Glass Skin Goals: How to Get That Clear, Dewy Glow
Want poreless, radiant skin that looks like glass? Learn how to achieve the coveted K-beauty “glass skin” look through hydration, gentle exfoliation, and glow-enhancing steps.
What Is Glass Skin?
Glass skin is a K-beauty term used to describe ultra-smooth, intensely hydrated, and luminous skin—so clear it almost looks transparent. Think dewy, plump, and light-reflective—not oily or shiny.
Achieving this glow doesn’t happen overnight. It’s all about consistency, layering the right products, and treating your skin with care.
Step 1: Start with a Gentle Cleanse
To get that crystal-clear finish, start with a clean slate. Use a low pH cleanser that doesn’t strip your skin. Bonus points for a double cleanse at night—first an oil cleanser, then a water-based one. Tip: Avoid harsh foaming cleansers that leave your skin feeling tight or dry.
Step 2: Exfoliate—But Keep It Gentle
Sloughing off dead skin is key for smoothness and light reflection. Use a chemical exfoliant like:
Glass skin is hydrated skin. That means using multiple layers of lightweight hydration, like:
Hydrating toners
Essence
Hyaluronic acid serums
Layering tip: Press products in with your hands instead of using cotton pads for better absorption.
Step 4: Seal It In with Moisturizer
Lock in all that hydration with a gel-cream or water-based moisturizer. Look for ingredients like:
Squalane
Glycerin
Ceramides
You want a smooth, bouncy finish—never sticky or greasy.
Step 5: Add a Glow-Boosting Serum
To truly glow, introduce a serum that enhances radiance. Top picks include:
Niacinamide (brightening + barrier support)
Vitamin C (fades dark spots + boosts collagen)
Peptides (plumping + smoothing)
Use in the morning under sunscreen or at night before moisturizing.
Step 6: SPF—Every. Single. Day.
Dewy skin means nothing without protection. Apply a lightweight, dewy-finish sunscreen daily—even indoors—to prevent UV damage and dullness.
Look for SPF 30+ with ingredients like:
Centella Asiatica (calming)
Green tea extract (antioxidant)
Hyaluronic acid (hydrating)
Final Thoughts
Glass skin isn’t about perfection—it’s about health. With the right routine, consistency, and ingredients that hydrate, nourish, and protect, your skin will start to glow from within.
