The pursuit of flawless and radiant skin has always been a top priority in the world of beauty. Recently, a trend known as "glass skin" has taken the skincare community by storm. This trend refers to achieving a complexion so smooth, hydrated, and luminous that it appears as clear and translucent as glass. If you've been wondering how to attain this enviable skin texture, you're in luck! We will explore the secrets to achieving glass skin and reveal the steps to incorporate into your skincare routine for a truly radiant complexion.

Step 1: Double Cleansing

The foundation of any skincare routine, double cleansing, is crucial for achieving glass skin. Begin with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and excess sebum, followed by a gentle water-based cleanser to deep clean your skin without stripping away essential moisture.

Step 2: Exfoliation

Regular exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and impurities, revealing a fresher, smoother complexion. Opt for a chemical exfoliant containing AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) or BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acids) to promote cell turnover and unclog pores gently. Be cautious not to over-exfoliate, as it can lead to skin irritation, and be sure to use SPF during the day as exfoliation can make your skin more sensitive! 

Step 3: Hydration, Hydration, Hydration

To achieve glass skin, hydrating your skin is of utmost importance. Incorporate a hydrating toner into your routine to provide an extra layer of moisture. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe vera, which help to replenish and lock in moisture, resulting in a plump and dewy complexion.

Step 4: Essence and Serums

Essences and serums are concentrated formulas that target specific skin concerns and boost hydration. Choose products rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and ingredients like niacinamide or snail mucin that promote skin repair and brightening effects. Pat these products gently into your skin for better absorption.

Step 5: Moisturise

A lightweight, yet nourishing moisturiser is essential to seal in all the hydration and create a protective barrier for your skin. Look for products that contain ceramides, humectants, and natural oils to deeply hydrate and retain moisture. Consider using a sleeping mask or night cream for intense overnight hydration.

Step 6: Face oils

Incorporating a face oil into your glass skin routine can provide an extra boost of hydration and nourishment, helping you achieve that coveted smooth and radiant complexion. Our Honey Infused Face Oil is an antioxidant powerhouse, perfect for brightening your complexion and giving your skin the perfect moisture boost to finish your routine. Honey is amazing for your skin due to its ability to attract and retain moisture, giving your skin a beautiful honey glow.

How to use Face Oil for glass skin

Here's how you can include our Face oil in your glass skin routine: Gently warm a few drops of the Honey Infused Face Oil between your palms by rubbing them together. This step helps to enhance absorption and spread the oil evenly across your face.

You have two options for applying the face oil: patting or massaging it into your skin. For the patting method, gently press the oil onto your face using your fingertips, focusing on areas that require extra hydration. Alternatively, you can massage the oil into your skin using upward circular motions, which not only helps with absorption but also promotes circulation and a healthy glow.

Incorporating facial massages into your skincare routine can elevate the glass skin effect. Gently massage your face in upward motions to improve blood circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and enhance the absorption of skincare products.

Step 7: Sun Protection

Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial in maintaining a youthful and glass-like complexion. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days. Sunscreen shields your skin from sun damage, prevents pigmentation, and maintains the overall health of your skin.

Step 8: Subtle Honey Glow

Dab the Honey Infused Beauty Balm onto your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, and collarbones as a nourishing alternative to a highlighter. This product is bursting with nourishing and brightening ingredients such as turmeric, our Bee Garden Oil Blend, and the Mirsalehi Honey, and will give your skin a subtle reflective glow. 

Step 9: Healthy Lifestyle Habits

Remember, achieving glass skin isn't solely about skincare products. A healthy lifestyle plays a significant role in the appearance of your skin. Get enough sleep, stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and manage stress levels. These habits will contribute to your overall skin health and radiance.

Wrapping up

The quest for glass skin may seem daunting at first, but with consistency and the right skincare routine, it is within your reach. By adopting a holistic approach that includes proper cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and sun protection, you can unlock the secrets to smooth, hydrated, and radiant skin. Remember, everyone's skin is unique, so it may take some experimentation to find the perfect combination of products that works for you.
