What is glass skin?

Skincare

Glossy, glowy, glassy skin. It’s been all over TikTok and Instagram in the last year.

So, what is glass skin?

Originally starting in South Korea, this trend is all about clear, healthy skin that’s dewy and radiant from within – so smooth it’s like a piece of glass. All achieved with ultra-hydrating skincare products. When done properly, your skin should have a natural glow to it.

How to achieve glass skin: use ultra-hydrating products with teen skin-safe ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides and niacinamide. As in your everyday routine, always wear a strong SPF (our Everyday Hero is SPF50+). Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet.

Tip: it’s important to stick to a normal amount of these products and not overdo it, otherwise it can make your skin look greasy or lead to breakouts.

Should teens try the glass skin trend?

As long as you use ingredients safe for your skin, the glass skin trend is perfectly safe for teen skin. Just don’t go overboard, because it can have the opposite affect – using too many products together could create breakouts.

Stick to a simple skincare routine – your skin won’t be far away from dewy and glowy anyway!
