The coveted "glass skin" — a term popularized for its luminous, clear, and hydrated appearance — it’s crucial to recognize that achieving this skin ideal involves more than just a single facial treatment. The pathway to glass skin is a multifaceted regimen that integrates consistent homecare, strategic lifestyle changes, and dietary adjustments. For estheticians, understanding the science behind skin treatments and recommending effective products is essential to guiding clients towards their skincare goals.
Glass skin signifies optimal hydration, minimal texture, and an even skin tone. Achieving this look requires a combination of ingredients and practices that target various aspects of skin health, including hydration and barrier function. Here are three standout products that can help your clients make significant strides towards glass skin:
The KrX Jelly Mist is an innovative hydrating spray-on gel mask designed to deliver immediate and sustained moisture to the skin. It delivers nutrients and the benefits akin to a full-face mask experience. Infused with Ginseng Flower Ferment Extract, Centella Asiatica, Ceramide NP, and other skin-loving ingredients, it nourishes and rejuvenates the skin.
It can be applied throughout the day to refresh and hydrate the skin, used to set moisturizer before SPF, or used as a sleep mask.
Dermathod Priming Peel Pads use a combination of PHA + LHA to gently exfoliate the skin, and promote collagen production. This is a slow releasing exfoliating treatment which should remain on the skin — do not remove! It can be used alone or with any of the Dermathod ampoules.
LHA's (lipo hydroxy acids) have the same benefits of BHA's, but are much more gentle and hydrating. They work to unclog pores while enhancing living cell production.
PHA's (poly hydroxy acids) are hydrating and less irritating than other AHA's, and provide gentle rejuvenation.
They can be used 2-3 times per week, ideally in the evening.
Corthe Rich M Cream is a high-performance moisturizing lotion designed to provide intense hydration while reinforcing the skin’s protective barrier. It includes a combination of advanced emollients and occlusive agents, such as shea butter and dimethicone, to lock in moisture and prevent dehydration.
Apply the Corthe Rich M Lotion twice daily, morning and evening, to maintain hydration and support skin barrier function. If the cream is too heavy, try Corthe Rich M Lotion
