How To Get Glass Skin

“Glass skin is a beauty ideal among the most skincare savvy in Asia because it isn’t simply about having clear skin or firm skin,” according to the experts at Peach & Lily. “Instead, this beauty ideal is about having that flawless, poreless, refined and radiant skin that can’t be faked with laser treatments or a quick overnight fox. This skin idea is a distinct look that only comes about when skin is truly happy and healthy from the inside out.”

Here’s what you need to know about achieving glass skin — and some products that will get you there.

Glass Skin Focuses On Inner Health And Outer Skin Beauty


You already know that glass skin requires a poreless, flawless complexion. But, aside from committing yourself to washing off your makeup every night in order to prevent zits, what else can you do to achieve crystal-clear glass skin, especially if clear skin isn’t in your genes? Quite a bit, actually.


Reducing inflammation and damage caused by free radicals is key to maintaining a glass-like complexion. Inflammation is your body’s response to trauma, and some of the ways in which it manifests itself in your skin include reddened skin, dryness, and conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Unfortunately, it’s going to take more than a cream to reduce inflammation. Before you start a new skincare regiment in the hopes of achieving glass skin, visit your dermatologist to address concerns that could stem from your diet, stress, or health conditions.

Here's The Skincare Routine You Should Follow For Glass Skin: 

Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Micellar Cleanser ($31)

Step One: Cleanse Skin


The first step toward truly clean and glowing skin always involves cleanser. But while some of us approach cleanser as an afterthought, the type of cleanser you use really does make a difference. Ideally, you should be using one that is gentle enough for sensitive skin even if your skin can take harsher products. 

Using a micellar cleanser another excellent way to ensure that all your makeup has been removed. It also works to stop excess sebum production without stripping your face of its natural oils.

Tony Moly I’m Real Cactus Sheet Mask ($3.75)


Step Two: Apply Regular Mask Treatments


Sheet masks are a crucial component of Korean skincare beauty, but you can’t just apply one once and expect it to work wonders. Make masks a part of your regimen and try to use them at least twice weekly.

This incredibly hydrating cactus mask contains three types of essences that soothe, purify, and hydrate skin, helping to reduce inflammation and keep your complexion free of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads.

Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum ($39)


Step Three: Apply A Serum Designed To Give You Glass Skin


If your goal is glass skin, it doesn’t get better than this K-beauty serum. This lightweight gel contains a cocktail of ingredients that will fight inflammation and free radicals and leave skin softer, smoother, and clearer. Star ingredients include niacinamide, peach extract, East Asian mountain yam, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Acid Cloud Cream ($52)


Step Four: Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize


When it comes to the glass skin trend, the importance of moisturizing your skin so that there isn’t a trace of dryness can’t be overstated. This cream contains 30 percent hyaluronic acid and ceramides, both of which lock in moisture for up to 72 hours.

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 ($52)


Step Five: Conceal Blemishes With Color Correcting Treatments


You don’t actually need makeup to reduce redness in your skin tone. This color correcting treatment, which you apply after moisturizer and sunscreen as a last step, is a green serum that turns beige on your skin and instantly neutralizes redness and signs of inflammation. It also contains SPF 30 and fights free radicals and environmental damage, making it the perfect makeup/skincare combo you need for the ultimate glass skin look.
