9 STEP KOREAN GLASS SKIN ROUTINE

[Deleted member 76109]

By doing normal Looksmaxxing skincare stuff, you can likely achieve an 8/10 level skin.

But, to get to the next level and halo your skin, you need to stick to a rigorous routine which is difficult, but worth it.
As men, we don't have the advantages of makeup; good skin is our version of coverage, and gives the perception of good health and cleanliness, which is incredibly attractive.

The Tablestakes (MUST DO):
1. Good Sleep - Biggest contribution to hydration, healthiness, dark circles, etc.
2. Good Diet - Balanced with macronutrients, high protein, read other Looksmaxxing articles.
3. Water/Hydration - Flushes your skin, gives the base moisture to achieve glass look

The Routine:
FOR PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS: r/SkincareAddiction, r/KoreanSkincare
1. Double Cleansing [Day/Night] - Start with an oil based cleanser, followed by water based cleanser. Helps remove deep impurities and keeps skin cleanest possible.
2. Exfoliation - Use AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) or BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) to remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal. Limit 2-3 weekly.
3. Use Toner [Day/Night] - Glycerin or Aloe Vera based helps balance skin PH, prepare for next steps.
4. Serum [Day/Night] - USE HYALURONIC ACID. BIGGEST PROMOTER OF MOISTURE, GOT SO MANY COMPLIMENTS AFTER STARTING. Also helps in reducing fine lines, smile lines, eye bags, etc.
5. Sheet Masks [Day] - 2-3x a week, alternate with exfoliation, gives extra boost of hydration. Good softmaxx before going out too.
6. Moisturizer [Day/Night] - Most important part of the routine. Apply any lightweight, non greasy moisturizer, and feel free to apply multiple times a day.
7. Eye Cream [Day/Night] - General eye cream advice sucks. Find what CAUSES your eye bags, and proceed accordingly. There's 4 major types: caused by hyperpigmentation, thin skin, veins, and just the face structure which causes a shadow. Use products according to the cause.
8. Tretinoin 0.025% [Night] -Lowest strength tretinoin which reduces side effects and gives great glow, softness, and protects against aging.
9. Sunscreen [Day/Night] - Literally skip the routine if you're not doing this. Use sunscreen diligently, twice a day, if not more, and apply generously. I know people who look 20 years younger just by doing this.

On the days you are too lazy, traveling or late, still do the bare minimum routine; face wash, moisturizer, sunscreen. Takes less than 1 minute if done properly.

what’s the point of this, peak skin appearance is having zero blemishes and perfect collagen like kids do.

i’m sure this is a good guide but the end result looks alien and weird imo

 

[rand anon]

oil based cleansers aren't for everyone, even it's for double cleansing

I've tried them before and they always broke me out

i promise you people don't want to be walking around with glass skin

as a man you don't need to be doing all that

In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
