Glass Skin: i prodotti, gli step e i consigli per una pelle luminosa

Glass Skin: Products, Steps, and Tips for Radiant Skin

| Scritto da Silvia Piccoli

The concept of Glass Skin has become one of the most popular trends in the world of skincare: a smooth, transparent, and luminous complexion, capable of reflecting light like glass and conveying an idea of purity, balance, and health. This ideal of skin – even, hydrated, and blemish-free – is rooted in Korean cosmetic tradition, but today it inspires millions of people worldwide.

But how can one achieve authentic Glass Skin? In addition to consistency in daily care, there are some fundamental steps: gentle but regular exfoliation, the application of targeted products, and the use of formulas capable of restoring deep hydration, firmness, and a natural glow.

In this article, we will thoroughly explore the meaning of this trend inspired by Korean skincare. We will guide you through a complete routine by Terme di Comano Skincare, with targeted treatments that combine science, nature, and delicacy. We will also provide practical advice on how to enhance glass skin with makeup and expert tips to achieve lasting results.

What is Glass Skin?

When we talk about toning, it is often confused with weight loss and firming. Toning means strengthening and improving muscle compactness without excessively increasing volume. The goal is to achieve firmer and more defined muscles, reducing the feeling of flabbiness.

The toning process is closely linked to body composition: to have a toned body, it is essential to reduce body fat percentage and at the same time develop muscle mass. A common mistake is to associate muscle growth with swelling. In reality, a toned muscle is more compact, while swelling can be caused by water retention.

For this reason, in addition to training, it is essential to take care of the lymphatic system and hydration, in order to reduce the accumulation of fluids in the tissues and achieve a drier and more defined appearance.

Oily skin or Glass Skin? Let's clarify

When discussing Glass Skin, it's important to distinguish between the natural, healthy radiance that characterizes this effect and the shine often associated with excessive sebum production. Although both can give the impression of glowing skin, the meaning and origin of these two skin conditions are profoundly different.


Shiny skin, typical of oily or combination skin, is generally linked to a skin imbalance: it manifests as oily areas, enlarged pores, and a greasy appearance, especially in the central areas of the face. It can be the result of inadequate cleansing, the use of overly aggressive products, or a lack of hydration.


In contrast, the radiance that distinguishes Glass Skin is subtle, even, and sophisticated: it comes from deeply hydrated, nourished, and consistently cared-for skin. The effect is similar to porcelain or glass, with a smooth surface, free of visible imperfections, barely visible pores, and an even tone that reflects light naturally.


This difference is not only aesthetic but also perceptual: shine can be interpreted as neglect or excess, while the radiance of Glass Skin communicates harmony, balance, and well-being. It is the result of a conscious routine that respects the skin, supports its natural regeneration process, and prepares it for the most authentic luminosity.


To achieve that balanced and velvety radiance that distinguishes Glass Skin from simply shiny skin, it is essential to adopt a well-defined skincare routine, capable of meeting the skin's real needs and enhancing its appearance naturally and lastingly. Let's look together at the essential steps to build an effective routine.

How to get glass skin?

To achieve an authentic glass skin effect, you don't need perfect skin, but rather to learn how to take care of it with attention, consistency, and awareness. The first step is always to start with skin health, learning to understand its characteristics and specific needs. Only then will it be possible to choose the most suitable products and build a daily routine that can specifically address various issues, such as uneven texture, enlarged pores, impurities, dryness, or loss of elasticity.


The ideal routine for achieving smooth, firm, and naturally luminous skin is based on a few fundamental pillars:

  • Thorough cleansing

    Gentle yet effective cleansing – preferably double cleansing – is essential to remove residue, impurities, and excess sebum. For those with particularly sensitive skin, it's better to choose gentle formulas, such as cleansing milks that cleanse by affinity.

  • Regular exfoliation

    Exfoliating the skin with gentle products helps to stimulate cell renewal, even out texture, and make the skin more receptive to subsequent treatments.

  • Deep hydration

    The "glass" effect is achieved by applying light, successive layers of moisturizing products – such as serums, essences – that help retain water in the skin, making it more elastic, firm, and visibly plump.

  • Targeted treatments

    Serums based on active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, retinol, and vitamin C are ideal for improving tone, reducing hyperpigmentation, and strengthening the skin barrier.

  • Daily protection

    Serums based on active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, retinol, and vitamin C are ideal for improving tone, reducing hyperpigmentation, and strengthening the skin barrier.

  • Nutrition

    Finally, let's not forget that glass skin is also achieved from within: a diet rich in antioxidants, good rest, and a balanced lifestyle are invaluable allies for giving the skin a healthy, vital, and naturally radiant appearance.

The Glass Skin Routine by Terme di Comano Skincare

Inspired by Korean skincare rituals and enhanced by the unique properties of Comano Thermal Water, the Terme di Comano Skincare beauty routine combines science, nature, and gentleness to care for your skin effectively and respectfully.

Discover, step by step, all the recommended treatments to achieve a true glass skin naturally and consciously.

Double cleansing for perfectly clean and purified skin

Double cleansing is the essential first step. It begins with the High Tolerability Cleansing Oil, formulated to effectively yet gently remove makeup and impurities, respecting the skin's natural balance. Upon contact with water, its texture transforms into a soft emulsion that cleanses without drying.

