K-Beauty Experts Share 6 Steps to Achieving Glass Skin
Vogue has released a guide on how to achieve the coveted 'glass skin' appearance, featuring insights from K-beauty specialists Erica Choi and dermatologist Christine Hall. This trend, which started in Korea, focuses on skin hydration and overall health, tracing back to the Three Kingdoms period (37–668 BC). The regimen consists of six steps known as 'skin flooding': double cleansing, exfoliating, toning/essence, serum application, moisturizing, and sunscreen. Recommended products include SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum and Aestura ATOBarrier365 Cream. Experts emphasize the importance of gentle exfoliation with PHAs, hydration through hyaluronic acid, and daily SPF. Dermatologists Whitney Hovenic, Christina Chung, and Sarah Chung Park also suggest Anua's Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil. Key ingredients for achieving glass skin are hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C, ceramides, peptides, and centella asiatica.
