Koreans take skincare very seriously, and that is evident from their beautiful glowing skin. Not all of that is genetic. It’s the result of an extensive skincare routine and naturally sourced hydrating extracts present in almost all Korean skincare ranges.

First originating in Korea, this glass skin trend has now reached India and other parts of the world. So how can you achieve this glass skin?

How to get glass skin?

Glass skin is a result of a healthy lifestyle and a strict skincare routine. According to Alicia Yoon, the founder of Peach n Lily, the secret to Korean glass skin is not the products but maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Eat well and live well. Your skin will glow from within while the skincare enhances your skin further. Unfortunately, there is no way to achieve this overnight.

Korean Glass Skin Routine: Step by Step

Let us start with the essential skincare products for attaining glass skin:

Cleansing water/oil and foam cleansers
Exfoliators
Toners
Essences
Serum/Face oils
Moisturizers
Sunscreens
Face Masks

1. Double cleanse your skin.

Double-cleansing is the base of Asian skincare. This is essential during your night-time skincare routine when you might have makeup and dirt to remove.

First, take some water cleanser on a cleansing pad and cleanse your face well. You can use the Innisfree Green Tea cleansing water containing freshly squeezed Jeju green tea extracts. It is better to use an oil cleanser that will meet all your makeup and gently remove those tricky eyeliner and kajal stains if you have makeup on.

After that, follow up with a gentle foaming cleanser to clear out the residual oil and dirt from your face. However, make it a point to choose products that suit your skin type. For example, the Innisfree green tea cleanser containing green tea oil and glycerin will gently clean your face without drying out your skin.

2. Exfoliate away

It is essential to remove dead skin cells and other build-ups from the surface of your skin to make it squeaky clean. This also helps in better absorption of other skincare products. For example, the Innisfree wine peeling jelly exfoliates sensitive skin gently and lends a glow to your skin.

3. Apply toners

Traditional toners are primarily formulated with alcohol. That’s why they dry out the skin. However, the concept of toners in Korean skincare is very different. Toners are mostly packed with hydro-boosting properties and moisturize your face well. This preps your skin to absorb the other skincare products well. Double cleansing deeply will open up your pores, and toner will gently close the pores and maintain the skin’s pH levels. Use the Innisfree Perfect 9 repair Skin containing glycerine, tangerine peel, mushroom extracts, and honeysuckle that hydrates dry and flaky skin and reduces wrinkles and other signs of ageing.

4. Introduce an essence to your skincare

Many of you unfamiliar with Asian skincare might ask what essence is? No, it is not a serum. It is a much thinner, water-based product that increases your skin’s ability to retain moisture. Often, essences address specific skin concerns in addition to glass skin glow. Innisfree green tea seed Essence-in-Lotion containing green tea extracts and shea butter intensely hydrates your face and corrects your skin texture.

5. Follow up with a serum/face oil.

When talking about how to get glass skin, serum/ face oil is an indispensable product. A serum doesn’t just hydrate your skin. It corrects your skin texture and reduces signs of ageing. Keep your skin baby soft with moisture-boosting serums containing hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E. Many skincare experts laud the Green Tea seed serum-containing amino acids and green tea oil as one of the best serums available in the market. You can shop for this product online at Purplle.

6. Moisturise, Moisturise, Moisturise

Layer your skin with a gentle moisturizer for an instant boost of hydration. Look for moisturisers that are light on the skin and absorbs quickly. For example, use the Innisfree green tea seed cream for intense hydration all day long.

7. Apply sunscreen

Any Korean day skincare routine is not complete without sunscreen. It is the absolute must-have product for all Koreans, and rightfully so. Our skin gets damaged a lot due to the sun and pollution as we grow. So don’t forget your sunscreen before going out, and your skin will thank you for that!! Innisfree has a range of sunscreens for various skin types. Choose your own now!

8. End with Face masks

Korean sheet masks are the absolute crowd favourite. Sheet masks hydrate and give your skin an instant glow. They come packed with various ingredients like rice water, potato, green tea, shea butter, and so on. Some of them help soothe inflamed skin and are a must-have for sensitive skin. Choose your face masks carefully based on your skin types and concerns. For example, Korean clay masks are perfect for those with oily skin. You can choose from the range of Innisfree face masks available online at our site.

Some tips and tricks on how to get glass skin naturally:

As we have discussed, achieving that perfect Korean glass skin is less about countless skincare products and more about what you eat and what you do the whole day. So look at these below-mentioned pointers to achieve that goal:

Eat more healthy fats. Healthy fatty fishes such as salmon and tuna contain high levels of omega-three fatty acids and Vitamin E, which reduces free radical damage to the skin.
Load up on fruits and veggies to stock up on vitamins and minerals.
Drink lots of water. Hydration is the key.
Get good sleep. 7-8 hours of sound sleep regularly will benefit your skin immensely.
DON’T FORGET your sunscreen every time you step out of the house.
