Glass skin is smooth, hydrated, bright, and naturally reflective. It looks healthy and even. However, it is not a fast result. Instead, it comes from a simple routine done every day. The Korean approach to skincare focuses on gentle steps that protect the barrier and add hydration little by little. Because of this, the skin becomes softer, calmer, and more radiant with time.
At House of Hèbeauty, this method guides the routine. The products are inspired by K-beauty and supported by clinical thinking. Each formula fits naturally into a routine that builds moisture layer by layer. Below, you will find a 6-step routine designed to help you reach a stable, glowing glass-skin finish. The steps explain what the skin needs and how each House of Hèbeauty product fits into the process.
Step 1: Double Cleanse for a Clean, Fresh Base
Clean skin is the first step toward glass skin. Sunscreen, oil, and pollution sit on the surface throughout the day. If they stay on the skin, they can dull the glow. For this reason, the routine begins with a double cleanse. This method uses an oil cleanser first and a water-based cleanser second. Together, both steps clean the skin deeply without damaging the barrier.
First Cleanse: Use an Oil Cleanser
An oil cleanser removes makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil. It melts impurities gently and keeps the skin soft.
A great option is the La Pianta Damask Rose Serum Cleanser:
This cleanser has a serum-like texture that feels smooth on the skin. It contains Damask rose extract, which hydrates and calms. It also uses botanical oils to dissolve impurities. As a result, the skin feels clean and comfortable after rinsing. In addition, the formula helps maintain the pH balance, which prepares the skin for the next step.
Second Cleanse: Use a Water-Based Cleanser
The second cleanse removes sweat and the last traces of dirt.
A gentle option is the Bad Skin Artemisia Paste Form Cleanser:
This cleanser contains Artemisia (mugwort), an ingredient known for its soothing properties. It also includes low-pH cleansing agents that clean without stripping moisture. Because of this, the skin stays balanced, fresh, and soft. After double cleansing, the skin is ready for hydration.
House of Hèbeauty tip: Low-pH cleansers help protect the barrier and reduce irritation.
Step 2: Exfoliate Gently for Smoother Texture
Dead skin cells build up on the surface and make the complexion look dull. Gentle exfoliation removes this buildup and helps the skin reflect light better. However, harsh scrubs can damage the barrier. For this reason, the glass-skin routine uses mild chemical exfoliants like AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs.
Use exfoliation two or three times a week. Because the goal is healthy skin, always follow with calming and hydrating layers.
Step 3: Rebalance with a Hydrating Toner
After cleansing, the skin loses water quickly. The pH may also shift. A toner helps rebalance the skin and add the first layer of hydration. It softens the skin and prepares it for deeper layers.
Use a Hydrating Toner with Botanicals
A nourishing option is the La Pianta Herbal Extract Hydra Moisture Toner:
This toner contains herbal extracts like centella and heartleaf, two ingredients that calm irritation and support the barrier. It also includes a hyaluronic acid complex that attracts water into the skin. In addition, fermented botanicals help the skin stay hydrated for longer. Because of these ingredients, the skin feels fresh, plump, and ready for more moisture.
House of Hèbeauty tip: Apply toner with your hands to improve absorption and avoid waste.
Step 4: Add Deep Hydration with Serums and Ampoules
Serums are essential for the glass-skin look because they deliver concentrated hydration. They soften the texture and create a plump, bouncy effect. You can choose serums with hyaluronic acid, peptides, niacinamide, or fermented extracts. Each one adds a different benefit.
For example, hyaluronic acid adds immediate hydration. Niacinamide helps brighten the skin. Peptides support elasticity. Fermented extracts improve smoothness. Because serums work in layers, apply the thinnest one first. Then add thicker textures after. This method helps each formula absorb better.
With consistent layering, the skin becomes more luminous, even, and hydrated.
Step 5: Seal In Hydration with a Barrier Cream
After adding hydration with serums, you need a moisturizer to lock everything in. A barrier-supporting cream helps the skin hold onto water. It also protects the surface from irritation and dryness.
Use a Nourishing Moisturizer
A lightweight yet hydrating option is the Bad Skin Artemisia Relief Moisture Cream:
This cream contains Artemisia extract to calm redness. It also includes ceramides and fatty acids, which strengthen the barrier. In addition, panthenol provides long-lasting hydration. The texture is soft and absorbs well. As a result, the skin feels smooth, dewy, and protected throughout the day.
House of Hèbeauty tip: Apply a thicker layer at night if your skin feels dry.
Step 6: Protect the Glow with Daily Sunscreen
Sunscreen is essential for the glass-skin routine. UV rays can cause dullness, dark spots, and texture changes. Even if your routine is perfect, the glow fades without sun protection. For this reason, sunscreen is the final step every morning.
Use a Lightweight UV Essence
La Pianta Hydra Radhoiance UV Sun Essence
This type of sunscreen fits perfectly into a glass-skin routine because it feels light, absorbs quickly, and leaves no residue. It protects the skin from UV damage and helps maintain a bright, even tone. Apply it as the last step and reapply during long sun exposure.
Glass Skin Takes Time, but It Works
Glass skin develops slowly. It is the result of cleansing gently, adding hydration in layers, protecting the barrier, and using sunscreen every day. With consistency, the skin becomes smoother, more hydrated, and more radiant.
The House of Hèbeauty routine supports this process step by step. The cleansers clean without drying. The toner restores balance. The serums hydrate deeply. The moisturizer protects the barrier. The sunscreen keeps the glow safe.
With daily practice, these steps create a luminous, soft, and naturally radiant finish that reflects true skin health.
