Nowadays, having youthful skin is one of the most popular skin goals. The desire is understandable—youthful-looking skin is not only physically appealing, but it’s also a sign of good health. Along with this goal came the popularity of glass skin. The honey-dewy appearance makes your youthful look all the more impactful and convincing.
Luckily, the routine to achieving youthful, glass skin doesn’t involve a long, complicated list of steps. Read on to learn more about it.
What is Glass Skin?
Glass skin is characterized by poreless, hydrated, wrinkle-free skin that creates a smooth appearance. As its name suggests, glass skin is all about that clear complexion that gives off an almost transparent look. To get this glow from within, you must follow a holistic approach and an anti aging skin care routine.
The Best Skincare Routine for Youthful, Glass Skin
1. Double cleanse
The first step in achieving that youthful, glass skin is double-cleansing. Prevalent in Asian beauty, double cleansing is based on exfoliation. When prepping your face, removing the dead skin cells, bacteria, and other impurities clogging your pores is essential. This will reduce blemishes, help fight acne, blackheads, or whiteheads, and take you a step closer to achieving wrinkle-free skin.
To start, you can use micellar water or cleansing oil to break down residue, dirt, pollutants, and excess grease in your face. For the second wash, apply a water-based cleanser such as the Revitalift Milky Foam, which ensures gentle exfoliation up to the deep ends of your pores.
2. Use a toner
Toning is significant in Korean skincare because it can restore pH levels, promote hydration, and help your skin absorb the products in your regimen better. Right after rinsing your face with a cleanser, pat a small amount of toner on your face with your palms or use a cotton pad. Some experts even recommend layering the product up to six times.
Not sure where to begin? Use the Milky Toner, which instantly melts on your face, effectively reducing wrinkles, shrinking your pores, and overall lifting your skin.
3. Add an essence
An essence is typically used as a targeted treatment for blemishes and hyperpigmentation. Promoting moisture retention, they emphasize the other products in your skincare routine. The consistency of essence is a mix of toner and serum—it is watery and lightweight.
Choosing the right essence is crucial in reducing oiliness and minimizing pores for crystal clear skin. Composed of salicylic acid, an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent, the Crystal Micro-Essence is formulated with micro-droplets technology to help it penetrate deep into your skin.
4. Boost your skin with a serum
Raved by skincare experts, serums are recognized for their high concentration of multitasking active ingredients. They reverse the signs of aging and nourish the skin. Whatever your skin type and concern may be, rest assured that there is a serum for you.
For instance, choosing one with ceramides, vitamin C, retinoids, vitamin E, and, most importantly, hyaluronic acid will promote moisture and collagen production. A Hyaluronic Acid Serum is great for every skin type because it addresses multiple issues at once. It has hydrating ingredients that restore the skin barrier. To assure maximum effectiveness, use it twice a day before moisturizing!
5. Fight wrinkles by moisturizing
With moisturizers having the thickest formula, they seal your skin’s barrier by locking in the toner, essence, and serum that you’ve applied.
If you want to achieve that ultimate hydration, using the Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid Plumping Day Cream in the morning is your best bet. This cream uses hyaluronic acid to penetrate deeper into the skin, eliminate dryness, and create long-lasting hydration. Similarly, a night cream with pro-retinol A and Centella Asiatica is a must to stimulate cell regeneration at night for plump skin and a youthful glow.
6. Don’t forget the eye cream
All-nighters, night-outs, cram sessions, or even a day under the sun—sleep deprivation, the environment, and your emotions can affect your appearance, especially the area surrounding your eyes!
Indeed, the eye area is the most fragile skin of your face, and it’s also the most prone to dryness. To remove those dry patches and eye bags, choose an eye cream that corrects wrinkles, reduces eye bags and puffiness, and lifts the eye contour. The Revitalift Concentrated Eye Cream is enriched with caffeine and pro-xylene to help improve the skin around your eyes.
7. Refine the skin with a mask
Korean culture has introduced many skincare trends and products, but arguably, masks are the most addicting! They can renew, refine, re-plump, and re-firm your skin. One of the bests yet, the Revitalift Night Cream Anti-Aging Mask has an innovative texture that promotes hydration overnight.
