Unless you have been living under a rock, we are pretty certain that you have come across the dewy glass-skin makeup look.
This K-beauty phenomenon emphasizes on hydration which in turn leads to plumpy translucent skin, resembling that of glass shards.
As you may be aware, Korean women worship their skincare routine, some may argue having a 7 to 10 step skincare routine. Fear not, we will help you attain this not so easy “easy look”.
STEP 1: CLEANSING
You want to start with cleaning your face with some cotton pads smothered in micellar water. Once you have cleaned your face to the point where you get satisfaction from the amount of dirt that has been extracted and you have let out a subtle “uhhh” , you then want to wash your face with a cleanser. A little insider for you: double cleansing is every Korean woman’s secret sauce to flawless skin.
STEP 2: SUNSCREEN
There is a reason why most Korean women have such even-toned skin. Sunscreen is their holy grail product and is a skincare step you should never skip. Trust us, your future self will love you for it! You want to make sure that the sunscreen has an SPF of at least 30 with a hydrating finish.
STEP 3: ULTRA HYDRATION
The next step is what some would call “extensive. Korean women have typically adapted to what they call the ‘7 skin method’, for which they apply 7 layers of hydrating toner and serum. From brightening serums to skin correction, best believe their skin will be so luminous by the end of it…. that you might need to wear sunglasses when you look at them.
STEP 4: LIP CARE
The last step of this regime truly ties the entire look together. They apply a lip scrub to exfoliate their lips and remove any dry skin cells, this is then followed by hydration with lip oil/balm. This really gives them this juicy and plumpy finish, which is essentially the core of the glass-skin concept.
After you have incorporated all these steps into your skincare routine before you go to bed, we now give you permission to stare at your ever-so beaming self for an unreasonable period of time!
