What Is Glass Skin?
Glass skin is a K-beauty trend that has taken over the world. As its name suggests, it is skin that is so dewy and luminous, it is almost reflective in nature. To break it down, glass skin focuses on clarity of complexion, smoothness of texture and plumpness of skin. Together when these 3 features are combined, it lends an appearance of healthy and dewy skin.

Home remedies can go a long way
1. Rice Water Face Mist
Heat water and add a cup of rice to it when it begins to simmer. Allow it to bubble, then turn off the heat and allow it to cool completely. When it has reached room temperature, let it sit for 1-2 days in a closed container. Then store it in a spray bottle and use it as a face mist when you need a quick spritz. Rice water is rich in minerals and can benefit the skin greatly. Even better when you make it at home without using any additives.
2. Use A Washcloth
If usual exfoliating isn't working for you, turn to a washcloth. A warm and damp washcloth that isn't very abrasive can be rubbed in gentle circular motions to scrub the skin and slough away dead skin. This ancient home remedy has been a tried-and-tested choice for centuries in Asian countries.
3. Rice Face Mask
Grind rice into a fine powder and store in an airtight jar. When you want to make a rice face mask, use 2 tablespoons of this rice powder and combine with 3 tablespoons of cold milk. Apply the mixture on your face and allow it to dry for 40 minutes. When washing off, rub fingers in gentle circular motions. Along with delivering the nutrient benefits of rice and milk to your skin, it will also gently exfoliate it.
