Glass Skin

[GlassArcher]

Hey! 22 y/o here with normal-combo skin type, usually only deal with blackheads and hormonal acne. I have a very basic skin care routine consisting of Cetaphil cleanser, The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum with Ceramides  and The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum , and daily SPF moisturizer. I’m looking for skincare products that help create that “glass skin” effect...?

Glass skin comes from a lot of hydration. The products that give me the most glass-like skin are: I'm From Rice Toner, Krave beauty Great Barrier Relief, iunik Propolis serum, I'm from Rice cream. Some non K-beauty honorable mentions that also give glassy, glowy skin are all the Glow Recipe products (and I have used them all), Farmacy Honey Halo, any Fourth Ray Beauty face milk (my favorites are Papaya & White Tea), Innisfree dewy glow jelly cream, Saturday skin waterfall glacier water cream. These are just some options, both affordable and high-end. Sheet masks help with glowing skin too.

It’s all about layering when it comes to having gloss skin. You start with a toner, nothing to Harsh. “Some By Me” has a good one for your acne skin. Then you use a serum(lots out there so do research), then essence(cosrx), then moisturiser. Follow up with your SPF or sleeping mask depends on the time of the day.

In Korean skincare it’s the essences that give the glass skin effect however I’m not sure I noticed a difference like I did with The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 8 oz/ 240 mL  , definitely a little harsh at first, you may even purge but now it does wonders for me. Helps get rid of texture. You can even start with lactic acid/AHA and work your way up. And then a vitamin c during the day under my spf brings a home run! Be sure to not mix your acids with niacinamide as you can lessen the effects of both
