Korea’s Glass Skin Trend And How To Get It

It’s the latest skincare trend to make its way Down Under from beauty-obsessed South Korea.

Today we’re taking a look at Korea’s glass skin trend and how to get it.

What Is It?

Glass skin (or “yuri pibu” as it’s known in Korean) refers to translucent looking skin that is toned, hydrated, healthy and fresh.

If you imagine your skin like a piece of glass – dewy and luminous with no pores – you’ve got the idea behind Korea’s latest skincare craze.

Here’s Korea’s glass skin trend and how to get it.

How To Get It

To achieve glass skin, you’ll need lightweight layers that plump and brighten the complexion.

The key ingredient is hydration.

To guarantee the glow, try a routine that includes Double Cleansing > Toning > Essence > Sheet Mask > Serum > Moisturiser.

Glass Skin Guide

1 Double Cleanse

The glass skin routine should start with a double cleanse to ensure any makeup, oil or dirt is properly removed. Try an oil cleanser like Subi Bare Skin Balm followed by a foaming cleanser like Subi Brightening Powder Cleanser. 

The next step is to hydrate.

2 Toner And Essence

Follow your double cleanse with a hydrating toner like iUNIK's Hyaluronic Acid Toner and a brightening essence like Tosowoong Propolis Brightening Essence.

3 Sheet Mask

Then comes the quintessential Korean step – the sheet mask.

Most Koreans use a sheet mask every night, as it’s the quickest way to achieve the plump, smooth skin look that’s essential for this trend.

Maximise your mask by choosing an all-rounder like Benton's Snail Bee High Content Mask. This tackles redness, dullness, dehydration and post-acne pigmentation at once.

4 Serum

Follow with up with a serum.

Your serum should contain plenty of active ingredients to tackle any skin problems. To create glass skin, choose something hydrating and brightening like Tosowoong Propolis Sparkle Ampoule.

5 Moisturise

To lock in moisture, especially overnight while you sleep, finish with a moisturising cream like Jelly Ko Bubble Tea Steam Cream.
