Here are 5 steps to have Flawless glass skin
Use Sunscreen
Koreans really use a heck of a lot of sunscreens; no matter what age or gender, sunscreen always comes first. Men, women, and kids all of them use sunscreen. Koreans really start using it at a very young age. Korean mothers use to put sunscreen on their kids since they’re really young and make it a habit.
So, why is it so important to use sunscreen? Actually, it’s not really about preventing you from getting sunburned or getting tender, it’s so much more than that. It protects your skin from UV rays that cause hyperpigmentation, skin damage, also premature aging.
If you buy Korean makeup products, you will see that all of them have SPF and usually PA +++. And the thing you may not be aware of about sunscreen is that you need to constantly RE-apply sunscreen for it to be effective.
If you haven’t re-applied, it’s as if you haven’t used it at all. Reapply every 2 hours! Disregarding how high the SPF is on your sunscreen, you need to re-apply it consistently at least every 2 hours. Especially during the hours of 12 PM and 4 PM, the time when you get the most UV exposure.
If you can’t re-apply consistently throughout the entire day, do at least during the time block. So, if you want to have that glass skin, ensure you’re getting protection from all the by-products of sun damage, wrinkles, sunspots, etc.
I highly recommend Sun Screen Shimmer Sun Essence SPF 30; I have loved this sunscreen this has a pink shimmer in it, so it brightens up your complexion but doesn’t have any white cast, so it doesn’t make you feel like a ghost. It does smell so divine. \
Cushion Foundations
Koreans actually invented cushion foundations, and they actually patented them, so when you see cushion foundations from French or US brands like L’Oréal or YSL, they are all made in Korea. And What I love about cushion foundations is just give a natural sheer-looking finish.
Koreans really care about their skincare. So, most cushion foundations have skincare benefits such as hydration, SPF, and anti-aging properties. It’s not all just about makeup. It’s also semi-skincare that takes care of your skin.
Choosing a cushion foundation may be really overwhelming. I know because there are so many in the market out there.
So, here I have two in my line that I really love and recommend. First is JungSaemMool Essential Skin Nuder Cushion Light, it is a Korean brand. This cushion gives you the effect of wearing foundation, it makes your skin looks so beautiful, and it has decent coverage; it’s definitely buildable. And it doesn’t have like a completely moisturizing, dewy finish. It sorts of has a semi-matte but a light glow.
And the second is AGE 20’s Signature Double Full Cover Cushion Foundation. It is also a Korean brand that comes with not only a cushion foundation that provides full coverage but also completes with SPF 50 as a sun protector. It has great coverage and makes the skin tone very smooth; also very moisturizing if you have dry skin and is great for your sensitive skin.
Hydration
You know the goal of Korean women is not just to have clear skin; they want perfect, moisturized, dewy and youthful plum-looking skin. And how do we achieve that through hydration?
Forget about the traditional cleanse, tone, and moisture. Korean have like ten skincare routines. But if you’re in a rush and can’t do any skincare routine, the easiest way to get glass skin is by using mist as your hydration. And powder up a little bit around the mouth and nose part to get glass skin.
I love using MISSHA Time Revolution to hydrate my skin whenever I have no time to take care of my skin or whenever I have a busy day.
Double Cleansing
Double cleansing is especially important in your nighttime routine because, after a long day, your skin gets exposed to a lot of things like dust and impurities, excluding makeup.
This double cleansing requires two different types of cleanser. You need an oil cleanser to remove all of the makeup, and you can continue with a water-based cleanser to really deep cleanse your skin and hydrate your skin.
Our best choice is THE FACE SHOP Rice Water Bright Bundle.
Eat Nutritious Goods
What you eat and what you put inside your body is really affecting you in and out. It does affect your skin look.
So, if you want to have a ‘glass-skin’ look, you must consume nutritious food to keep your body healthy and get those flawless skin.
Korean have used to eat Kimchi a lot since they were kids, and did you know that kimchi has a lot of nutrition? It is really healthy food; it has antibacterial properties, Vit A, and much more.
And do not forget to have some water and drink a lot to keep you in hydrate and as your natural hydration. Also, consume a lot of fruits, especially Vit C-rich, to nourish your skin, which will help you to get a glass skin look naturally.
