Tips to achieve glass skin

You are probably familiar with BB creams, sleeping masks, and sheet masks. While there are tons of makeup products to achieve that flawless glass skin but keeping your skin clean and healthy is what you require the most. Here are some easy tips and tricks to achieve flawless skin without any imperfections and pores. 

• Let your skin air-dry: After cleansing your skin, leave it to air-dry instead of patting or rubbing with a towel. The friction is bad for your skin and the number of bacteria living inside those fibres can irritate and harm your skin. One should apply their skincare products within 10 seconds of cleansing their face (when it’s still damp). It’s a sweet spot when your pores are most receptive and can easily absorb your products
• Pat your skincare products: Instead of rubbing your skincare products, lightly slap the facial skin as it will prevent your products from smearing. Also, it improves blood flow and allows your products to penetrate better
• Keep yourself hydrated : The most advocated tip we all should swear by is drinking enough water. It helps to achieve glass skin as it detoxifies your body, and staves off acne, dry and textured skin. Water keeps skin hydrated, maintains elasticity and refreshes it. Your skin also heals minor cuts, scars and even your burns better. Also, drinking water may help to delay the signs of ageing. Why not sip on a glass of water as you read on!
• Exercise: A cardio workout or even a brisk walk brings the best glow to your skin. Every time your heart is plumping, your blood brings oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells. Healthy circulation helps to keep your skin looking bright, as opposed to dry, dull and lacklustre.

When it comes down, glass skin is a way of describing youthful, clear and healthy skin!
