You can't make glass skin happen if you're rocking dry patches and bags under your eyes. Pollock recommends adding an eye cream or serum to nourish the fragile eye area that tends to be drier than the rest of your face (and that regular moisturizers may not be able to fully quench.)
In order to get glass skin, you have to moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize some more. When applying skincare products, you always want to start in order of consistency and apply the thinnest formula first, working your way up to the thickest (aka most occlusive) to lock in moisture and seal your skin barrier.
Firstly, you have to double cleanse our skin with a gentle oil-based cleanser, followed by a foam-based cleanser. Follow it up with exfoliation. You can use your favourite scrub to exfoliate the skin. Next step is to apply toner to balance the pH levels of the skin.
All you need to do is soak a cotton ball in rice water and apply it on your face. You can even use it for a nice massage after a tiring day and wash it off after 10 minutes or so. When you spray cold rice water on your face, it will make your skin feel instantly tight and fresh.
Geishas were known to use leftover water from washing rice to then wash their faces in a bid to get smooth, supple, and luminous skin. Rice bran is bursting with fatty acids and squalene – an essential fat that makes up 12% of human sebum.
The “424” cleansing method begins with a four-minute face oil massage, followed by a two-minute cleansing massage and a complete rinse with both splashes of warm and cold water. Time consuming? It's not, but the results are nothing short of genius.
What is dolphin skin? “Dolphin skin is a beauty term that's being used to describe a glistening, hydrated, 'fresh out of the water' makeup look,” explains Mary Phillips, a professional makeup artist who's worked with celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner.
What is Honey Skin? “Honey Skin has been a term used in Korea for quite some time,” explains Janice. “It means skin so dewy, hydrated and moisturised that it's glowy and supple. Skin that is so enriched with moisture that it literally glows and shines.” Basically, Honey skin is glowy skin at the highest level.
Everyone loves clear and healthy-looking skin, and the glass skin trend does just that. Glass skin is meant to evoke the idea of a crystal clear piece of glass, meaning it's all about skin that looks completely clear. Poreless, dewy, baby-soft skin is the ultimate goal.
Japanese women are counted amongst the most beautiful and fit in the world. The average age of the Japanese are slightly higher than the rest of the world and they even boast of having three of the world's five oldest people living there, whose age is above 113 years.
In Korea, skin is always first. They value skin as being more important than makeup or fashion. Their skin secret is that they are using alternative, animal and natural ingredients that a lot of popular skincare brands hadn't really considered using in the past.
In Japan the preference for skin that is white and free of blemishes has been documented since at least the Heian period (794–1185), as in books like The Pillow Book and The Tale of Genji.
Honey For Skin Whitening
Honey also helps against tanned skin by removing dead skin cells. Lemon juice has natural bleaching properties and when combined with honey makes for one of the best home remedies for skin whitening.
Some people swear by the skin lightening powers of rice water. While some of the chemicals in it are known to lighten pigment, no evidence exists for how effective it is.
Rice powder and turmeric both are effective and brightening and whitening skin naturally. Make a smooth paste by mixing 1 tsp of turmeric in 2 tsp of rice powder. Add rose water to make a smooth paste and apply on the skin evenly, rinse off after 20 minutes.
Start with exfoliating in the shower, to get rid of any dead skin. Try a coffee scrub and exfoliate it onto your legs. Exfoliating with coffee grounds improves circulation, leaving you with smooth glowing skin!
Layers and Layers of Moisture
"I wash, I put on oil, I put on cream, I wait, and then I put on another cream. Once a week, I exfoliate, unless it's Fashion Week, and then I exfoliate two times a week. I also don't drink alcohol and don't smoke. I just really take care of my skin."
Victoria's Secret models make their skin glow with the help of a body lotion mixed with a shimmer powder with reflective particles. There's no need to buy these products separately. The same effect can be reached if you put a bit of highlighter or glittery eyeshadow in your regular body lotion or cream.
