In recent years , "Glass Skin" has become an ultimate goal for girls all around the world. According to Korean Beauty Trends, glass skin means flawless , bright complexion , smooth , radiant and soft skin . But , the question here is .. Does the definition of "Glass Skin" really include all this..?

And the answer is .. "NO"!!! Then what it really means?

Let's see;

Misconception About Glass Skin

Whenever someone mentions "Glass skin" what comes to your mind?

A flawless , poreless , nice complexion , glowy face like these:

Nice complexion, Rosy cheeks.
Almost poreless looking face.

Bright And Plump Skin.

Am I right?

But That's not what it is .Glass skin actually means a skin that reflects light on it's surface like the glass does. And when a skin reflects the light which is either coming from electric bulb or sun , it gives your skin a shine which u call Glow. Thus, that skin is called Glass Skin.

And a Black person can also have that skin , a person with acne or pimples can also have glass skin at the same time . Such as;

Dark complexion but look how beautiful skin she has!

Skin texture isn't smooth but it still reflects light.

Key Ingredients for Glass Skin

Look for skincare products containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, niacinamide, and vitamin C. These ingredients help to hydrate, brighten, and even out the skin tone, essential for achieving glass skin.

Products To Achieve That Skin

Buy Products that are labeled as " Non-Comedogenic " or "Fragrance free"

A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, sufficient water intake, quality sleep, and stress reduction techniques contribute significantly to achieving and maintaining glass skin.

Reality Of Glass Skin

To be honest guys!

For Us, Asian people ( mainly India and Pakistan) , Our temperature , Climate , Work rounds And Skin problems are completely different from United states , Turkey , China and Korea.

On top of that their teens and youngsters are fully independent and rich so they do different experiments with their bodies and do various chemical peels to achieve that skin .
