The "Korean Glass Skin" trend refers to a skincare and aesthetic goal of achieving exceptionally clear, smooth, and luminous skin that resembles glass. Achieving this look involves a combination of skincare practices, treatments, and makeup techniques. Here's an overview of the Korean Glass Skin aesthetic and some common treatments associated with it:

Skincare Routine:

1. Double Cleansing: Start with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and impurities, followed by a gentle foaming cleanser to cleanse the skin thoroughly.
2. Exfoliation: Regular but gentle exfoliation is crucial to remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal. Chemical exfoliants like AHAs and BHAs are commonly used.
3. Hydration: Hydrate the skin using lightweight, hydrating toners, essences, and serums. Layering these products helps retain moisture.
4. Serums and Ampoules: Use serums or ampoules containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and antioxidants to target specific skin concerns.
5. Moisturization: Apply a moisturizer to lock in hydration and create a barrier to prevent moisture loss.
6. Sun Protection: Daily sunscreen with high SPF is essential to protect the skin from UV damage and prevent dark spots and premature aging.

Aesthetic Treatments:

1. Hydra Facial: This facial treatment cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and hydrates the skin using a combination of serums and suction.
2. Chemical Peels: Mild chemical peels can improve skin texture and tone by exfoliating the outermost skin layers.
3. Microdermabrasion: This treatment uses a machine to exfoliate the skin's outer layer, revealing smoother skin underneath.
4. Laser Therapy: Certain laser treatments, like fractional laser or non-ablative laser, can address skin concerns such as pigmentation and texture.
5. Dermal Fillers: In some cases, dermal fillers are used to enhance skin plumpness and hydration.
6. Micro-needling: Microneedling with the application of serums can improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production.

Makeup Techniques:

1. Dewy Finish: Use makeup products that provide a dewy finish to enhance skin radiance.
2. Minimal Coverage: Korean Glass Skin usually involves minimal foundation or concealer to allow the natural skin texture to shine through.
3. Highlighter: Apply highlighter strategically to areas like the cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge of the nose to create a luminous glow.

It's important to note that achieving the Korean Glass Skin aesthetic is an ongoing process that requires a combination of skincare practices, professional treatments, and makeup techniques.
