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.

Step Five: Conceal Blemishes With Color Correcting Treatments
