What’s all the fuss about ‘glass skin’?
WHAT IS IT?
“Glass skin is a term made popular by the Korean beauty movement. It refers to skin so poreless, even-toned, smooth and dewy that it resembles glass,” says Dermalogica’s education manager Emma Hobson. “The correct product regimen is key.”
HOW DO YOU GET IT? 1 DOUBLE UP
“Firstly, it’s really important to double cleanse nse to ensu ensure e you remove all pollution, oil and dirt and to prevent skin from m becoming dull and congested,” says Emma. TRY 1 Dermalogica Precleanse $63.50
2 EXFOLIATE – GENTLY
“I’d then recommend an AHA exfoliant. It’ll slough off dull, rough skin and promote cellular renewal by increasing cell turnover rates, so you’ll have younger, plumper skin cells.” TRY 2 Kora Organics Age-defying AHA Facial Exfoliator $54.95
3 MIST IT
“A hydrating toner or essence will boost your skin’s moisture levels considerably, and can be used throughout the day for an extra glowy look.” TRY 3 Andalou Naturals Willow Bark Pure Pore Toner $19.99
4 SHEET STARS
“Once or twice a week, add a sheet mask to your routine. This will add yet another layer of hydration to the skin.”
5 SUPER SERUM
“Hyaluronic acid can hold 1000 times its weight in water. Invest in a serum rich in this ingredient to keep your skin moist.”
6 MEGA MOISTURE
“Lastly, look for a moisturiser with SPF 30+ and energising ingredients, like vitamins A, C and E to protect the skin.”
