In With the new glass skin

One of the biggest beauty struggles is building your skin into the healthiest condition it could be. With your skin being powerless, glowy, and translucent, we like to call this “glass skin”.What is glass skin? This ideal beauty trend originated in Korea, where many people keep their skin looking clear, luminous, and smooth, replicating the appearance of an actual piece of glass. Taking care of your skin to aim towards glass skin will help you obtain a great complexion and youthful complexion. If you enjoy wearing makeup, having glass skin will give you a dewy and smooth makeup appearance. However, having glass skin is not natural, since it requires certain products and maintenance to achieve this skin quality.What does a glass skin routine look like?

1. Double cleanse with a can oil cleanser or micellar water, followed by a foam wash. I recommend opting for a product that won’t clog your pores or strip away the natural oils on your skin.
2. Exfoliate. Your skin can accumulate impurities so exfoliating 2-3 times a week will do the job!
3. Use a toner. This step is essential in restoring your skin’s pH levels and allowing better absorption for the next skin care products you’re going to apply next.
4. Use a serum. A serum is essential in achieving glass skin to maintain hydration, protect your skin from free radicals, and reduce signs of aging. I recommend using my Brighten and Tighten Vitamin C Serum which consists of 20% Vitamin C, fruit-based acids, and nutrients to improve your skin texture and tone, and brighten your complexion. Another serum you can opt for is my Deep Blue Hydration which contains antioxidants and humectants to visibly reduce signs of aging while keeping your skin hydrated.
5. Moisturize your skin. Incorporating a moisturizer in your skincare routine is a must. Whether you’re trying out this glass skin routine or a simple skincare routine, a moisturizer should always be included there. If you need a moisturizer, you can try out my KD Sexy All Day Long Kit which consists of our two popular moisturizers: Day Dream and Night Quench. Day Dream can be used to moisturize your skin during the day and Night Quench will do its wonders at night when you wash up for bed. This kit provides your skin with antioxidants, nourishes your skin back to optimum health, and protects your renewed skin from damage.
6. Brighten your eyes with eye cream. Not everyone can get a goodnight's sleep, due to workload or insomnia. This can cause you to develop dark circles under your eyes and wrinkles to develop. If you want to look well-rested, use our KD Revital Eyes to improve your fine lines, wrinkles, and under-eye puffiness. This eye cream can improve dark circles, discoloration, and signs of tiredness.
7. Protect your skin with sunscreen. If you want to keep your skin in its best quality, protecting your skin from the sun whenever you are outdoors is the way to go. Did you know that 90% of our skin aging is due to excessive sun exposure? Many consequences can result from sun exposure such as skin cancer, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, loss of elasticity, and aging. Luckily, KD Skin also offers you the perfect sunscreen to carry on your everyday errands and trips. Try out the KD Mineral Glow Sun Defense which is 100% physical, and provides SPF 44 UVA/UVB protection to fight against free radicals and skin damage. This formula is water resistant, leaves the skin hydrated, and is perfect to wear under your makeup.
8. Use a sheet mask 2-3 times every week to maintain your skin’s hydration. If you have a day off from work or school, treat yourself to a hydrating face mask. Many types of sheet masks contain different ingredients that cater to your skin. Some of these ingredients include honey, avocado, or aloe vera. If you do use a face mask, make sure you opt for one that won’t dry out or irritate your skin.

How to naturally achieve glass skin?

1. Having a healthy diet. If you don’t have access to all these skincare products, you can also work your way towards glass skin, by referring to these home remedies. Eating a healthy meal is important for your overall skin appearance. For glass skin, you can consume lots of fruits and vegetables that contain antioxidants such as spinach, kale, pepper, grapes, or sweet potatoes.
2. Stay hydrated. Intake of a healthy amount of water every day will keep your body hydrated and improve your acne.
3. Get some sleep. We all know that it is almost impossible to get good shut-eye due to busy schedules, but a good rest is important in having good skin. You can set a strict bedtime schedule that will give you enough time to get some rest.

Stay beautiful!
