Glazed donuts and glass skin: Real or hype?

Glazed Donut skin is a shiny skin trend that is not greasy or oily but well hydrated and has an amazing texture.

- Dr. Akanksha Sanghvi

This trend started among Koreans to achieve glass skin by layering products one over another in the right order and manner, which are generally a combination of skin actives like glycolic acids, lactic acids, vitamin C, Retinols, niacinamide and non-actives such as fermented rice water, and hyaluronic acids which are calming, hydrating and repairing serums. It is all about your skin care regime that you do at home and the monthly or bimonthly sessions of aesthetic treatments that can help achieve a dewy texture.

1 The skin regime must consist of a good cleanser or face-wash with exfoliating properties. Balancing skin pH is very important during this step as a damaged skin barrier due to altered skin pH is not going to help get dewy skin. Face-washes containing glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicylic acid are a great way to clean skin buildup and clogged pores and improve the texture of the skin.
