Glass skin — it's everywhere online and it's easy to see why. There's something mesmerizing about that ultra-smooth, radiant, glowing look that seems impossible to achieve without a filter — especially if you have mature skin like mine.

As someone who's diving deep into skincare and really leaning into my routine these days, I've officially set my sights on achieving glass skin too. But where to start? 

With endless products, tips and tricks flooding social media, it's easy to feel a little lost in the glossy sea of serums and creams. After some serious research and a few trial-and-error moments, I've narrowed it down to three game-changing products that are really delivering results.

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser

Turns out, the journey to glass skin begins with a good, solid cleanse that doesn't dry your skin. I've found that La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser is the perfect product to kick things off. This cleanser is packed with niacinamide and ceramides, two MVP ingredients that really know how to treat your skin right.

Niacinamide is like the cool friend that keeps your skin calm, while ceramides swoop in to lock in hydration, so your face feels fresh but never stripped. It's gentle, creamy, and makes your skin feel softer and more hydrated right after you rinse.

Think of it as the first step toward that dewy, glass-skin glow you're after — clean, happy skin that's prepped for everything to come.

Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant

Next up in the quest for glass skin is Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant. This stuff is popular for a reason! It's all about that deep-clean feeling without any harsh scrubbing. After cleansing and making sure your skin is dry, you just soak a cotton pad with it and swipe it across your face.

The salicylic acid works like a magic wand, getting deep into your pores to clear out all the gunk and smooth out rough texture, which is key for that glass-skin look.

It feels gentle but powerful, like it's doing all the heavy lifting behind the scenes to help reveal brighter, clearer skin. Consider it a must-have for setting up that smooth base glow.

BYOMA Hydrating Milky Toner

If you grew up in the '80s or '90s, you probably remember toners as those stinging, alcohol-filled potions that left your skin feeling tight and a little angry. They were supposed to be the secret to clearer skin, but they were more like a fast track to dryness.

Thankfully, times have changed and so have toners. Now, there's an endless variety of hydrating, nourishing options out there, of which BYOMA Hydrating Milky Toner is a true standout. It's lightweight, gentle, and best of all, it doesn't come with the hefty price tag that many glass-skin products have.

This toner is packed with skin-loving ingredients that actually add hydration and create the perfect base for the rest of your skincare routine.

But don't stop here! Add any of your favorite hydrating serums, moisturizer and sunscreen before applying makeup. I've noticed my skin looks so much better and even healthier without makeup.

So, if you're ready for glass skin, here's to the journey — and a little extra radiance along the way.
