A radiant, ultra-dewy complexion is once again popular, and everyone from fashion catwalk models to beauty bloggers are copying the style. According to famous makeup artist Geoffrey Rodriguez, the idea is the Korean beauty craze known as "glass skin," which essentially refers to a poreless, dewy complexion that has been augmented with a luminesce sheen or finish. In the end, glass skin seems softer and perhaps more attractive than some of the other popular beauty trends, such as contouring or matte skin, which reflect light and might appear heavy and unnatural in natural daylight.
What is the most effective approach to have this radiant, young appearance? A focus on skin health is the first step, which includes frequent exfoliation, hydration, drinking water, etc. According to famous hair and makeup artist Alex LaMarsh, "this trend is about taking care of your skin till it strobes on its own and you don't need foundation and primers to fake it." It treats taking care of your skin as a luxury rather than a chore.
So learning how to achieve "glass" or dewy skin begins with taking care of oneself. Ready to appreciate the beauty of your skin from the inside out? Discover how to achieve glowing skin that is dewy even on the chilliest winter days.
1. Commence with a good cleanser.
Starting with a fresh face is the first step in looking fresh-faced. Start your skincare routine from scratch. Eliminate any remaining makeup as well as any debris and oils that have accrued in your pores over the day or night. To ensure that your skin has enough moisture to endure any cosmetics you apply as well as the wear and tear of the outside environment, use a product that is hydrating rather than drying.
2. Apply a hydrating toner after cleansing the skin.
According to Rodriguez, toner is applied to the skin by vigorously pressing it in during traditional Korean skincare routines. Increased circulation is said to invigorate the skin, which contributes to a healthy glow.Choose a toner that is loaded with antioxidants and vital fatty acids to maintain proper hydration, leaving your skin smooth and radiant.
3. Exfoliate every one to two weeks.
If you want to achieve a bright, dewy effect, experts advise against skipping this step. In order to get that dewy appearance, exfoliation is essential, according to Minneapolis-based makeup artist Hilary Kline. In fact, it aids in buffing away those layers of dead skin to reveal a more radiant complexion. Pick a hydrating scrub that has a potent combination of organic botanicals, such as jojoba beads, aloe vera, and olive oil, as well as potent antioxidants that reduce the formation of skin-damaging free radicals.
4. Massage a nourishing serum or face oil into the skin.
Hyaluronic acid in high concentrations, whether in a serum or face oil, will provide your skin the moisture boost it needs. It not only prevents dryness and keeps your skin supple, but it also gives you the ideal base on which to put on makeup. According to Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, "Hyaluronic acid is like a sponge that sucks in water to the outer skin layer." It delivers a plumping effect and improves moisture and brightness.
5. Apply your favourite daytime moisturiser before applying makeup.
Experts advise using a moisturiser that sinks directly into the skin, leaving it supple and soft but not oily, to achieve that dewy, radiant skin. LaMarsh says that although having extremely hydrated skin, it shouldn't appear oily. Too-slick moisturisers can cause makeup to slide across the face rather than adhere to the skin. Again, pick a hyaluronic acid-containing product to seal in the moisture for powerful, long-lasting hydration.
After a long day of being exposed to the outdoors environment, your office, or your gym, moisturise and rejuvenate your dull, fatigued skin in the evenings. This will not only seal in even more moisture, but it will also reduce any redness or inflammation that will inevitably develop during your daily activities.To enhance suppleness and stop moisture loss, choose a product that is high in essential fatty acids.
7. Apply a luminous face primer.
Apply a face primer that moisturises and nourishes the skin to the complexion to prepare it for the application of makeup. Along with retaining moisture, this will plump the skin and help to keep that radiant health throughout the day. Remember that buffed-out pores and a glowing, dewy complexion are the key components of this look, says LaMarsh. So watch out that your primers don't detract from it.
8. Avoid using matte foundations
Use a product that is more akin to an anti-aging hydrating moisturiser with medium to full coverage added into it, advises LaMarsh. I always advise using a product to ensure that your makeup is effective on you,she adds. She advises using a foundation buffing tool with a lot of foundation on it, like the Beauty Blender, to help apply and buff the concentration directly into the skin all over your face in light circular motions.
9. Use a luminizer and highlighter to give your skin a little extra glow.
Experts agree that a key component of the effect is how delicately and subtly highlighters reflect and diffuse light. For the best look, Rodriguez advises emphasising the highlighter on the high parts of the face, such as the tops of the cheekbones. Nothing should appear overly heavy because the aesthetic is all about a general, sheer bright quality. He suggests adding a little highlighter to your foundation or using it as a final touch at the end to achieve the very glossy, dewy appearance of "glass skin."
