The world of Korean beauty has blessed us with a myriad of unique skincare trends. From the ‘Chok chok’ cleansing routine for luminous skin to ‘kkul-gwang’ for a glossy honey finish—we’ve fanned over all of them. However, one trend that has garnered the utmost love and attention from skincare aficionados the world over. You guessed it–we’re talking about the ‘glass skin’ regime.
This regime involves pampering your skin and making it healthy, plump, and even-toned. What sets it apart from the other skincare trends is the fact that it relies heavily on hydrating ingredients to maintain your skin’s pH balance. The result? Translucent skin replicating the gleam of a shard of glass.
If you religiously follow the right skincare routine, you too can get that dreamy, glass-like glow. While investing in high-quality products can help, what’s even more important is layering them in the correct order. We got in touch with Dr. Noopur Jain, Dermatologist & Founder, Skinzest Clinic, Gurugram to understand how to manoeuvre our skincare stack. Here’s an easy-to-follow 4-step guide for you:
Step 1: Double Cleanse
“A double cleanse helps with thorough cleaning. It can remove impurities, unclog your pores, and allow your skin to breathe,” says Dr. Noopur. “You can use an oil or a water-based cleanser depending on your skin type. But remember to do it twice,” she adds.
Alternatively, you can use a cleanser to wipe off your makeup in the first round followed by washing your face with Sirona’s Hydrating Face Wash. It is packed with the goodness of Tasmanian pepper fruit and hyaluronic acid. The gentle wash can cleanse and hydrate your face simultaneously and give you a visibly glowing skin instantly.
Step 2: Use A Hydrating Toner
“Toners help reset the skin’s pH level and prepare it for better absorption of the products next in line. They also soothe irritated skin and provide relief from heat-induced damage,” says Dr. Noopur.
A great option is Sirona’s Refreshing Face Toner. Its alcohol-free formula is super-gentle on the face. Plus, its skin-repairing ingredients like chamomile and vitamin C can heal your skin and leave it feeling fresh and hydrated.
Step 3: Apply A Serum
Face serums are crucial for a holistic skincare routine. They’re applied before the moisturiser for quick absorption. “Serums are loaded with antioxidants to protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals. They can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and prevent signs of ageing like wrinkles and fine lines,” explains Dr. Noopur.
For achieving a glass skin, she recommends using a serum with hyaluronic acid for deep hydration and a natural glow. And guess what? We have a perfect product in mind for you. Sirona’s Hydrating Face Serum contains 1% hyaluronic acid. Patting a few drops of this water-based serum into the skin can leave it feeling soft, supple, and dewy.
Step 4: Moisturise
Moisturising is the most crucial step of any skincare routine. But it’s even more important if your goal is to achieve a glass skin. “A moisturiser locks in the goodness of its preceding products, allowing the skin to absorb them better. It also adds that final layer of hydration and prevents the skin from losing its elasticity,” says Dr. Noopur.
You can count on Sirona’s Vitamin C Face Cream. It can help repair skin damage, control signs of ageing, and help reduce dark spots. Packed with the goodness of hyaluronic acid, it can also hydrate your skin and give you a radiant, even-toned complexion.
These four simple steps are all it takes to get the glass skin of your dreams. Follow them regularly and you’ll see a marked difference in your skin quality.
