What Is Glass Skin?
Glass skin is a trend of the ultimate in hydrated skin. Think skin is so juicy, so radiant that light just bounces off it. The trend borrows from the popular results of Jbeauty and kbeauty skincare routines with hydration and barrier care being at the forefront.
How To Get Glass Skin
The key to this trend is ensuring that the skin barrier is cared for. A healthy skin barrier prevents transepidermal water loss. The skin barrier is strengthened with ceramides however, they deplete as we age or skin is damaged. Therefore, adding products rich in ceramides is essential to a healthy skin barrier.
Dehydrated skin can appear dull and lack radiance. Increasing hydration can lessen these unwanted effects, plumping the skin and allowing makeup to sit better. Ensuring skincare has intensive hydrating ingredients is a perfect way to rehydrate skin.
The Inkey List
The Inkey List Ectoin Hydro Barrier Serum and Bioactive Ceramide moisturiser make a perfect pair to soothe dehydrated skin.
Ectoin Hydro Barrier Serum drenches the skin and can boost hydration up to 10 layers deep, which is impressive! It works to actively support the skin’s barrier at the same time helping your skin to retain this moisture.
Its key ingredients;
- 2% Ectoin – helps to reinforce and stabilise skin barrier
- Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid – attracts moisture, plumps and hydrated
The milky gel serum smooths over skin with ease, instantly absorbing and soothing. Skin feels plumped and hydrated at first use.

Bio-Active Ceramide Moisturiser
It’s key to lock in all the moisture that we’ve given our skin in our serum and there’s no better way to do this than with a caring cream. The Bio-Active Ceramide Moisturiser is a velvety soft cream that’s packed with ceramides to support a healthy skin barrier. Shea Butter helps to nourish while Gransil Blur leaves skin with a soft focus effect.
The cream is nourishing without being too heavy. It gives a nice juicy feeling to the skin and instantly leaves it looking and feeling softer.
This routine suits all skin types.
