Glass Skin Routine: How to Get That Korean Glow in 7 Days
The Obsession with Glass Skin
Ever scrolled through your feed and paused at a flawless face that looked like it was made of light? That’s the coveted glass skin smooth, poreless, and glowing skin that reflects like glass. Originating from Korean skincare, this beauty trend has taken the world by storm and shows no sign of fading.
In this blog, we break down the 7-day step-by-step glass skin routine that can help you achieve glowing skin naturally and consistently without spending a fortune.
What is Glass Skin?
Glass skin is not a type of skin it’s a skin condition achieved through deep hydration, layered skincare, and consistent routine. The skin looks:
- Clear and dewy
- Smooth and texture-free
- Radiant with an inner glow
This is the result of Korean skincare principles that prioritize hydration, double cleansing, toning, and gentle exfoliation.
Day-by-Day Glass Skin Routine
Day 1: The Double Cleanse Start
Start strong with the famous double cleansing method:
- Oil Cleanser: Removes makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum.
- Foam Cleanser: Cleanses dirt and sweat deeply.
Pro Tip: Use a cleansing balm or micellar water if you have sensitive skin.
Day 2: Exfoliate for a Fresh Canvas
Dead skin blocks glow. Use a gentle exfoliator to remove dullness.
- Choose AHAs/BHAs (like glycolic or salicylic acid) 2–3 times a week.
- Avoid harsh scrubs they can damage your barrier.
Pro Tip: Exfoliate at night and follow with a calming serum.
Day 3: Hydrating Toner for Plump Skin
A hydrating toner is essential for glass skin:
- Look for hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, or rose waterbased toners.
- Pat it into your skin with your hands, not cotton.
Layer 2-3 times for maximum moisture (aka the 7-skin method).
Day 4: The Essence of Korean Skincare
Essence is a lightweight liquid packed with active ingredients. It:
- Boosts skin cell turnover
- Deeply hydrates
- Preps for serums
Choose snail mucin, fermented yeast, or ginseng-infused essences.
Day 5: Target with Serum and Ampoule
This step targets skin concerns like:
- Acne
- Pigmentation
- Uneven tone
Use Vitamin C in the morning for brightening, and Niacinamide or Peptides at night.
Day 6: Lock It with Moisturizer
A good moisturizer:
- Seals in all hydration
- Prevents water loss
- Gives your skin a plump, youthful look
Use gel-based if oily skin, cream-based if dry.
Day 7: Sunscreen — The Secret Weapon
Without sunscreen, everything fails. UV rays cause:
- Premature aging
- Pigmentation
- Dull skin
Use SPF 30+ daily, even if you’re indoors.
Bonus Tips for Extra Glow
- Face Mist: Carry one to refresh and hydrate during the day.
- Sheet Masks: Use 2–3 times a week, especially before events.
- Facial Massage: Boosts blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
- Hydrate Internally: Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using too many actives at once
Skipping sunscreen
Sleeping with makeup on
Not patch-testing new products
Expecting results overnight (yes, we said 7 days but maintenance is key!)
