9 Tips to Achieve Glass Skin: Your Ultimate Guide

The term “glass skin” has become a buzzword in the skincare world, and for good reason—it’s the dream of perfectly smooth, hydrated, and luminous skin that reflects light like, well, glass! Achieving this radiant, almost ethereal glow doesn’t require a miracle; it’s about understanding your skin’s needs and giving it the right ingredients and care. Here are our top tips for achieving that coveted glass skin look.

1. Start with a Hydrating Cleanser

The first step to glowing skin is ensuring your face is clean without stripping away moisture. Opt for a hydrating, gentle cleanser that won’t dry out your skin. Look for products with ingredients like glycerin or aloe vera, which help lock in moisture.
LYS Naturals Recommendation: Try our Gel-based Face Wash, packed with soothing aloe and moisture-boosting ingredients to cleanse and hydrate your skin gently without stripping it of its natural oils.

2. Exfoliate Regularly (But Not Too Often)

Exfoliation is key to removing dead skin cells and revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion. However, over-exfoliating can lead to irritation and dullness. Choose a gentle exfoliant (like an AHA or BHA) and use it 2-3 times a week to keep your skin fresh and glowing.

3. Layer on an Oil-Regulating Toner

A toner adds an extra layer of hydration and helps to balance the skin’s pH levels after cleansing. Look for toners that contain hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or rose water. Apply it gently to your face using a cotton pad or with your hands.

4. Use a Brightening Serum

A brightening serum is essential for achieving glass skin because it targets dullness and uneven tone. Look for serums with vitamin C or niacinamide, both known for their brightening and anti-aging properties. These ingredients help give your skin a lit-from-within glow.
LYS Naturals Recommendation: Try our Vitamin C Serum—a powerful brightening formula that helps even out skin tone and restore natural luminosity, leaving your skin glowing.

5. Don’t Skip Moisturizer

A dewy finish requires a solid moisturizer. Opt for a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer that will nourish your skin without making it greasy. Look for moisturizers that include ingredients like ceramides or hyaluronic acid for extra moisture and plumpness.
LYS Naturals Recommendation: Our Face Cream Moisturizer contains a blend of Vitamin E and Zinc Oxyde that will help lock in moisture and give your skin a smooth, dewy finish.

6. Apply a Glow-Boosting Sunscreen

Sunscreen is non-negotiable in any skincare routine, but for glass skin, it’s important to choose a sunscreen with a glowing finish. Look for formulas that offer broad-spectrum protection while giving your skin that radiant glow, such as those containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
LYS Naturals Recommendation: Our Face Cream Moisturizer SPF 20 from Step 5 provides broad-spectrum protection while giving your skin a soft glow. It’s the perfect addition to your morning routine!

7. Add Face Oils for Extra Glow

If your skin feels a bit dry or needs an extra boost of radiance, a nourishing face oil can give you that sought-after glass skin look. A lightweight oil with ingredients like rosehip or argan oil can provide hydration and create a smooth, dewy finish.
LYS Naturals Recommendation: Try our nourishing GLOW Face Oil, a lightweight oil that deeply hydrates and brightens, leaving your skin with a radiant glow.

8. Stay Hydrated

Glass skin starts from the inside out, and drinking plenty of water is crucial for maintaining a radiant complexion. Keep your skin hydrated by drinking at least 8 cups of water a day, and incorporate hydrating foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and citrus fruits into your diet.

9. Get Enough Sleep

Sleep is essential for skin repair and regeneration. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your skin to recover and restore its natural glow.
