The beauty about skincare is that it’s entirely a personalized experience – whether someone prefers a matte look, all over dew, or something in between, there are products on the market that can help anyone achieve the skin of their dreams. One such skin aesthetic preference, glass skin, has been prevalent in the market for years now as a commonly known trend from K-beauty. Characterized by a reflective, lit-from-within look, glass skin emphasizes a Korean beauty standard rooted deeply in hydration and moisturization. If glass skin is what you want to be in, RIMAN’s INCELLDERM line has the perfect products to help you glow.
Glass Skin
Glass skin became a notion in the US about 6 years ago, accompanying the rising fame of K-beauty brands and K-pop culture alike.[1] It’s most traditionally characterized by the desire for dewy, nearly transparent skin that is so hydrated and highlighted that it looks like a mirror. More importantly, it focuses on skincare to achieve a desired look, versus Western trends that focus on makeup application.
The root of glass skin is hydration – hydrated skin is plumper, brighter, and smoother. Appropriate water levels in your skin keep cells properly functioning and add support to cellular environments, like your collagen and elastin network. Moisturization with oils also comes into play. Maintaining lipid content keeps your barrier intact, inhibiting water loss, and often leaves that emollient surface shine.
Deeper in the skin, collagen balance plays a major part in skin appearance. There is a notion known as the “collagen mirror”, in which substantial collagen structuring in your skin gives skin such a plumpness that it almost appears to reflect light, whereas more sallow skin can appear shadowed and dull.
Achieving glass skin is a process, but it’s a process you’ll love. Products need to be moisturizing, radiance-boosting, and collagen-maintaining to give the glow you crave, and with the RIMAN Ritual that works for you, glass skin is as easy as a few steps.
Cleansing
Achieving glass skin starts at the beginning with your cleansing routine; your cleansers must be hydrating, non-drying, and exfoliating to remove dead skin cells that may be causing dullness. Our Purcell Cleansing Oil is made of over 70% natural oils to break down sebum, makeup, and SPF products while also nourishing the skin barrier. Following with the Snow Enzyme Cleanser dissolves impurities without drying your skin- our Propolis biosome complex, derived from honey, and Camellia flower extract ensure that your cleansing experience is a hydrating one, all while gently removing dead skin cells. For that extra exfoliation, using the Active Clean-up Powder two to three times a week removes stubborn dead skin and deep impurities for a smooth, all-over glow.
Hydrating
Hydration is where the magic happens. While INCELLDERM offer hydration in every single product of the line, there are a few standout products that not only hydrate, but also leave that lasting glow for skin that is truly reflective. Our Vieton Oil Mist and Vieton Multi Stick Balm both contain rich oils and minerals to nourish the skin and leave an emollient shine – Camellia Seed Oil and Seaberry infuse the skin with minerals to keep it healthy and plump, and BYoungPool extracts provide antioxidant and anti-aging care. Applying both products throughout the day keeps skin dewy and glass-like. Additional swipes of the multi stick balm on the highpoints of the face, such as the chin, nose, and cheeks, catch light on your face as you move about your day.
Furthermore, the entire Radiansome™100 line, with its extra care rooted in liposomal technology, leaves skin with a radiant, better than before appearance, all while infusing it with proprietary ingredients. Our Collageneer complex supports collagen maintenance in the skin, promoting the collagen mirror, and our Vita-some complex brightens hyperpigmentation for an even, vibrant skin tone. The luxurious emollience of the serum, toner, and moisturizer all keep skin moisturized, both physically and visually, day and night.
Whether you prefer an all-day dew or totally matte makeup is up to you. But if you’re looking for skin that shines without any foundation, then glass skin, the INCELLDERM way, may just be for you. Check out our glow-boosting products here.
