How to get glass skin
Rooted in the Korean, or K-Beauty, philosophy of skin that’s purposefully nurtured and nourished, glass skin represents flawless, natural beauty.
To answer the question ‘what is glass skin?’ – the hallmark of glass skin is a complexion so smooth, clear, luminous and refined that it resembles glass: poreless, deeply hydrated and photo-ready.
The glass skin movement is the antithesis of using heavy makeup coverage and contouring – it’s about promoting skin health and resilience. Glass skin is the result of balanced oil production, supporting the skin barrier and stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative processes – creating a natural glow that comes from within.
Whilst multi-step skincare routines and specialist products certainly play a role, sometimes our skin needs encouragement on a deeper level to truly achieve its potential.
The essence of glass skin
Essentially, glass skin isn’t about perfection – it’s about achieving health and balance.
Even minimal redness, pigmentation or congestion can disrupt the overall texture of our skin. That’s why the glass skin ideal goes beyond makeup and conventional skincare, to focus on improving the quality and resilience of the skin.
Conventionally, achieving glass skin has involved a meticulous glass skin routine made up of multiple steps, which include cleansing twice, exfoliating, toning, then applying a glass skin serum, moisturiser and SPF – often supplemented with regular use of a nourishing Korean glass skin mask or glass skin collagen mask.
Whilst this approach can certainly deliver hydration to your skin and achieve a healthy glow, it doesn’t always address deeper concerns such as redness, enlarged pores or uneven skin tone.
The insider secret to glass skin – the Pro-Yellow Laser
At Hannah London, we use advanced technology to complement the founding principles of Korean glass skin, helping our clients achieve the flawless, naturally resilient skin they desire.
We call the Pro-Yellow Laser our ‘insider secret’ for achieving glass skin. This progressive treatment is designed to perfect the skin as well as build its natural strength – with no downtime.
The QuadroStar Pro Yellow Laser uses a specialised yellow wavelength that penetrates the skin at the ideal depth to address skin concerns such as rosacea, vascular lesions, pigmentation and melasma, acne and acne scarring. Importantly, the treatment also promotes collagen production for overall skin rejuvenation and clarity.
Pro-Yellow Laser treatment creates the ideal canvas for glass skin: calm, smooth and resilient.
How the Pro-Yellow Laser works for glass skin
Traditional green lasers tend to use a wavelength of 532nm (nanometres). The Pro Yellow Laser uses a highly targeted 577nm wavelength of pure yellow light – proven to be the most effective for treating skin redness and vascular conditions.
Yellow light is photoselective, so it can precisely target problem areas of redness and uneven skin tone, whilst avoiding the surrounding skin.
At the same time, the Pro-Yellow Laser stimulates collagen production, helping to restore your skin’s structure, as well as improve tone and texture for the long-term.
For your comfort, the treatment is equipped with advanced cooling technology, which reduces heat on the skin’s surface and lowers the risk of irritation to surrounding tissue. The result is a treatment that’s not only highly effective, it’s also incredibly gentle.
The benefits of the Pro-Yellow Laser for glass skin:
- Refines pores and improves skin texture
- Reduces redness and uneven skin tone
- Boosts collagen for long-term skin quality
- No downtime
Our patients notice that their skin looks instantly brighter and smoother, with results continuing to improve over time.
How to get glass skin naturally at home
There are specialist glass skin facial products available to help you maintain the benefits of the Pro-Yellow Laser treatment at home and promote that glossy, healthy glow.
The most effective glass skin routines focus on effective cleansing, nourishing hydration, active ingredients and skin barrier support.
For example, a glass skin mask or Korean glass skin collagen mask can boost moisture, exfoliate and enhance radiance, whilst serums help refine texture and protect your skin from external stressors.
