A trending K-Beauty routine for achieving a glowing, dewy complexion.

What Is Skin Glazing?

• Definition:
  A skincare technique that involves layering multiple products to achieve a radiant, “glazed donut” look.
• Goal:
  Improve skin quality over time, eventually reducing reliance on makeup.
• Routine:
• Can range from 5 to 12+ steps.
• Typically includes cleansers, toners, serums, moisturizers, and face oils.

Who Can Try Skin Glazing?

Acne-Prone Skin

• Recommendations:
• Use noncomedogenic moisturizers to avoid clogging pores.
• Avoid oil-based products.

Dry Skin

• Recommendations:
• Opt for thicker moisturizers to hydrate and reduce scaling.

Oily Skin

• Recommendations:
• Use salicylic acid products to control oil.
• Skip face oils and choose mattifying moisturizers if the look feels too shiny.

Sensitive Skin

• Recommendations:
• Use fragrance-free, gentle products.
• Perform a patch test before using new items.

Expert Tips for Skin Glazing Success

Streamline Your Routine
- Layering products can take 15+ minutes. If that's too long, look for multitasking products.

Avoid Overdoing It
- Using too many products daily can irritate your skin or damage its natural barrier.

Beware of Active Ingredients
- Vitamin C: Can protect against wrinkles but too much may irritate.
- Retinols: Great for collagen and anti-aging but increase sun sensitivity—pair with sunscreen.

Don’t Skip Sunscreen
- Essential for preventing wrinkles, pigmentation issues, and skin cancer.

Prevent Over-Exfoliation
- Avoid over-washing and over-exfoliating to prevent milia (tiny white bumps) or clogged pores.

Potential Risks of Skin Glazing

• Skin Reactions:
• Redness, flaking, itchiness, or swelling due to overuse or product sensitivity.
• Allergies:
• Fragrance-heavy products are a common cause of allergic dermatitis.
• Side Effects:
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots) or hypopigmentation (light spots).

Alternatives for the Glazed Look

Simplify the Routine:
- Cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen are enough for glowing skin.

Use Targeted Products:
- For acne-prone skin: Salicylic acid cleansers.
- For hydration: Thick moisturizers or serums with hyaluronic acid.

Toner for Finishing Touch:
- Helps remove makeup residue and prepare skin for hydration.

Bottom Line

Skin glazing can give you a radiant look, but it’s not for everyone. Always:
- Check product ingredients.
- Start small to avoid irritation.
- Consult with a dermatologist for tailored advice.

Remember: Less can be more when it comes to glowing skin!
