Do you dream of skin that is clear, smooth and glossy like glass? Glass Skin is one of the most sought-after skin goals in Korean skincare and is about achieving healthy, hydrated and naturally radiant skin. The key lies in understanding your skin type and using the right products that are adapted to your specific needs.
Here we go through step by step how you can achieve Glass Skin - whether your skin is oily, dry, sensitive, mature or combination. These recommendations come directly from our beautician to give you the best possible results.
Acne prone skin – Cleansing and balance is key
Acne-prone skin needs products that balance sebum production, keep pores clean and at the same time maintain the skin's natural moisture balance. Overusing strong products can irritate the skin and worsen the problems, so gentleness is key.
- Oil-based cleansing: Hwarang’ Bellflower Cleansing Balm – Dissolves dirt and excess oil without clogging pores.
- Water-based cleansing: Ma:nyo Deep Pore Cleansing Foam – Deeply cleanses pores and removes impurities.
- Exfoliating: Anua LHA Moisture Peeling Gel – Gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and prevents pimples.
- Toner: Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner – Soothes the skin and balances sebum production.
- Essence: Abib Heartleaf Essence – Soothing essence that strengthens the skin barrier.
- Serum: SKIN1004 Centella Poremizing Fresh Ampoule – Reduces the appearance of pores and soothes irritated skin.
- Face cream: Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream – A light yet effective cream that moisturizes without feeling greasy.
With regular and gentle care, acne-prone skin can become balanced, calm and have a clearer surface.
Combination skin – Balance between hydration and oil control
Combination skin is a combination of oily and dry areas, where the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) is often more oily, while the cheeks can be dry. Here it is important to use products that both moisturize the dry areas and balance the sebum production in the oilier parts.
- Oil-based cleansing: Hwarang’ Bellflower Cleansing Balm – Dissolves makeup and dirt without drying out the skin.
- Water-based cleansing: Beauty Of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser – Fresh and gentle cleansing that balances the skin.
- Exfoliating: Round Lab Pine Calming Cica Pad – Mild exfoliation that also soothes the skin.
- Facial Water: Beauty Of Joseon Glow Replenishing Rice Milk – Moisturizing and gives radiance to the skin.
- Essence: Tocobo Bifida Biome Essence – Strengthens the skin's barrier and provides a more even skin tone.
- Serum: Isntree Green Tea Fresh Serum – Lightweight serum that controls sebum production and hydrates.
- Face cream: Purito Seoul Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream – Provides deep hydration without feeling heavy.
A well-balanced routine can help combination skin feel smooth, hydrated and comfortable all day long.
Dry skin – Build up moisture and nourishment for a radiant glow
Dry skin often needs extra moisture and nourishment to maintain its softness and natural glow. With the right products, the skin can feel comfortable and look even and fresh, while the barrier is strengthened to retain moisture better.
- Oil-based cleansing: Hwarang’ Bellflower Cleansing Balm – Gentle cleansing that effectively removes dirt and makeup without drying out the skin.
