Glass skin comes from consistent habits: diet, hydration, gentle cleansing, measured exfoliation, and daily sunscreen.
Results require at least two to three months of consistent routine.

What the video covers

Taking care of skin is not 'girly'; men benefit from healthy skin since they rarely wear makeup to hide imperfections.
Glass skin means luminous, poreless, translucent, dewy skin inspired by Korean skincare culture.
Diet matters: tomatoes, carrots, walnuts, avocados and pumpkins support skin, while alcohol, fried food, high sugar, cheese and coffee should be limited.
Hydration: drinking roughly 3-4 liters of water daily helps flush impurities and supports new skin cells.
Morning/evening routine starts with double cleansing: an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser, using lukewarm or cold water and gentle massage rather than scrubbing.
Exfoliate only one to two times per week, preferring chemical exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) over harsh physical scrubs.
Hydrating essences (non-alcoholic) and ampoules (concentrated treatments) are key steps for brightness and hydration.
Daily sunscreen is essential, even in winter, to protect results.
Results take two to three months of consistent use; no product works overnight.
The video mentions specific products (e.g., calendula cleansing oil, BHA liquid, snail mucin essence, artichoke and retinol ampoules) as examples.

Speaker A

cleanser, followed, by, a, water-based cleanser, the, oil-based, cleanser, will remove, any, oil, and, sunscreen, residue from, your, face, and, for, that, I, recommend the, I, unique, calendula, complete cleansing, oil, it, is, made, with, 94, natural oils, without, any, harmful, chemicals, and

Speaker A

ingredients, that, will, irritate, your, skin and, lead, to, breakouts, after, you're, done with, the, oil, cleanser, you, can, go, over your, face, with, a, water-based, cleanser and, for, that, use, any, of, the, cleansers we've, discussed, before, Pro, tip, don't, use

bhas, over, face, scrubs face, scrubs, are, too, aggressive, and, can cause, micro, tears, in, your, skin, ahas, and bhas, however, work, by, dissolving, dead skin, cells, without, damaging, the, skin, I use, the, iso, tree, Chestnut, two, percent BHA, clear, liquid, it, is, one, of, the, best

chemical, exfoliants, on, the, market, and will, unclog, and, shrink, your, pores, smooth and, even, out, your, skin, tone, in, addition to, removing, dead, skin, cells, you, can, also try, the, ordinary's, AHA, BHA, peeling solution, if, you're, unable, to, get, the

saracel, vegan, Kombucha, Tea, Essence either, will, be, great, for, your, skin follow, it, up, with, an, ampule, if, you've never, heard, of, it, this, is, a, Korean, skin care, product, that, you, absolutely, need, to get, an, ampule, is, basically, a, potent

Speaker A

concentration, of, good, ingredients, to help, you, achieve, glass, skin, they, are generally, more, powerful, than moisturizers, because, they're concentrated, and, have, a, liquid, texture some, people, even, switch, moisturizers, out for, ampoules, completely, products, like the, axis, y, artichoke, ampule, or, the

Speaker A

innisfree, retinol, Sika, ampule, will strengthen, your, skin, as, well, as, nourish and, heal, your, skin, leaving, you, with healthy, and, happy, skin use, a, moisturizing, cream to, seal, up, all, the, good, stuff, you, fed your, face, apply, a, moisturizer, for
