There is something incredibly chic about the translucent glow of the glass skin trend.
Clear, hydrated, dewy skin is Amelia Singson’s specialty, and she’s here to show us how to achieve it in this glass skin skincare routine.
This is the perfect routine for anyone getting ready for an event, or even for someone wanting to let their skin shine through their everyday makeup look.
For the glass skin look, your best bet is applying lots of thin layers of hydration. This can be achieved by adding bonus steps such as mists, essences and hydrating serums.
Remember to take your skincare down your neck and onto your decolletage.
Glass skin is a K-Beauty trend, which comes from layering a number of ultra-hydrating products to create a smooth, glass-like finish on the skin. You can achieve this glass-like texture by adding multiple extra steps to your skincare routine.
While blemish and pore-free skin is not a reality for everyone (let's be honest, nor should it be), we love the emphasis this trend puts on skincare and nourishing, barrier loving ingredients. The reflective, ethereal glow this skincare routine creates boosts any makeup routine you put together next, and is perfect for dry, dehydrated skin types.
Start your skincare routine with the Murad Age Reform Hydro-Glow Aqua Peel (4 Pack). This is a 2 step mask, with an exfoliant treatment. First, take the Retexturising Swab (containing Glycolic & Lactic acid) and swipe it over clean skin. Then, apply the Moisture Infusion Mask to the face for 15-20 minutes. This combination will remove the layer of dead skin from your face, and then boost your skin’s hydration levels.
A spritz of the Jurlique Sweet Violet & Grapefruit Hydrating Mist will revive your skin post-mask before your next step.
Amelia uses a pump of the Murad Age Reform Hydro-Dynamic Quenching Essence 30ml after cleansing, massaging it evenly into the skin. This essence hydrates and smooths the skin, preparing it for your next step.
Next, apply a pump of the asap super B complex 30ml. This serum contains Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid to clear and plump the skin.
The Pai Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil is a nourishing face oil and a bone fide glow giver. Apply several drops to your face, neck and decolletage, and lightly massage the product in. If you’re on the oilier side, you can try a dry oil like the Murad Professional Multi-Vitamin Infusion Oil.
Next, Amelia uses the SALT BY HENDRIX Rose Quartz Love Gua Sha. This face tool helps with lymphatic drainage, depuffs the face, and gives it an extra glow. After applying your oil, gently glide the stone across your jawline, cheeks, brow, forehead and neck.
Amelia uses a light moisturiser like the Avène A-Oxitive Day Smoothing Water-Cream. This adds another light layer of hydration to the skin as well as antioxidant protection.
As her final step, Amelia uses the Murad Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector 15ml, patting a small drop underneath her eyes. This formula is packed with stabilized Vitamin C, so it brightens and helps to fight the signs of fatigue.
