Let's be honest for a second: have you ever been glued to an Instagram photo, mesmerized by that translucent , glassy skin? 😮 Have you wondered: how is that possible without retouching?
Well… spoiler alert : it's possible. And you don't need 12 products or a mystical ritual. Glass skin has a simple promise: ultra-hydrated, smooth, supple skin that captures the light—like glass. No oily feeling. Just a controlled glow.
And how to get it? Four steps are enough . Yes, four. No more.
🧼 Cleaner
🧪 Serum
💧 Moisturizing cream
🌞 Sunscreen
It's the foundation of any Korean skincare routine , and it works—even if you're a beginner. And if you don't know your skin type yet, we offer a free diagnosis to guide you.
Come on, come on. We'll show you how to transform your skin!
1. Cleanse gently, but thoroughly 🧼
No glass skin without clean skin. It seems obvious , but too many people skip this step or choose a cleanser that's too harsh.
👉 The goal here? Remove impurities, excess sebum and residue from the day , without damaging the skin barrier.
Say goodbye to harsh foams and harsh gels: we want a gentle, moisturizing, pH-balanced cleanser.
💡 Our favorite? Anua's Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Mousse Cleansing Foam , perfect for gently reducing the appearance of pores.
2. Apply a targeted serum to treat and boost 💡
It's THE star of the routine. Serum is like a magic concentrate that addresses your skin's real needs : radiance, hydration, wrinkles, pores, imperfections, etc.
For a successful glass skin, we rely on:
-
Hyaluronic acid for plumped and hydrated skin;
-
Niacinamide for a more even complexion;
-
Ingredients like propolis , ginseng , or snail mucin , ultra-popular in Korea for boosting radiance and repairing;
- Collagen and retinol to reduce the signs of skin aging.
✨ We highly recommend the SEOUL 1988 Serum from KSECRET : a gem for plumped, even and luminous skin.
3. Seal in moisture with moisturizer 💧
No glass without water, right? Your skin is the same. Without moisturizer, all the water provided by the serum will evaporate. And goodbye to the glow.
The cream will:
-
Strengthen the skin barrier ;
-
Smooth the skin texture ;
-
Prepare the skin to face the day (or night) .
🔑 The important thing is to choose a suitable texture:
-
Gel cream if your skin is oily or combination;
-
Rich cream if dry or sensitized.
❤️ Holy Skin favorite: Beauty of Joseon's Dynasty Cream , ultra-versatile, with rice and niacinamide to nourish, soothe, and brighten.
4. Never forget sunscreen ☀️
Want to keep that glow? Then protect it.
Sunscreen is your best ally for:
-
Prevent pigment spots ,
-
Avoid premature skin aging ,
-
And above all… keep a luminous and even complexion .
And no, it's not just for vacations. Even in winter, even in the shade: UV rays penetrate everywhere . A good SPF50+ every morning, and your skin stays in tip-top shape.
💎 The must-have? The Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum from SKIN1004 . Lightweight, hydrating, soothing, perfect under makeup.

FAQ: How to get glass skin? 💬
Can you have glass skin even with oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes, of course! Glass skin isn't about "perfect" skin, but about well-hydrated, supple, and luminous skin . Oily skin can be shiny due to sebum, but a balanced routine gives it a controlled, non-greasy glow.
Is it absolutely necessary to use Korean products?
Not necessarily, but K-beauty products are known for their lightweight textures, innovative formulas, and focus on hydration. That's why they're found in every glass skin routine—and they're also what we curate on Holy Skin .
How long before I see results?
With a regular routine (morning and evening), the first improvements are visible in 2 to 3 weeks : more supple skin, a brighter complexion, and less tightness. But for a "glass" effect, it takes about 1 month — and consistency!
Last word — Glass skin to you ✨
You've seen it: having glass skin is neither complicated nor reserved for skincare professionals . It's just a question of consistency, good products, and above all... being gentle with your skin.
