Just like glass itself, glass skin refers to crystal clear, poreless, and almost translucent skin texture. The trend originated in Korea with skincare products touting super dewy, skin-smoothing benefits - and we’re showing you how we created a glass skincare routine using Beekman 1802’s goat milk skincare. See what you need to achieve this highly sought after look.
What Is Glass Skin?
It’s been nearly five years since we’ve first heard the term “glass skin” from Korean beauty experts. Having withstood the test of time, it’s clear it’s no longer “trendy” and glass skin is here to stay.
Glass skin is all about getting a super hydrated, dewy, and smooth complexion. It’s an ideal skin goal because the impossibly clear, poreless skin is just that: impossible. But we can get you pretty close. Here’s how!
The Ultimate Glass Skin Routine
If you want to know how to get glass skin, we’ve curated the perfect skin care routine using our favorite Beekman skincare products.
H3: Step One: Cleanse & Exfoliate
Because glass skin is all about clean, poreless, dewy skin, cleansing is a big part of the routine. And to prevent any moisture loss from your skin, we suggest double cleansing for most skin types (except dry!). Here’s how:
- First, use an AHA & BHA-powered botanical jelly-based cleanser like our Milk Wash to remove any makeup and dirt from the day. Be sure to apply this to dry skin first, without water!
- Next, use a gentle physical exfoliating cleanser like our Milk Scrub to rid your pores of any dirt, buildup, or excess oil. It’s safe enough for daily use on sensitive skin. It uses jojoba beads, goat milk, and oat milk to polish skin gently and minimize the appearance of pores.
Step Two: Treat
This is where the routine is personalized to you. Do you have fine lines and wrinkles? Hyperpigmentation? Uneven skin texture? Depending on your skin concern, we have glass skin serums and boosters to add into your routine.
- For collagen production, try our Electric Daisy & Peptide firming serum.
- For a smoother texture, use our Willow Bark resurfacing serum.
- For an evening retinol alternative, use our popular Bakuchiol Dream Booster serum.
- And for hyperpigmentation concerns, our Vitamin C serum is everything you need and more to brighten skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots.
Remember, each of these glass skin serums can be used together or on their own. Choose the products that target your skin concerns best.
Step Three: Hydrate
The best skin moisturizer is going to be one that deeply hydrates the skin from the inside out. And you’re in luck because our Bloom Cream is designed to strengthen the skin barrier, keep skin balanced, restore skin’s healthy hydration levels, and instantly deliver moisture.
- Massage this glass skin moisturizer into your skin using circular motions until all the product has been absorbed.
Step Four: Protect
Sun protection and moisturization are two of the most important steps in any glass skin routine. Using an SPF every day can help reduce signs of aging, even your skin texture and tone, and deliver skin-soothing benefits if you use our Hello Sunshine or Milk Tint.
- Our goat milk Hello Sunshine sunscreen offers SPF 50 and perfects the skin for the ultimate glass skin effect.
- Shake the goat milk sunscreen well before use.
- Apply liberally as your final skincare step.
- Bonus: You can use this on your body, too! Psst ... Neighbors say there’s no white cast or greasy residue either.
Step Five: Pamper
This is the fun part. Once or twice a week, you deserve to pamper your skin with an extra step or two.
- For the ultimate overnight repair, apply our Midnight Milk bakuchiol sleep mask for anti-aging benefits.
- And for those looking to resurface skin texture, you’re going to love our Potato Peel mask. Formulated with 15% glycolic acid ,10% lactobionic + lactic acid, it delivers instantly baby-soft skin and a more youthful complexion in just two weeks. Be sure to follow with our award-winning Oh! Mega Milk facial oil post-peel.
Ingredients to Look for in Glass Skin Products
When it comes to getting glass skin, you need the right glass skin ingredients. Luckily, we know what to look for to get that ultra dewy, smooth, poreless skin.
Peptides
Peptides are amino acids that help put the bounce back into your skin. By adding peptide products to your glass skin routine, you signal your body to boost collagen production for more firm, supple-looking skin.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid holds 1,000x its weight in water and is one of the best ingredients for maintaining your skin’s moisture levels. Because glass skin is all about having a dewy look, hyaluronic acid is great at forming a protective layer of hydration on the top layer of skin for a smoother, plumper look.
Vitamin C
Known for its skin-brightening benefits, our vitamin c-rich Amla Berry serum helps fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation to create that flawlessly even skin tone we’re all after.
Exfoliants
Chemical exfoliants like AHAs, BHAs, and glycolic acid are all gentle-yet-effective ingredients that help remove dead skin cells, boost collagen production, clear excess oil, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Glass Skin Tips & Tricks
As with any skincare routine, there are a few tips and tricks for the best results.
- Consistency: Stick to the glass skincare routine we laid out above and we guarantee you’ll be thrilled with the results.
- SPF: Sunscreen is more important than you might think. In fact, the best glass skin product may be SPF, so we encourage you to apply every single day (even when it’s cloudy or during the winter!).
- Hydration: It’s not just about serums and moisturizers. Drink plenty of water for the ultimate glow-from-within look and get plenty of rest each night.
Glass skin may have started as trendy, but it’s a look that’s here to stay. Now that you know how to get glass skin for yourself using goat milk skincare products from Beekman 1802, it’s time to put these ingredients to the test.
