What Makes Glass Skin

Glass Skin 2.0: Your Guide to Achieving the Ultimate Glow

    Glass Skin 2.0 is trending this year as it redefines the original trend of achieving a luminous, poreless complexion. But this isn’t about the 10-step Korean skincare routine anymore – it’s about smart, effective products that work with Australia’s unique climate and lifestyle. 

    What Makes Glass Skin 2.0 Different The “skin-first” trend is all about having a healthy, natural complexion over heavy makeup, with products designed to enhance your natural glow. This evolution focuses on fewer, more effective products that deliver maximum results. 

    The Australian Glass Skin Routine 

    1. Gentle Cleansing: Start with a hydrating cleanser that won’t strip your skin 
    1. Hydration Hero: Focus on skincare that nourishes and plumps the skin 
    1. Sun Protection: Non-negotiable in our climate – choose a lightweight SPF that doesn’t compromise your glow 
    1. Minimal Makeup: Embrace a minimalist makeup approach that lets your natural radiance shine through 

    Key Ingredients  

    • Hyaluronic Acid: For deep hydration that survives our dry climate 
    • Niacinamide: Niacinamide saw a 97% increase in searches for good reason – it improves skin texture and reduces inflammation 
    • Native Botanicals: Kakadu Plum, one of the world’s richest sources of vitamin C, is perfect for Australian skin 

    Pro Tips for Aussie Conditions 

    • Layer lightweight, hydrating products rather than using one heavy cream 
    • Embrace facial mists throughout the day to maintain that dewy look 
    • Don’t forget your neck and décolletage – glass skin doesn’t stop at your jawline
