What is glass skin?
Whether you're searching for the latest skincare facts or trying to prevent premature skin aging, you've likely heard of "glass skin."
Also commonly referred to as "bouncy skin," this practice is all about achieving smooth, clear, and see-through skin.
Like its sibling "dewy skin", glass skin is ultra-moisturized and luminous. But a glass-like complexion isn't just about layering on skin-smoothing lotions and creams.
The key to glass skin is healthy skin, and the best way to do that is by nurturing your skin's natural protective barrier.
Your step-by-step glass skin routine
Though many skincare experts can generally agree on the best beauty routine, it's important to adopt a holistic approach to skincare that caters to your individual skin type.
For example, if you have oily skin, pair clay masks with a gentle foam cleanser. For dry skin, you should always have sheet masks on hand and drink plenty of water.
Regardless of your skin type, discover the skincare ritual that works best for you, and capitalize upon it!
#1. Double cleanse
Most people associate the term "glass skin" with Korean beauty trends. And one of the core elements of this skincare practice is double-cleansing.
This two-step method has been all the rage on social media lately, but that's not for no reason. Double-cleansing allows you to deep-clean your skin without harsh scrubs that can strip away natural moisture.
Instead, you can use gentle formulas to whisk away dirt, bacteria, dead skin cells, and makeup in order to reveal clean and glowing skin.
To properly double-clean your skin, start with a cleansing oil and follow up with a gentle face wash.
A cleansing oil lifts grime and grub from the skin while encouraging natural hydration. But the real power stems from the gentle cleanser you use.
You should pick a lightly foaming cleanser that removes impurities without stripping away natural moisture. And that's easy with JUARA's Rice Facial Cleanser, a sulfate-free face wash that calms and nourishes skin.
Bonus: What Is Intellectual Wellness?
This unique formula is infused with the power of rice water and inspired by the ancient Jamu wellness customs of Indonesia. It contains all-natural ingredients that moisturize and cleanse skin, effortlessly leaving you with a glass-like complexion.
#2. Exfoliate
Your skincare routine isn't complete if you don't exfoliate once or twice per week.
This practice is essential for removing dead skin cells, bacteria, dirt, and makeup that build up on your skin's surface. And by exfoliating, you can achieve glass skin!
Use JUARA's Radiance Enzyme Scrub & Enzyme Mask to shrink pores and refine skin. Infused with vitamin C and botanical extracts, this soothing face scrub is the key to soft and supple skin.
However, it's much more than just an exfoliator. It also doubles as an enzyme mask and can even be used as a daily cleanser. That's because the bamboo and jojoba beads that it contains are gentle enough on your skin for repeated use, and serve to soften your complexion and unclog pores.
#3. Use a toner
Your skin has a natural balance that can be easily disrupted. And a hydrating toner, like JUARA's Tamarind Tea Hydrating Toner, can help you reset the pH and improve skin health.
This balancing and hydrating toner is ideal for oily skin.
Fragrance-free and oil-free, this toner contains added hyaluronic acid for moisture. It's the be-all and end-all of skincare toners.
But it doesn't stop there. Its natural formula is comprised of plant-based ingredients like tamarind seed extract and rice bran extract that soothe and soften the skin, leaving you with a glass-like complexion.
#4. Add an essence
Essences are lightweight water-based products that help to introduce some extra moisture to your skin. This bolsters your skincare routine, bringing you closer to dewy, glass skin!
These hydrating products help to boost your skin's natural cell turnover rate, encouraging a youthful and radiant complexion.
#5. Get a serum
Though cleansers and moisturizers should create the foundation of your glass skin routine, the real power comes from your serums. This is when you can truly refine your ritual and make it your own.
For instance, if you're struggling with fine lines and wrinkles, you'll be best off with an anti-aging formula filled with botanicals like our Clove Flower & Turmeric Anti-Aging Serum.
An anti-aging formula that can visibly erase fine lines and wrinkles, regardless of time.
This juicy gel contains natural ingredients like golden bamboo, palm peptide, and goji extract to brighten and protect skin. In addition, it contains hyaluronic acid and countless antioxidants that promote better skin health and bring you one step closer to glass skin.
#6. Layer on a moisturizer
Properly moisturizing your skin is essential if you want to achieve glass skin with ease. For exceptional results, you should find a reliable ultra-hydrating formula that feels lightweight and rich at the same time.
Though everyone's skin is different, everyone needs to moisturize. And the Sweet Black Tea and Rice Moisturizer from JUARA is perfect for any and all skin types.
This moisturizer should be your BFF year-round.
Made with ingredients inspired by Indonesian wellness customs, this formula is key to obtaining a radiant and glowing complexion.
From the age-defying five-flavor barrier to the antioxidant-rich kombucha, each element is designed to soothe redness, erase wrinkles, and moisturize dryness.
Plus, it comes in a handy travel size, so you never need to be without flawless skin!
#7. Incorporate an oil
A major staple of any glass skin routine is a face oil. Especially if you choose to forego a hydrating serum (though, you shouldn't), a face oil can keep your skin hydrated and supple, making it that much easier to obtain glass skin.
A brightening facial oil will help you achieve glass skin.
A face oil can help seal in all the wonderful moisture you just introduced to your skin. This act will help boost hydration in your skin barrier, enhance your appearance, and deeply nourish your skin.
Your chosen face oil should contain vitamin C, an ingredient well-known for its skin-brightening benefits.
Vitamin C is also able to boost collagen production and protect from sun damage. It's important to take full advantage of these abilities if you want to get one big step closer to a glass-like skin finish.
That's where JUARA's Radiance Vitality Oil comes into play.
Bursting with stabilized vitamin C and a blend of natural oils, this antioxidant-rich formula will deliver radiant skin to you on a silver platter. It absorbs fast and doesn't leave behind a greasy residue.
Spread the glow from head to toe.
However, you don't need to limit the goodness of an oil to just your face. The best way to achieve bright skin from head to toe is by regularly indulging in a body oil.
To make the most of a skin-brightening body oil, pair it with a luxurious body creme. And our Kartini Oil Candlenut Creme Duo combines the power of rich moisture and lightweight hydration in order to nourish and heal your skin.
Topped off with a heavenly scent, this incredible duo is a must!
Final thoughts
Though the term "glass skin" itself stems from the K-beauty scene, this practice is far from a modern-day trend. Healthy skin is a part of a balanced lifestyle and is an integral part of any skincare routine.
