Get ready to shine with skin as glowy as the glaze on the world's favourite donut. A luscious complexion will accentuate your personality and give you a healthy dose of self-confidence. Dive into this new skincare routine that Hailey Bieber and TikTok have made so popular.

Glass skin, glazed skin, TikTok is bursting with juicy trends. So what's the difference between Glass and Glazed skin? Glass skin demands perfection and you have a mountain of products and often a ten-step skincare routine ahead of you. Glazed skin is more about pampering, where you try to support your skin just the way it is.  And there are way fewer products required. So how do you get your skin as glowy as a donut frosting?

   1. Cleanse your face twice

As with glass skin, perfect face cleansing is absolutely essential. First, use an oil-based cleanser like the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Micro Cleansing Balm to dissolve makeup, SPF and other impurities. Then use a cleansing milk, gel or foam. Try the Origins Plantscription™ Anti-aging Cleanser, which will cleanse and brighten your complexion.

   2. Hydrate

Here comes the first layer of hydration. Hydrating spray lotions or hydrating essences such as the Estée Lauder Micro Essence Treatment Lotion are great for strengthening the skin barrier and smoothing the skin. You can apply it with cotton pads or just drop a little in your palm and massage it into your skin.

For glazed skin, the following will also help

   3. Brighten your skin 

Second, a radiant complexion is aa well hydrated one. Therefore, look for products that contain hyaluronic acid. And for extra brightening, vitamin C. A great product is the Origins GinZing™ Into The Glow Brightening Serum. Apply it on damp skin to allow the hyaluronic acid to bind to as much water as possible. Your skin will be beautifully plump.

   4. Moisturise

To make your skin really radiant, reach for a rich cream or oil. Try the luxurious Darphin 8-Flower Nectar oil. Your skin will be velvety soft and wonderfully scented. And don't worry, it doesn't clog the pores. If your skin feels too oily, leave the oil on your face for ten minutes and then you can gently wipe it off with a tissue.

Tip: If you have oily skin, avoid more oily products and break it up with lighter ones, such as gel creams or serums, with extra layers of hydrating essences or sprays. You will achieve the same effect!

   5. Protect yourself

Even with glazed skin, sun protection is essential. So every morning, apply a good amount of sunscreen. The Darphin Soleil Plaisir Face SPF50 protects against both UVA and UVB rays, it is not greasy but leaves your skin beautifully radiant. And remember, the right amount is that which you squeeze out of the tube onto your index and middle finger. 

   6. And now your lips

Dry and chapped lips wouldn't look good on a luscious, hydrated and glowing face. Therefore, massage them regularly with lip scrubs, hydrate them with masks and moisturise them with lip balms or oils. A great one is the Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Nighttime Rescue Lip Oil-Serum, which you apply at night to wake up in the morning with silky, nourished lips.
