Your journey to radiant skin starts here. Scroll for our step-by-step guide, tips and our new skincare range, proudly made in Korea.
While most beauty trends come and go, this one shows no signs of stopping. Originating from the realm of Korean skincare, the pursuit of ‘glass skin’ has become a trending topic online and amongst influencers and celebrities globally. Ever gazed in admiration at someone's glow? Then you're in the right place. Let's delve into the world of K-beauty and discover how you can achieve the glass skin look with our new-in range.
What is glass skin?
Glass skin is a worldwide beauty trend that reflects a super-smooth and deeply hydrated complexion — so much so that it looks like glass. This ethereal look is achieved through a skincare routine that focuses on intensive nourishment and layering of products to create that lit-from-within glow.
How to achieve glass skin
Achieving this look doesn’t need to break the bank. Our new, affordable Korean-made products can be found in your nearest store and easily slotted into your everyday routine. Keep scrolling for the breakdown.
Step 1: double cleanse
A clean canvas is the foundation of your skincare routine. Double cleansing ensures that all dirt and impurities from your face are completely removed, leaving a fresh base that will enhance the rest of this regime. Start by reaching for a gentle cleansing balm to break down your makeup, then follow up with our new foam cleanser. It’s designed to brighten and hydrate your skin while helping reduce redness caused by environmental stressors (AKA the harsh winter air).
Step 2: exfoliate
Exfoliating is crucial for removing dead skin cells. Aim to use a gentle exfoliant 2-3 times a week to help boost radiance and smooth skin texture.
Step 3: toner
After you’ve cleansed and exfoliated, it’s time to hydrate. A good toner helps sweep away any leftover impurities, tightens pores and floods your skin with nourishment – creating the perfect base for the following steps. Rice toners are a staple in Korean skincare regimes. Apply a few drops of ours onto a reusable cleansing pad and swipe gently on your face. For an even easier option, reach for our new gel toner pads. Infused with hyaluronic acid, they’re designed to hydrate and plump your skin at home or on the go. The perfect little pick-me up to add into your basket.
Step 4: serums
For this step, it’s important to choose a serum that targets your skin concerns. Niacinamide is great for minimizing blemishes, while salicylic acid works well to refine skin texture. But, if you’re focused on achieving a super radiant glow, the PS...Glass Skin Serum is your go-to. Infused with cica extract, a soothing medicinal herb used in traditional Asian medicine, the formula effortlessly sinks into your skin, revealing a refreshing, dewy finish.
Step 5: collagen masks
You may have seen collagen masks appear all over your feed recently, and for good reason. These sheet masks are made to be worn overnight, with a cooling hydrogel texture that turns from white to clear as the moisture transfers onto your skin. Designed to deliver an instant, radiant glow, they’re the perfect mid-flight or post night-out hydration hit. Priced at just $4, choose from our affordable options below to find your new skin savior.
Step 6: moisturizer
Lock in your hydration with a lightweight moisturizer. Set to add a refreshing finish to your skincare routine, the PS...Glass Skin Gel Moisturizer is infused with effective ceramides and probiotics, leaving your skin soft and bouncy, without adding a heavy feel.
