1. What Exactly Is Glass Skin?
Glass Skin is that ultra-smooth, glass-like finish that reflects light for a lit-from-within glow. It’s not an Instagram filter—it’s the real deal achieved by layering lightweight, hydrating products to seal in moisture and boost luminosity. The secret? A toner to prep, a hydrating essence to plump, a concentrated ampoule to target, and a moisturizer to lock it all in. By gently layering each step, you build that signature reflective sheen without looking greasy.
● Real-Life Example
During my first trip to Hongdae, fellow traveler Amy sent me a pic after trying this routine for just three days—and her Insta blew up with compliments on her radiant skin!
● 3 Practical Tips
Tap, don’t wipe: Use your palms to pat products in gently, so you avoid tugging and maximize absorption.
Extend to your neck: A glowing face deserves a glowing neckline—don’t skip it!
Nighttime is prime: Save the potent ampoule for your evening ritual for deeper nourishment.
