Glass Skin Routine: 7 Steps to Achieve a Flawless Glow

Glass skin – a term that originated in South Korea – refers to an ultra-smooth, hydrated, and radiant complexion that looks as clear and luminous as glass. Achieving this sought-after look requires a dedicated skincare routine focused on deep hydration, nourishment, and a healthy skin barrier. Here’s a seven-step guide to help you get that flawless glow.

Double Cleanse for a Fresh Start

A clean canvas is essential for any skincare routine. Double cleansing ensures that all impurities, excess oil, and makeup are thoroughly removed without stripping the skin.

• Step 1: Oil-Based Cleanser – An oil cleanser dissolves sunscreen, makeup, and excess sebum. Massage it into dry skin and rinse with lukewarm water.
• Step 2: Water-Based Cleanser – A gentle foaming or gel cleanser removes leftover impurities and sweat. Look for pH-balanced formulas to avoid over-drying your skin.

Sensoo’s Recommendation: Try a hydrating gel cleanser infused with soothing ingredients to maintain moisture balance while cleansing deeply.

Exfoliate for a Smooth Texture

Gentle exfoliation is key to removing dead skin cells and achieving that luminous, even-toned complexion. Choose between:

• Chemical Exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) – Glycolic acid, lactic acid, or salicylic acid help brighten and unclog pores.
• Enzyme Exfoliants – Derived from fruits like papaya and pineapple, enzyme exfoliants work gently on sensitive skin.

Limit exfoliation to 2-3 times a week to prevent irritation and maintain a healthy skin barrier.

Hydrating Toner to Prep the Skin

A hydrating toner replenishes moisture and preps your skin to absorb the next steps effectively. Opt for a toner with:

• Hyaluronic acid for deep hydration
• Green tea extract for soothing benefits
• Rice water for brightening effects

Apply toner with your hands or a cotton pad, gently patting it into the skin for better absorption.

Essence for Deep Nourishment

Essences are lightweight, concentrated skincare products that provide hydration and boost skin cell turnover. Look for ingredients like:

• Fermented extracts to strengthen the skin barrier
• Niacinamide for brightening and balancing oil production
• Panthenol to soothe and calm sensitive skin

Apply a few drops, pressing it into your skin until fully absorbed.

Targeted Serum for Radiance and Barrier Repair

Serums contain active ingredients designed to target specific skin concerns, such as dullness, redness, or dehydration. For glass skin, choose a serum that enhances radiance and strengthens the skin barrier.

Dr Jart Cicapair Serum 30ml: A Game-Changer for Redness and Hydration

One of the best serums to incorporate into your glass skin routine is Dr. Jart Cicapair Serum 30ml. This powerful formula, infused with Centella Asiatica (Cica), works to calm redness, repair the skin barrier, and provide deep hydration. With regular use, it helps to achieve a smooth, luminous glow while soothing sensitive skin.

Apply 2-3 drops of Dr Jart Cicapair Serum 30ml to your face and gently press it into the skin until fully absorbed.

Lock in Moisture with a Lightweight Cream

A good moisturizer seals in all the hydration and nutrients from the previous steps. Choose one that:

• Contains ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier
• Has a gel-like consistency to keep skin plump without feeling heavy
• Includes antioxidants like vitamin E to protect against environmental stressors

Massage the moisturizer into your skin using upward strokes for better absorption.

Sunscreen for Ultimate Protection

The final and most crucial step in any skincare routine is sunscreen. UV rays can cause premature aging, dark spots, and damage the skin barrier, preventing you from achieving glass skin. Look for:

• SPF 30 or higher for daily protection
• Broad-spectrum coverage to shield against UVA and UVB rays
• Lightweight, non-greasy formulas that work well under makeup

Reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours, especially if you’re outdoors.

Conclusion

Achieving glass skin requires patience and consistency. By following these seven steps—double cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, nourishment, targeted treatments, moisture sealing, and sun protection—you can gradually attain a luminous and flawless complexion. Incorporate high-quality products like Dr. Jart Cicapair Serum 30ml and gentle, hydrating options from Sensoo to enhance your results. Stay dedicated to your routine, and you’ll be glowing in no time!
