HOW TO GET GLOWING SKIN
From K-dramas to K-pop, one of Korea's greatest exports must be the glass skin trend which flooded the Instagram feeds of beauty enthusiasts everywhere. The glass skin routine may be intense (nobody said it was easy!) but it is achievable if you’ve got the determination to stick with it, and we’re going to show you how it’s done in as few steps as possible.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR SKIN GLOW IN 5 STEPS
STEP 1: CLEANSE AND EXFOLIATE

No Korean skincare routine would be complete without the double cleanse, and it’s recommended to start with an oil-based cleanser first to gently draw impurities away from the skin. If you prefer, you could also cleanse with our Absolue Oil in Gel Cleanser. You should then follow up with a water-based foaming cleanser to wash away any dead skin cells.
If your skin is looking particularly dull and flaky, exfoliating after you cleanse is a great way to make it instantly look smooth and bright. If you prefer, you can use a manual exfoliant, like Lancôme’s Rose Sugar Scrub and enjoy the delicate floral scent as you work through your routine. Just remember to take it easy and not scrub too hard – you could end up doing more harm than good to your skin! And make sure to rinse with lukewarm water as hot water tends to dry out your skin even more.
STEP 2: APPLY A TONER

A good toner will help to re-balance your skin’s natural pH level and add an extra layer of moisture so it’s important not to skip this step. Compared to Korean products, western-style toners are part of the cleansing stage rather than the balancing stage and often have astringent ingredients that dry out your skin further. For best results, consider Lancôme’s Tonique Confort. Enriched with Sweet Almond Oil and Acacia Honey, it’s a fantastic way to remove any impurities left over from your cleanse.

STEP 3: USE YOUR SERUM

This is probably the most important stage in the whole routine after the double cleanse because serums are like a superfood for your skin. The ultra-light formulas sink into skin quickly and efficiently to deliver active ingredients. We recommend Advanced Génifique Serum which has an enriched formula of 7 prebiotic and probiotic-derived extracts that work in optimal affinity with the skin to help improve the skin barrier. The result of 20 years or research & 9 patents, this powerful serum is formulated with hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C* to help improve radiance and skin tone, while strengthening skin and working to improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

STEP 4: SMOOTH ON YOUR EYE CREAM
Having dark circles or tired, looking puffy eyes really affects the overall radiant look of the complexion. It's key to consistently use a powerful eye cream like our Advanced Génifique Eye Cream. This patented formula is concentrated with millions of pre- & probiotic fractions in every fingertip and helps protect the delicate skin around the eye against eye stressor damages such as pollution. On the inside, our cream helps to repair the skin barrier, and on the outside, it brightens the appearance of dark circles and smooths fine lines.
