Glass Skin For The Win
Luminos, glistening, “glass” skin is the latest beauty trend taking the world by storm. The goal is to basically have translucent looking skin or at least something close to it. This trend strays more towards skincare and less towards makeup which makes this one of the more appealing and sustainable trends we’ve come across and we have some tips on how you can get the look too.
The first most important step to achieving glass skin begins with a carefully crafted skincare routine. Prioritize hydration by incorporating lightweight, hydrating products like serums and essences that contain hyaluronic acid. Double cleansing is also key; start with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and dirt, followed by a gentle foaming cleanser to ensure a clean and fresh face to build upon. Exfoliation is also your secret weapon so opt for chemical exfoliants that have ingredients like glycolic or lactic acid to gently remove dead skin cells, for a smoother visage. Glass skin is also about playing the long game so make sure you incorporate sheet masks regularly throughout the week for added moisture.
The key to this look is to also make sure you are layering all of these products properly so that your skin is absorbing their intended function correctly and locking them in. Once you’ve applied your skincare, now we can add some makeup to secure this glass skin effect. Make sure you’re starting your base with a hydrating primer to create a smooth base. Set your foundation with a fine, translucent powder only where necessary to avoid ruining the radiant and dewy finish. Finishing with a touch of liquid highlighter on the high points of your face adds that “lit-from-within” look and when it comes to this step, it’s easy to get carried away but less is really more with this trend.. Remember, the art of glass skin isn't about masking imperfections but embracing your skin's natural beauty and this understated look makes a big impact when the focus is on skincare and using highly hydrating formulas.
