How to Get Glass Skin
By Wander Beauty | Jul 10, 2023
Most people equate glass skin with perfect skin – clear, poreless, and silky smooth. But is this level of perfection realistic, or does it just leave you feeling inferior to the filters of social media? Contrary to popular belief, glass skin isn’t about achieving a perfect complexion; it’s about nourishing your skin so that it’s healthy, hydrated, and happy. With the right routine, skin-loving products, and a bit of Korean skincare inspiration, you can enjoy glass skin without hating your own.
1. Start double cleansing
The first step in achieving glass skin is to start with a clean slate. Double cleansing is the process of cleansing your skin twice, first with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil and then with a water-based cleanser to deeply clean the skin. This technique ensures that all impurities are removed from your skin, laying the foundation for a healthy, clear complexion.
Whether you double cleanse daily or add it into your routine a couple of times a week should be determined by your skin's response and what you get up to during the day. For this technique, have an oil-based cleanser, such as B.O.M. Voyage Cleansing Balm, as well as a water-based cleanser, like our iconic Drift Away™ Cleanser, on hand. Go through a two-phase cleansing process using each product as you normally would – massaging in gently and washing away with lukewarm water.

Now that you've deeply cleansed your skin, it's time to bring it back to its natural pH balance. Applying toner helps to remove any remaining impurities and prep your skin for optimal absorption of the rest of your skincare routine. The right toner can actually hydrate and soothe your skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Look for a toner that contains gentle ingredients like niacinamide and evening primrose oil, and avoid any toners that contain alcohol or fragrances.
Essence, on the other hand, is a lightweight, watery formula that's designed to penetrate deeply into the skin. It's packed with hydrating and brightening ingredients that help to plump and brighten your skin. To get the best of both, reach for our Mist Connection Essence and Toner – a multi-tasking mist that combines an oil-based essence and water-based toner to balance, soften and hydrate your skin in just a few spritzes.

To achieve glass skin, you want to aim for a complexion that appears dewy and luminous. One effective way to achieve this is by incorporating a vitamin C serum or concentrate into your routine, such as our Sight C-er Vitamin C Concentrate, which is further enriched with barrier-protecting squalane, skin tone-evening niacinamide, and soothing vitamin E.<product>4</product>
Vitamin C is an antioxidant known for its brightening properties. It helps to even out skin tone and improve the overall radiance of the skin. Additionally, it aids in collagen production, which is essential for maintaining a youthful, glassy appearance.
4. Moisturize
After hydrating and brightening, it's time to lock in all the goodness with a moisturizer. You'll want to use a moisturizer that's lightweight, non-greasy, and packed with hydrating and brightening ingredients.
A good moisturizer helps to prevent water loss from the skin, keeping it hydrated and plump. Look for a moisturizer that contains hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides, which help to retain moisture in the skin. Additionally, ingredients rich in vitamin C and antioxidants can brighten the skin and improve its texture. When choosing glass skin products, opt for those that are free from heavy oils and fragrances, as they can clog pores and cause breakouts. Our daily go-to? Dive In™ Moisturizer – a lightweight gel-cream formula that provides 72 hours of deep, long-lasting hydration.

You've worked hard to get your skin looking its best, so you want to ensure it’s properly maintained. Be sure to apply high-quality sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30. Sun damage can undo all your hard work, making your skin vulnerable to discoloration and signs of premature aging. Look for a sunscreen that won’t leave a white cast and won’t make your skin feel greasy or heavy. Apply in the morning and throughout the day.
After you’ve applied your sunscreen, you can go in with a primer. Priming is an excellent way to help your makeup last all day and smooth out any imperfections on your skin. But, more than that, a good primer will also give your skin an extra layer of hydration and nourishment. Look for a primer that’s free from harsh chemicals and is designed to work well with your skin type.
Together, sunscreen and primer create a perfect duo that helps your skin stay healthy and radiant, which is why we’ve streamlined the process with our Pack Up & Glow Priming Mineral SPF 40. This sheer formula protects your skin against harmful UVA/UVB rays, prevents moisture loss, perfects your skin appearance, and primes it for smooth makeup application. It’s a must in every glass skin routine.
