To get the most out of your glass skin routine, you need to use products that are highly hydrating, lightweight, filled with antioxidants, and loaded with high-quality ingredients.

1- Cleansing (double)

Remove all your makeup using the double cleansing method. This method involves removing your makeup with an oil-based cleanser and washing your face with a water-based face wash. Choose a makeup remover and face wash that are specially formulated for your skin type and maintain the pH balance of your skin without drying it out.

2- Toning

Toning is a step most of us tend to take for granted, but it can make a huge difference in the long run. Cleansing opens up your pores and leaves them open if you do not follow it with a toner. Use a gentle, non-alcoholic toner that closes your pores, softens your skin, restores its pH balance, and plumps it up.

3- Essence

Essence is the epicenter of the Korean skincare routine. The main ingredient of any essence is water. It falls somewhere between a serum and a lotion. It is light and extremely hydrating. It gets absorbed into your skin easily and brightens it instantly.

4-Serum

At this point, your skin care routine gets serious and is elevated to the next level. A serum does more than hydrating your skin -it evens out your skin tone, plumps up your skin, reduces fine lines, and maintains the moisture balance in your skin throughout the day. Use a serum that contains active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, alpha hydroxy acids, or beta hydroxy acids.

5- Moisturize… A lot!

Sometimes, the whole point of following a skin care routine is to moisturize your skin and find ways to keep it hydrated for the longest time. You need to use a moisturizer that is meant for your skin type, does not cause breakouts, and has a calming and brightening effect.

6- Foundation

Look for a medium coverage foundation that matches your skin type and skin tone. Don´t use a matte-finish foundation because it will work against the glassy-dewy look that you´re trying to achieve. Choose a foundation that is light, gel-based, blends easily, and has a mild illuminating effect.

7- Highlight lotion

Highlighting is the last step of the glass skin routine before you move on to your makeup. A highlighting lotion helps bring out the defining features of your face by adding a subtle glow and lustrous finish.
