That got my attention - glass skin. Let’s find out what glass skin is. OK, even before that, what is K-Beauty. Because glass skin is promoted as a K-Beauty trend. Glass skin comes from the Korean phrase “yuri pibu” which translates to glass skin. There are a lot of Korean culture trends now - K-pop likely being the best known. All the pictures are very young, attractive Asian women.
“Luminous, smooth, and clear” - from within. That’s how it is promoted by the experts who promote it, and the leader in the field is Alicia Yoon. She says that there are two key parts to achieving glass skin:
“The first is to nurture it with ingredients that support overall skin health, like essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. For hydration, you'll want to seek out humectants like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, and to calm and protect the skin, you'll want to load up on antioxidants.
Secondly, target any specific issues with powerful-yet-gentle active ingredients to amplify your results. For instance, since many factors like excessive sun exposure, pollution, and other external and internal stressors can lead to both uneven skin tone and accelerated loss of firmness, Yoon says both brightening and firming ingredients (like retinol) are also great to incorporate into your skin routine.”
Doesn’t this have that “influecer” tone to it? And I expect that there are a lot of products one is going to buy, and then one is going to spend a lot of time doing all sorts of “exact routines”.
I’d rather watch the snow storm than work on a beauty treatment. And there’s lots of snow to watch right now.
This picture was taken a year ago at Sunshine Express. Today’s Chrysanthemums are white with snow on top and brown underneath from severe cold. Time to get the winter greens.
