‘Glass skin’ is trending in the skincare world at the moment, so you’re probably seeing the term used a lot – but what exactly is it?
Glass skin is a trend that originates from South Korea and describes a flawless, dewy complexion that is almost transparent in appearance. The name is inspired by the texture and appearance of glass, which is smooth, clear, and reflective.
That’s great, but how exactly can I get the glass skin look I hear you ask??
Well, it’s all about consistency and the ‘layering’ effect! To achieve Glass skin, you’ll want to be following a strong and regular skin care routine that focuses on 5 key areas:
Hydration: Keeping the skin well-hydrated is essential to get that plump and dewy appearance. Hot tip – apply a hydrating serum beneath your moisturiser to ensure your skin soaks up all that precious moisture! We recommend the Super Hydrating Serum or the Daily Strength Serum - these products include hyaluronic acid as a base ingredient, which is an instant drink for your skin!
Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and reveal smoother and brighter skin underneath. This is best done with gentle chemical exfoliants like AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) or BHAs (beta hydroxy acids). The Mayerling Forte day and night creams are ideal for encouraging skin renewal with daily application, while the Mayerling Exfoliant Cleanser is great for weekly use.
Moisturisation: Lightweight moisturisers or emulsions help to maintain the skin's moisture barrier, without leaving a greasy residue. The Skin Joy Light Moisturiser or the Mayerling ADEC cream are our favourite products for locking in hydration and creating a smooth, flawless texture!
Radiance: Products that promote radiance are important in enhancing the skin's natural glow and evening out skin tones. The best product for true radiance, brightening and anti oxidising is the Mayerling Dermal Transfer Vitamin C Serum – this is bound to help you get that glow girl!
Sun protection: Daily use of sunscreen is crucial to prevent UV damage and maintain your skin's clarity and youthful appearance. Your skincare routine is simply not complete without a high-quality sunscreen. So, the last step to Glass skin is our Perfecting Skin Trio - this tinted SPF is the icing on the cake, formulated for protection, but also hydration and to even out your natural skin tone.
So, there you have it – getting Glass skin is achievable, but it requires a combination of consistency in skincare practices, as well choosing the right products that promote good skin health, like our recommendations above.
