HOW DO YOU GET GLASS SKIN?
Not-surprisingly, to achieve the coveted glowy complexion, your skincare routine should focus on plenty of hydration, in addition to skincare practices to boost radiance and clarity. Remember, glass skin isn't the same as that greasy shine caused by oily skin. To achieve glass skin, you want to use lightweight, non-comedogenic, hydrating products that don't leave your skin feeling heavy. Explore how our morning and evening routines can help you achieve a luminous, radiant complexion.
MORNING ROUTINE
Step 1: DOUBLE CLEANSE
The first step of the glass skincare routine is cleansing the skin of any impurities, excess oil and dead skin cells. A glass skin routine incorporates another Korean skincare trend: the double cleanse. In addition to being hydrated, glass skin needs to be clear and bright, and double cleansing ensures any impurities and pore-clogging debris are removed from the skin.
Start your routine with Toleriane Double Cleanser, get the efficacy of a double cleanse routine in one gentle step. A daily gentle cleanser that combines the freshness of a foam without casuing irritation. It helps remove impurities, pollution particles, and sunscreen residue while respecting the skin’s natural barrier, leaving the skin feeling clean, soft, and comfortable.
Step 2: HYDRATING TONER
Once you've cleansed, it's time to start hydrating. A toner helps to balance out pH levels and sets up a smooth base to help the rest of your skincare better absorb into the skin. But avoid astringent toners as these can be too harsh, especially if you have sensitive skin. Instead, hydrate skin with a soothing toner like the Soothing Toning Lotion for Sensitive Skin.
Step 3: LAYER ON SERUMS
The next step is to layer on serums. Serums provide high concentrations of beneficial active ingredients, formulated to target specific skin concerns. For bright, glowing skin, we recommend layering vitamin C with hyaluronic acid serums.
Hyaluronic Acid Serum
As we mentioned, you can't get glass skin without hydration. The next best serum to add to your glass skin routine is a thirst-quenching hyaluronic acid formula. This naturally occurring humectant helps the skin absorb and lock in moisture like a sponge. The Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Serum is formulated with a 4 Hyaluronic Acid System, a complex of four types of hyaluronic acid that penetrates the deepest layers of the skin to help boost moisture absorption, improve the appearance of plumpness and keep skin comfortable and hydrated all day long.
Vitamin C Serum
Vitamin C is a popular skincare ingredient that both protects and brightens the skin. As an antioxidant, vitamin C helps neutralise harmful free radicals in the environment to prevent premature skin ageing. Its skin-brightening benefits and ability to promote collagen production helps even out skin tone and achieve that coveted glossy glow. We recommend the Vitamin C Brightening Serum for your glass skincare routine.
Step 4: MOISTURIZE
Next, seal in moisture from your serum with a nourishing moisturiser. Look for skin-plumping moisturiser containing hyaluronic acid and other humectants. Avoid any moisturisers that promise a mattifying finish that will ruin that glossy finish you’ve worked so hard to attain. Instead, pair the Hyalu B5 serum with the Cicaplast Gel B5 to replenish your skin barrier, promote smooth, bouncy skin and enhance your dewy complexion with its new water-like texture.
Step 5: SUN PROTECTION
Part of achieving glass skin is maintaining your skin's overall condition. Sun protection is an essential part of your morning skincare routine, plus, protecting from harmful UV rays helps prevent the formation of dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles, and dull skin. Finish your routine with a broad-spectrum, high SPF sunscreen like the Anthelios Ultra-Fluid SPF 50+ Facial Sunscreen.
ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Apply 20 minutes before sun exposure. Sunscreen is only one part of sun protection so wear protective clothing and seek shade. Avoid prolonged sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours, before and after swimming, towelling, and perspiring in accordance with directions.
Step 6: HYDRATE THROUGHOUT THE DAY
The final part of your glass skincare regimen is a facial mist. If you want your glassy skin to stay throughout the day, refresh your skin with a facial mist. The Thermal Spring Water Facial Mist helps to rehydrate your skin over the course of the day.

NIGHT ROUTINE
Step 1: DOUBLE CLEANSE
In the evening, achieving a glass-skin finish begins with deeply cleansing the skin to remove the buildup accumulated throughout the day, including makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and impurities that can dull the complexion. A nighttime glass-skin routine embraces the Korean-inspired double-cleanse approach to ensure pores are thoroughly cleansed before applying targeted treatments.
Begin your nighttime ritual with Toleriane Double Cleanser to lift away makeup, dirt, and SPF. Its dual-texture formulation helps cleanse the skin without dryness, preparing it for the next steps in your evening routine.
Step 2: EXFOLIATE
In the evening, gentle exfoliation helps reset the skin by lifting away buildup that contributes to rough texture or a lack of radiance. While exfoliating too often can disrupt the skin’s balance, incorporating it regularly based on your skin’s tolerance can support a smoother, clearer-looking complexion. On nights when your skin needs extra refining, you can replace your usual cleanser with the Mela B3 Micro-Peeling Gel, it purifies skin and visibly smooths skin texture instantly..
Step 3: HYDRATING TONER
After cleansing at night, replenishing hydration is essential. Applying a toner helps refresh the skin and create a comfortable, well-balanced base before layering your evening serums. Rather than using astringent formulas that may feel drying, especially on sensitive skin, opt for a gentle, comforting option such as the Soothing Toning Lotion for Sensitive Skin. to help restore suppleness after your double cleanse.
Step 4: LAYER ON SERUMS
The next step in your evening routine is layering targeted serums. These concentrated formulas deliver active ingredients designed to address specific nighttime skin concerns.
Vitamin B5 Serum
Once the skin is cleansed and prepped, the nighttime routine focuses on targeted treatment. Begin by applying Cicaplast B5 Serum, a hydrating and soothing formula designed to help support the skin’s moisture barrier and provide comfort. An ideal first layer before introducing a more potent active.
Retinol Serum
Follow with Retinol B3 Serum, which helps smooth the look of fine lines and improve skin texture. This duo works especially well when using the sandwich method. Applying Cicaplast B5 Serum before retinol to cushion the skin and help maintain comfort while still benefiting from the renewing properties of retinol.
Step 5: MOISTURIZER

As the final step of the sandwich method, it cushions the skin after retinol application and provides nourishing hydration overnight. This helps the skin feel more comfortable while maintaining the smooth, supple look that defines a glass-skin finish.
