The idea behind glass skin is incredibly enticing. Can you imagine skin so smooth, hydrated, and poreless that it might as well be glass? There\u2019s a reason why the concept of glass skin exploded out of the Korean beauty scene. In this post, we\u2019ll explain how to get glass skin with the right products, techniques, and treatments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The concept of glass skin ideal is strongly associated with Asian beauty. It\u2019s related to the concept of \u201cchok chok\u201d which refers to skin that\u2019s very bouncy thanks to its hydration level. The term glass skin refers to similarly moisturized skin but with a focus on its appearance. Just like glass, the skin is meant to have a high level of reflectiveness thanks to the smoothness of its surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The secret to achieving glass skin is all about making sure the skin is as plump up and hydrated as can be, since having a lot of moisture from below leads to a firmer, healthier look at the surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That said, there are other glass skin skincare routine measures to take. They include exfoliation and cleansing to ensure that the pores are clear and there\u2019s no dead skin buildup casting its dulling effect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n From having the perfect glass skin routine to trying the occasional treatment, these are our key tips on how to get glass skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hydration is the most important aspect of achieving glass skin in the short term. You want to have multiple hydration steps in your routine. Use your hydrating glass skin products from thinnest to thickest:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The dead cells on the very surface of our skin make up a layer called the stratum disjunctum. This rough, textured, scaly dead skin makes your skin feel textured and prevents it from absorbing moisture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If your skin looks dull, dry, or rough, but you\u2019re not dealing with irritation, you just need to exfoliate that stratum disjunctum away. You may benefit from a <\/span>simple chemical peel<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>JetPeel<\/span><\/a> facial, or you can introduce a gentle exfoliant for home use like the <\/span>ZO Skin Health<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Exfoliation Accelerator<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Polish<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Dual Action Scrub<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nothing beats retinoids when it comes to ensuring smoother skin at home. Ingredients like retinol and retinoic acid stimulate better skin cell renewal by triggering receptors in the skin. They\u2019re <\/span>proven to reduce wrinkles and discoloration<\/span><\/a>, leading to smoother skin in the longer term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That said, choosing the right retinol depends on your skin type, so it\u2019s best to get a professional recommendation. Those new to skincare or with sensitive skin will want a lower percentage formula like the<\/span> ZO Skin Health Retinol Skin Brightener 0.25%<\/span><\/a>, while those with tougher skin can try a higher percentage. At Discovery Laser, our doctor can also recommend prescription options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Skincare can go a long way towards helping you achieve glass skin, but some things can only be changed with a more powerful treatment. Texture issues like scarring or visible pores might be visible on the surface, but they often start at the lower layers of the dermis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In that case, the best way to correct such concerns is with treatments that trigger renewal on those lower levels of the skin, like <\/span>microneedling<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>laser treatments<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anything that has the potential to cause dehydration in your skin is a no-no in a glass skin routine. Cleansers and soaps are major culprits, so if your face wash leaves your skin feeling tight then it\u2019s time to switch it out for something more gentle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve recently introduced the <\/span>ZO Skin Health Balancing Cleansing Emulsion<\/span><\/a>, which is the creamiest, most nourishing cleanser you can imagine. It still flawlessly removes impurities and debris that can clog your pores. That said, if your skin is a little oilier, you can use a non-stripping gel face wash like the <\/span>ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Cleanser<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n On their journey to glass skin, people often damage their skin barrier by over-exfoliating or using both retinoids and exfoliants. This can end up making issues like texture and dryness worse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Another thing to consider is whether your goals are achievable, or achievable through skincare alone. For example, it\u2019s normal for humans to have pores! Our pores serve an important purpose, and while certain treatments can make them look smaller, you can\u2019t get rid of them completely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We can guide you through the entire process to get glass skin, from the right skincare products to the most effective treatments. Ultimately, glass skin can be a lovely goal, but it\u2019s important to start by analyzing your skin\u2019s individual needs. No skincare routine is one-size-fits-all.
