First Things First: Hydration Is NON-Negotiable.
You CANNOT have glass skin with dry skin.
Girl, it’s giving impossible, aight?
Think about it:
Glass is smooth, reflective, and flawless.
Dry, flaky skin?
Here's what most people don't understand:
Achieving glass skin isn't about:
- ❌ piling on 47 different products,
- ❌ and hoping for the best.
It's about:
- ✅ understanding what your skin actually needs,
(hydration, baby!)
- ✅ and finding products that deliver WITHOUT STRIPPING AWAY your natural moisture barrier or causing irritation.
For example, you'll never want a cleanser that's gonna dry you out.
Like, NEVERRR~~~
That’s LITERALLY step one in ruining your glass skin dreams before you even start, lol.
Your cleanser should make your skin:
feel clean,
refreshed,
Yeah, it’s truly a vibe, and when you find the right one…
Girl, you’ll know! 😌
Ok ok, here's the glass skin care routine for SENSITIVE DRY skin: 👇
1️⃣ Cleanser
So, I’m a big fan of the LA ROCHE-POSAY Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser.
It's fragrance-free
It's sulfate-free
It has ceramide
And nope, it doesn't strip your natural oils.
This cleanser is just... perfect.
There’s really no other way to describe it.
It does an amazing job of cleansing the face, leaving your skin feeling soft and ready for the next steps.
NOT tight and screaming for moisture.
So if you're still using that cleanser that leaves your face feeling squeaky clean...
Like, uncomfortably tight, then bby, it’s time to make the switch.
Your future glass skin will thank you!
2️⃣ Moving On To Toners
Because yes, you ABSOLUTELY need one if you’re serious about that glass skin aesthetic.
Lately, I have been LOVING the TIR TIR Milk Skin Toner, and this is like my third bottle, lol.
I’ve been going through these like they’re water.
Cuz this stuff is literally THAT good. 🙌
You guys probably know TIR TIR from their viral cushion foundation.
(which, yes, is also incredible)
But they make some of the best Korean skincare ever.
Like, seriously some of the BEST.
And I’ve tried a bunch, so if you guys want a full Korean skincare routine breakdown, let me know in the cmts, because I could talk about K-beauty for literal hours. 😌
This toner that went viral for a reason:
"glass skin in a bottle"
Dermatologist-tested
So, if you've been sleeping on K-beauty toners,
This is your wake-up call.
Apply this in layers (I do at least two) for maximum hydration and that signature glass skin glow.
3️⃣ The Serum That Saved My Skin (No Joke)
For serums, you guys, I have quite the relationship with CAUDALIE Vinoperfect.
And I’m not even being dramatic, lol.
This is one of the first products that I spent a pretty penny on at Sephora.
Like, I remember standing there debating whether to splurge, and spoiler alert: best decision ever. 🙌
I’ve gone through like 20 bottles of this since high school.
TWENTY. That’s not an exaggeration, that’s commitment. 🔥
And it was one of the first things that ever cleared up my skin.
Not just surface-level cleared, we’re talking deep, complexion-transforming cleared.
Let me keep it real with you.
I used to have the worst hyperpigmentation.
And honestly, I still get a little spot if I breakout.
So don’t be fooled, this sht takes time.
Glass skin ISN’T built in a day, and anyone telling you otherwise is lying.
But the results? So worth the patience. 🫶
Yeah, I did try vitamin C.
But it was always too harsh and would break me out.
This serum? So gentle AND it works. 🥹
Powered by Viniferine (derived from vine sap).
Clinically proven to reduce dark spots by 25% in just 1 week.
Paraben-free, sulfate-free, and animal-material-free.
Oh, and pro tip:
Aon’t forget your neck!
Your neck shows age just like your face does, so bring all your skincare products down to your décolletage.
Future you will be so grateful for this, I promise.
Ok, let's freaking start treating dark spots + hyperpigmentation BEFORE they become bigger issues.
Consistency is literally everything with serums.
Commit to using it daily and watch your skin transform over the next few weeks.
Wait, I'm running a little bit low in my current bottle.
Caudalie, if you’re reading this, girl, CALL ME.
We need a little restock situation happening ASAP.
4️⃣ Let's talk about under-eyes because this is where things get real.
Ok hear me out, dark circles are natural.
Like, COMPLETELY normal.
We’re human beings who live in a world where doomscrolling until 2 AM is practically a hobby.
And dark circles happen for lots of reasons:
genetics,
lack of sleep,
dehydration,
aging.
BUT there's a lot of ways to get rid of them.
Or at least minimize their appearance with the right products + ingredients.
This is the OBAGI Rejuvenating Eye Gel Cream, and it has softened up my under eyes SO much.
Girl, they just feel amazing on the skin.
Like actually smooth + hydrated instead of crepe-y and tired.
The texture is perfection.
It's a gel-cream, which means it's lightweight enough not to cause milia.
But moisturizing enough to actually do something.
But wait, there's more:
It has this metal applicator which is really cooling on your under eyes.
Using this right when I wake up is chef’s kiss.
Seriously, that cooling sensation depuffs your eyes, feels refreshing, and makes you look instantly more awake.
It’s like a shot of espresso for your face.
So, let's make eye cream a non-negotiable part of your routine.
Apply it by gently patting (NEVER rubbing or pulling) the delicate under-eye skin.
That metal applicator?
Store the product in the fridge for an extra cooling boost in the morning!
5️⃣ Ok last but not least.
(And honestly, this might be the most important step)
✨ Let’s get into our moisturizer. ✨
But wait, this isn’t just ANY moisturizer.
Bby girl, you don’t SERIOUSLY know how much I love my FENTY Hydra Vizor. 🥹
“Hmm, why? 👀”
Cuz it is an SPF, a moisturizer, AND a primer, ALL IN ONE.
Like, Rihanna really said “let me solve all your problems in one tube” and DELIVERED. 🙌
that's actually invisible.
with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and shea butter for intense hydration.
that works with makeup and gives you that natural glow!
This smells amazing, like WOW.
If this is what Rihanna smells like, sign me up.
Send me to the next Fenty event!
Cuz girl, I NEED to go. 😍
The scent alone makes putting it on feel like a luxury experience.
But here's what really matters:
This alone will give you the most insane glow you’ve ever had.
Not glittery, 🙂↔️ not oily. 🙂↔️
Just that natural, lit-from-within radiance that screams “I drink 8 glasses of water a day and get 8 hours of sleep”.
Even when you absolutely freaking don’t.
Pls, take this seriously!
Girl, no excuses whatsoever.
Spending time outside?
Reapply every two hours.
Your skin will look younger for longer, and that glass skin effect will be EASIER to maintain.
Glass Skin Is A Journey, Not A Destination.
Be patient with your skin,
Stay consistent with your routine,
And give products time to work.
Girl, we’re talking weeks, NOT DAYS.
Your skin is literally regenerating itself constantly, and real, lasting change takes time.
Your glass skin action plan:
01
Start with a gentle, hydrating cleanser that won’t strip your natural oils.
02
Layer hydrating toners (yes, multiple layers!) for that plump, dewy base.
03
Target specific concerns like dark spots with concentrated serums.
04
Never skip eye cream.
Girl, our under-eyes deserve love too.
05
Lock everything in with a good moisturizer.
06
ALWAYS apply sunscreen at daytime and REAPPLY at least every 4 hours!
