How to get the Korean glass skin

So, if you’re willing to put in the work, we’ll show you how to get the gorgeous glass skin. These practices will make your skin is so healthy, even toned, and plumped with hydration, that it’ll look almost translucent, like a shard of glass. Worth the pain, eh? This is what you need to do to get that glass-like skin…
Double cleansing
The first step to every skincare regimen is cleansing. Koreans take it one step ahead with double-cleansing routine. It involves washing the face in two steps; first with an oil-based cleanser, followed by a water-based cleanser. The first step is to remove oil-based impurities such as moisturiser, sebum etc. while the second step cleanses water-based debris such as sweat and superficial dirt. Simply cleanse your skin twice, with a cleansing oil, and then with a foam-based wash.
Masking
By masking we do not mean to mask the blemishes. More like using face masks to make the skin healthy. Your skin needs to be well-hydrated so that the skin can look plumped up and dewy. Use face mask at least once a week suitable for you skin type. It can be hydrating, calming, acne resisting or brightening.
Tone and brighten
Say goodbye to dull, lifeless skin by keeping it tones and bright. Use a serum to keep your skin at its healthiest. To achieve glass-like luminosity, be sure to use a brightening, skin-rejuvenating serum that evens out your skin and reveals its natural radiance. Do spot treatment if required to get rid of age spots on the skin.
Moisturise
A lot of importance has been laid on skin moisturisation. The Korean glass skin trend also lays great emphasis on moisturising the skin. At no time your skin should be dry, even if it's oily. Opt for the right kind of moisturiser, rich or light, and keep the moisture levels in your skin up always.
Eating healthy
What we eat directly affects our skin. Eating fried and greasy food regularly can make your skin breakout. Consuming too much caffeine and alcohol can dry the skin and also not consuming enough water makes the skin lose its elasticity. Drinking water is essential for overall health ad also keeps the skin hydrated. Eating better and drinking more water is always a good idea for your body.
