishment.
SunscreenApply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every morning to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, which can cause premature ageing and damage.
Healthy lifestyle habitsStay hydrated, eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and get enough sleep. They all help in maintaining the skin’s natural glow.
