Do you want glowing skin even in the hot Saudi weather?
The “glass skin” trend has been trending in the beauty world for a while, and it originates from the Korean skincare routine. The look relies on deep hydration, gentle exfoliation, and layering of products, resulting in skin that naturally reflects light.
But with the harsh weather in Saudi Arabia, is it possible for this routine to work?
If you're asking this question, you're not alone, especially with Korean celebrities showing off their flawless skin on Instagram.
Despite the Saudi climate, you can achieve 'glass skin' with a few tweaks to your Korean routine.
In this article, we will teach you how to achieve 'glass skin' even in hot and dry weather.
Okay, first of all, what does 'glass skin' even mean?
“Glass skin” isn’t just about shine; it’s about skin that’s perfectly clear, moisturized, and looks like it’s made of glass. In Korean skincare culture, maintaining your skin is an investment. Instead of adding chemicals, the idea is to nourish your skin without damaging it.
In the Saudi climate, it is important to focus on products that moisturize, protect from the sun, and are light on the skin.
Glass skin routine:
- Double cleansing : Use an oil cleanser first, followed by a gel cleanser for deeper cleansing on the same day.
- Exfoliation : Use a gentle exfoliant such as AHA/BHA once a week to avoid dead skin build-up and to achieve smoothness.
- Hydrating toner : Choose an alcohol-free toner that contains hyaluronic acid for hydration.
- Serum : Choose a light serum that contains vitamin C for sun protection and niacinamide for added firmness.
- Moisturizer : Use a gel-based moisturizer that contains aloe vera or green tea extract to soothe the skin.
- Sunscreen : Make sure to use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
Best products suitable for Saudi Arabia's climate:
- Moisturizing ingredients : such as sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and squalane, moisturize without making your skin oily.
- Light formulas : Avoid oils or heavy products that clog pores and hinder water absorption.
- Cooling ingredients : such as aloe vera, cucumber, chamomile and rice bran that soothe the skin.
How to adjust your glass skin routine according to your skin type:
Oily skin
Oily skin is prone to pimples and needs products that help control sebum production without drying the skin. Choose a toner and moisturizer that reduce sebum production with proper hydration.
dry skin
For dry skin , the goal here is to create a layer that locks in moisture. Use a rich moisturizer that locks in moisture and reduces water loss throughout the day.
combination skin
Gently wash oily areas such as the T-Zone, apply light creams and moisturize the rest of the face.
Yes, you can achieve the “glass skin” look in Saudi Arabia!
By choosing the right products, knowing your skin's needs, and adapting your Korean routine to the climate, you can achieve radiant, glass-like skin even in the heat.
