What exactly is “glass skin”?
“Glass skin” refers to a dewy and naturally glowing look.
The texture of glass skin is “clear, hydrated, plump, bright and naturally radiant“.
Some may consider it smooth and poreless, as in you do not see its texture on its surface, similar to actual glass. Although for the most part the idea behind Glass Skin is healthy and not perfect-looking skin: with proper care and good use of some ingredients, the focus here is not on having no pores, but in helping you achieve well-nourished, smooth skin with as few imperfections as possible and naturally radiant and dewy, which is a part of K-beauty: where beauty ideals focus on “prevention, protection, the avoidance of harsh ingredients or treatments and the maintenance of the integrity of skin at all cost“.
