Glass skin looks intimidating at first, and perhaps you might even think it’s unattainable. Many have managed to do it, so don’t feel discouraged just yet. The truth is, glass skin is all about loving your skin and giving it everything it needs–and it goes beyond makeup. 

Here’s how you can get glass skin even if you’re a beginner: 

Double Cleanse and Moisturize

The most important part of getting glass skin is knowing that your skin needs to be in its best condition even without any product. To get to that, you have to make sure that at the end of the day, you’re removing all the makeup residue and dirt your pores have accumulated. These lead to blackheads and whiteheads, and even pimples–basically bad things you don’t want if you’re aiming for glass skin. Cleanse with your makeup remover, then use a cleansing foam to get rid of all the gunk. 

Understand the Importance of Serums 

Of all the varying steps in the glass skin care routine you’ve probably seen online, perhaps one of the most confusing is the serum. You may be wondering if you need to buy face serum or if you can just skip this test. You can do either. To get healthier bare skin, you need the basics: cleanse, tone, and moisturize. Serums, however, are packed full of nourishing ingredients that give them unrivaled potency. Their rich concentration is why a drop goes a long way, which means a small bottle can last you for a long time. You’ll see a remarkable difference when you use oils and serums, but even without them, you can still get a good result. 

Choose a Dewy Finish 

If you’ve seen all the Korean models advertising makeup, you’ll see just how healthy their skin’s glow is. It’s the standard when you see Korean stars. This is one of the most important aspects of glass skin, and in fact, it’s why it has become so popular. Everyone wants that youthful, effortless glow. Thankfully, you can get this look easily if you take care of your skin and choose the right finish. That means going dewy instead of matte, or at least semi-matte. You want a little shine, but not oily. You want your makeup to look as natural as possible, and what’s more natural than skin that catches the light in all the right places?  

Go with a Finishing Spray

Finishing products come in different forms to fit different skin types. If you’re looking for something more natural and less matte, a spray is the perfect choice. This helps set your makeup without robbing it of its dewy finish. If you wear a finishing powder, that’s what happens. You can choose to skip the final powder, of course, but then that would mean your makeup will not last as long. 

Caring for your skin doesn’t need to be too complicated. Even if your aim is glass skin, you can go with simple but trusted makeup moves to get desirable results.
