What Is Glass Skin? (And How to Actually Get It)

Apr 16, 2025

Let’s talk about the skincare trend that has officially reached holy grail status: glass skin. You’ve seen it. You’ve wanted it. That ultra-smooth, impossibly dewy, poreless-looking complexion that glows like it’s lit from within. Yep—that skin.

But here’s the best part: it’s not just for Korean beauty queens or TikTok filters. At Blush Bar glass skin is 100% within reach—and we’re spilling all the secrets.


So… what exactly is glass skin?

Glass skin is skin that looks so clear, so even, and so hydrated, it practically reflects light. Think: minimal texture, next to invisible pores, zero dullness, and a soft, dewy glow that gives “I drink green juice, sleep 8 hours, and have my life together” energy—even if you don't.


How to get the glow: your skin-perfecting plan starts here

You could spend hours layering serums at home (and hey, we love a good skincare routine), or you could let us take care of the heavy lifting with one of our signature skin treatments. Here’s how we help you unlock your glow:


The Hydrate Me Custom Facial

Our signature facial is your skin’s version of a tall glass of water—plus a side of vitamins. This treatment includes gentle exfoliation, deep hydration, and custom skin-boosting ingredients to leave your face baby-smooth, bouncy, and glowy AF.

Perfect for: Dull, tired skin that needs a serious pick-me-up.


The Glow Me Up Enzyme Facial

This is the treatment if you're chasing that flawless, light-reflective finish. We combine advanced exfoliation, deep infusion of hydrating serums, and finishing touches that leave your skin glossy, radiant, and clear. It’s like your favourite skincare routine—only supercharged and expertly applied.

Perfect for: Anyone ready to level up their glow and get that glassy finish.


Your At-Home Glow-Up

While our facials do the hard work, keeping that glow going at home is key. Here are your non-negotiables for glass skin success:

Step 1: Double Cleanse Like a Queen 

Glass skin starts with a clean canvas. Begin your routine with a double cleanse to melt away makeup, SPF, and daily grime. Use an oil-based cleanser first, then follow up with a gentle foaming or cream cleanser to deeply purify your skin without stripping it.

Tip: Avoid harsh scrubs—your skin wants gentle, not aggressive.


Step 2: Exfoliate… But Not Too Much 

Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and reveals your natural glow underneath. Opt for a chemical exfoliant (like AHAs or BHAs) 2–3 times a week to refine texture and unclog pores.

Warning: Overdoing it can compromise your skin barrier, and glass skin doesn’t do red and flaky.


Step 3: Hydrate Like It’s Your Full-Time Job 

Layer up your hydration. Glass skin loves a multi-step hydration routine—think toner, essence, serum, and moisturiser. Choose products packed with humectants like hyaluronic acid and glycerin to keep your skin plump and bouncy.

Pro move: Apply products on damp skin to lock in extra moisture.


Step 4: Lock it in with a Glow-Giving Moisturiser 

A rich yet breathable moisturiser is your skin’s BFF. It helps seal in all those juicy layers of hydration and adds that soft, dewy finish. Look for ingredients like ceramides, peptides, and niacinamide to strengthen the skin barrier and boost radiance.


Step 5: SPF = Non-Negotiable 

You can’t have flawless glass skin without sun protection. Daily SPF is the ultimate anti-ageing and glow-preserving essential. Even on cloudy days. Even when you're indoors. Always.


Want to Speed Up the Glow? Treat Yourself 

While a great skincare routine at home can get you on the glass skin path, professional treatments can take you there faster. Think deep hydration facials, skin peels, or even skin boosters—all designed to plump, smooth, and light up your complexion.

(Psst… we may know a place that does all that and more 😉)


Glass Skin Is All About the Glow

Getting glass skin isn’t about piling on heavy makeup—it’s about nurturing your skin so it naturally beams with health and hydration. It's skincare self-love, and trust us, your glow-up is worth the effort.

So go on —cleanse, glow, repeat.
