How to get a glass skin
Most people equate glass skin with perfect skin – clear, poreless and silky smooth. But is this level of perfection realistic, or does it just make you feel less than a social media filter? Contrary to popular belief, glass skin isn’t about getting the perfect complexion; it’s about achieving it. It’s about nourishing your skin so that it’s healthy, hydrated and happy. With the right routine, skin-friendly products and a little Korean skincare inspiration, you can enjoy glassy skin without hating your skin.
- Start double cleansing
The first step to achieving glassy skin is to start at the top. Double cleansing is the process of cleansing the skin twice, first using an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, dirt and excess oil, and then using a water-based cleanser to deep clean the skin. This technique ensures that all impurities are removed from the skin, setting the stage for a healthy, clear complexion.
Whether you cleanse twice a day or add it to your daily routine a few times a week should be determined by how your skin reacts and your activities during the day. For this technique, use an oil-based cleanser, such as BOM Voyage Cleansing Balm, and a water-based cleanser, such as our signature Drift Away™ Cleanser, on your hands. Use each product as usual for a two-stage cleansing process – massage gently and rinse with warm water.

- Balance and Hydrate
Now that you’ve deep-cleaned your skin, it’s time to restore your skin’s natural pH balance. Using a toner helps to remove any remaining impurities and prepares the skin to better absorb the rest of your skincare routine. The right toner can actually moisturize and soothe your skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and revitalized. Look for toners that contain gentle ingredients like niacinamide and evening primrose oil, and avoid toners that contain alcohol or fragrance.
On the other hand, a serum is a lightweight, watery formula designed to penetrate deeply into the skin. It is enriched with moisturizing and brightening ingredients that help plump and brighten the skin. To get the most out of both, use our Connecting Mist Serum and Toner – a multi-functional mist that combines an oil-based serum with a water-based toner to balance, soften and moisturize your skin with just a few sprays.

- Brighten and Smooth
To achieve glassy skin, you need your complexion to appear hydrated and bright. An effective way to achieve this is to incorporate a Vitamin C serum or concentrate into your daily routine, such as our Sight C-er Vitamin C Concentrate further enriched with barrier-protecting Squalane, skin-tone-evening Niacinamide and soothing Vitamin E. 4
Vitamin C is an antioxidant known for its brightening properties. It helps even out skin tone and improves the overall glow of the skin. In addition, it aids in the production of collagen, which is essential for maintaining a youthful, smooth appearance.
- Moisturizing
After hydrating and brightening, it’s time to lock in all the essentials with a moisturizer. You’ll want to use a moisturizer that is lightweight, non-greasy and rich in hydrating and brightening ingredients.
A good moisturizer helps prevent moisture loss from your skin, keeping it hydrated and plump. Look for moisturizers that contain hyaluronic acid, glycerin or ceramides to help keep your skin hydrated. In addition, ingredients rich in vitamin C and antioxidants can brighten skin tone and improve skin texture. When choosing a glass skin product, opt for one that is free of heavy oils and fragrances that can clog pores and cause breakouts. Our daily go-to?
