What is "Glass Skin"?
If you're already familiar with K-beauty's concept of skincare, you'll know that they put skin's hydration at the top of the list for great complexion. Glass skin is essentially an upgraded version of hydrating the skin, giving it lots of moisture from the inside out for even, poreless, translucent skin that radiates with a youthful glow. The glassy-like sheen doesn't come overnight, and it definitely pays to pay attention to what and how you're putting onto your face.
Seven Skin Method
Are you ready to meet our glass skin method of choice? In Korea, toners have a more viscous texture and contain moisturizing properties that not just remove leftover residue, but also add an extra hydration step to your routine. They're more commonly referred to as "skin" in Korea, and by layering it on seven times, it plumps up the skin and leaves a gorgeous dew where the light hits. The Seven Skin Method consists of you applying on the skin generously and patting it in gently with your fingers. Repeat seven times, and we guarantee by the time you're done, you'll have a glow worthy of a glassy goddess.
We love Real Skin Healthy Vinegar Skin Toner in Mulberry, Half Moon Eyes Milky Jelly Toning Essence and The Face Shop Rice Ceramide Moisture Toner.

We love the gorgeous sheen left on the skin and this method is especially fantastic for those of us who get really dry, flaky skin after a couple of hours. What do you think of Korea's latest beauty trend? Would you like to try this out for yourself? Let us know in the comments down below, and if you have any beauty tips for glass skin, be sure to share them too!
Koreans have beautiful skin, no wonder they are leading when it comes to skincare. Many are swooning over different skincare regimens and products from Korea. Plus, the weather is really great that is why the glass skin is perfect for them. As for me, I do have oily skin which most of Filipinos have because of our hot and humid weather that is why I think the Glass skin is a no-no for us. Probably, a dewy is much better.
ReplyDeleteAh, interesting insight there! Maybe if you used a lighter toner/ skin, you'll still be able to achieve glass skin without it being too heavy and sticky?

I would definitely try it out in a heartbeat, the winters are very dry here in Canada and my skin and hair dries up in no time. If only I knew what brands these products are,I would definitely give them a try.
ReplyDeleteHi Marge! The products featured in the video above are from a Korean brand called the Half Moon Eyes. You can purchase their products via our website www.althea.kr :) Other products mentioned above are from the brands Real Skin and The Face Shop. Hope this helps!
DeleteSeven skin has saved my skin this winter! We live in the American south but it’s been a cold winter, and the forced air heat usually has me mummified by Christmas. Not this year, I started seven skin sometime in November. No dry skin, no flakes, just a dewy glow!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Glad to hear it's worked for you! Remember that you can use any hydrating toner, and be sure to pick ingredients that give benefits to your skin for an extra boost <3
