This year witnessed a surge in demand for natural skincare products for glass skin. Glass-like skin was initially known as glass skin makeup, which was created by applying highlighter on high points of the face. Soon, the glass skin makeup trend became a skincare trend, as nourished and hydrated skin is a pre-requisite for smooth application of makeup. This skincare trend emerged from Korean glass skin and has now become a global phenomenon.
What is glass skin, you ask?
Glass skin is a skincare trend that refers to having a smooth complexion, with no underlying texture. The skin needs to be immensely hydrated, internally and externally, for light to be able to bounce off its surface and lend a youthful glow. While cleansing, toning and moisturizing work well as a daily skincare regime; to achieve glass skin, one has to add a few more steps to ensure all pores are equally hydrated. Consider the pores like empty buckets, if you will, that need to be filled with water, consistently! Read on to know expert recommended products for glass skin.
How to achieve glass skin at home?
A multi-dimensional approach to skincare is required to achieve visibly plump skin that radiates light, AKA, glass skin. We suggest single or multiple layers of Ayurvedic skincare products that have naturally derived Hyaluronic acid, plant-based Glycerin, based on your skin type. The Rasa Activating Serum, when used along with the Tejal Balancing Water in a skincare routine, ensure immense hydration and nourishment, for all skin types.
Properties of Rasa Activating Serum & Tejal Balancing Water, to achieve Glass Skin naturally:
Rasa Activating Serum strengthens skin channels by allowing its Ayurvedic ingredients to effectively permeate the skin and deliver lasting hydration. Rasa’s name comes from its ability to ‘activate’ the skin, to create a pathway for effective entry of ingredients supplied by the product next in your daily skincare routine. It drenches the skin chock-full with the prowess of Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera and lends a dewy shine to the skin. This finish is also known as ‘Chock Chock Skin’, in the western culture, which translates to ‘damp’ or ‘moist’ skin, with a dewy texture.
Glass Skincare Routine recommended by Forest Essentials:
Follow the Rasa Activating Serum with the Tejal Balancing Water. Like its name suggests, Tejal Balancing Water is similar to a drink of water for your body. It quenches the skin’s thirst with its gel-like consistency that gets easily absorbed by the skin. Along with the benefits of natural Hyaluronic Acid derived from Sweet Potato, with brightening, Vitamin C & B3 rich Mandarin Peel extract, amongst its many ingredients, Tejal lends abundant moisture and an ethereal luminosity to the skin. Here’s how you can use these natural products for a glass skin look.
1. Double Cleanse
Double cleansing is an important step to achieve Glass Skin as the skin needs to be clean and hydrated before diving into a long skincare routine. Use the Floral Makeup Remover Oil with cotton pads, to cleanse makeup, dirt and grime from the face. Follow with our water-based, Mashobra Honey, Lemon & Rose Water, Sulphate free face wash.
2.Tone
Use pure Rosewater for the face to balance the skin’s hydration levels, post double cleansing. It is prepared from steam distillation, in which the Rose’s most vivid and soft petals are used to extract its essential oil. The intense strain of the residual floral water from this process is extremely light, naturally hydrating and fragrant. This is captured in each spritz of our Rosewater for the face, which is cooling, soothing and moisturizing.
3. Face Serum
Apply the Vogue Beauty Award Winner, Rasa Serum to further activate the skin for better absorption of skincare that follows. Take a few drops of the face serum on to your palms, rub them together to generate warmth and dab lightly all over face and neck.
4. Essence
After applying Rasa Activating Serum, take an appropriate amount of Tejal Balancing water onto your palm and smooth it over both face & neck. We are often asked can essence replace toner? No, it cannot. The Tejal Balancing Water is an essence, which must not be confused with our toners. While the former is the first or second step in skincare, the latter is the last step of cleansing. Toners hydrate the skin with their water-like consistency, while Essences plump the skin from within, by boosting collagen.
5. Moisturize
Even after 4 steps of skincare, moisturizing the skin is key to seal all the nutrients provided by other skincare. Apply the Soundarya Radiance Cream with 24 Karat Gold & SPF 25, to immerse the skin in a veil of golden luminosity. The infusion of pure Gold Bhasma lends a naturally lifted and supple sheen to the skin.
Voila! Follow these steps every day for glass like skin and you may feel the urge to skip on makeup entirely.