The second step involves choosing between the Normalizing Cleansing Gel, ideal for combination and impure skin, and the Cleansing Milk Cream, ideal for drier and more sensitive skin. Both deeply cleanse, leaving the skin fresh, soft, and ready to receive subsequent treatments.

For an even more delicate cleanse, you can use the Bamboo Makeup Remover Pads: reusable, soft, and environmentally friendly.

Renew skin with exfoliation

To refine skin texture and unclog pores, the second step is exfoliation. The Micro-Exfoliating Facial Scrub performs a combined mechanical and chemical action: volcanic stone micro-granules work on the surface, while lactic acid and vitamin C stimulate cell turnover and brighten the skin.


The result? Smoother, more radiant skin, ready to better absorb active ingredients.

Deep hydration from the very first sprays


After exfoliation, the skin needs to rebalance and rehydrate. Comano Thermal Water Spray has a remineralizing, soothing and pH-balancing action thanks to its unique composition rich in minerals. Spray it after cleansing, exfoliating or during the day for toned, elastic and visibly brighter skin.

Brighten and even out with a targeted serum

Now is the time to apply a booster that makes a difference. The Hyaluronic Acid Superconcentrated Serum deeply hydrates, smooths features, and unifies the complexion.

Alternatively, you can choose the Vitamin C + Retinol Superconcentrated Serum, which works on evening skin tone and firmness, brightening and improving skin appearance even in the long term. Also perfect as a pre-makeup primer or to give new radiance to the skin before a special event.

Boost your benefits with a sheet mask

Once or twice a week, treat yourself to an intensive treatment. The new Instant Revitalize Mask, made of organic cotton, adheres perfectly to the face and delivers a powerful blend of Hyaluronic Acid, Organic Barley Water, and Opuntia Ficus for a lifting, hydrating, and toning action.

To enhance its effectiveness, massage your skin with the Quartz Roller while you wear the mask: it will help drainage, stimulate microcirculation, and promote the absorption of active ingredients.

Take care of the eye contour

The eye area deserves targeted attention. The Global Age Eye and Lip Contour Cream nourishes, smooths, and illuminates, targeting wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles. Pair it with the Hydrogel Patch Mask, which tones and revitalizes your eyes in just a few minutes. Ideal for use before a special occasion or as an evening treat.

Seal in hydration with a targeted cream

After layering active ingredients and serums, it's time to "seal in" the hydration. The Hydro-Active Cream has a soft and melting texture, enriched with hyaluronic acid and alpine rose stem cells. It acts as a true moisturizing shield, leaving the skin velvety, elastic, and visibly firmer.

Protect your skin every day

Luminous and even skin is also protected skin. Terme di Comano's SPF 50+ Sun Cream is perfect for daily use, even in winter, to shield the face from UVA and UVB rays and prevent the appearance of spots and signs of aging. Also ideal as a make-up base.

How to enhance glass skin with makeup

Glass skin isn't created with makeup, but makeup can certainly enhance it. The "glass" effect is the result of consistent and targeted skincare: makeup comes into play to amplify the skin's natural radiance, not to mask it.


Current trends suggest abandoning full-coverage products in favor of light and breathable textures, such as tinted balms, BB creams, and pigmented serums, which blend with the complexion and amplify its glow without weighing it down. Illuminating primers can also be valuable allies, as they help reflect light evenly, giving the skin a smooth and radiant appearance.


The approach to makeup, in this case, is minimal and respectful: less is more. Hybrid formulas inspired by skincare are preferred, which don't cover but rather complement the skin, allowing its natural radiance to shine through. The application technique is also crucial; it must be gentle and buildable, avoiding a mask-like effect.


In summary: glass skin is built with care, maintained with consistency, and highlighted with the right makeup, which should never replace the skin's well-being but only make it even more visible.

Glass skin: tips from the Terme di Comano experts

To achieve radiant, firm, and glass-like even skin, you don't need miracles, but consistency, awareness, and gentleness. Glass skin is not achieved in a day; it is the result of a skincare routine that deeply respects the skin's balance and responds to its true needs. The experts at Terme di Comano have compiled some fundamental tips to guide you in your daily routine, helping you avoid the most common mistakes.

• Don't overdo exfoliation: Smooth skin comes from natural cell turnover, which can be supported without ever being aggressive. Exfoliants—chemical or mechanical—should be used in moderation, 1-2 times a week, and always avoid combining them with retinol to prevent compromising the skin barrier.

• Choose the right hydration for you: Every skin has different needs. A generally oily face might react with impurities to a cream that is too rich. Conversely, dry and dehydrated skin will require more nourishing formulas. The goal is to plump without greasing, restoring water and comfort to the skin without clogging it.

• Protect your skin from the sun every day: The most underestimated but most effective step to achieving (and maintaining) glass skin is the daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, even in the city or on cloudy days. Preventing dyschromia and photo-induced aging is the first conscious beauty gesture.

• Support your skin from within: A balanced lifestyle is as much an ally to your skin as cosmetics. Drink enough water, reduce sugars and fats, and prioritize foods rich in antioxidants, fiber, and micronutrients. Radiant skin also comes from a regular and well-functioning gut.


In summary, glass skin is not just a trend, but the expression of a new way of understanding beauty: authentic, natural, conscious. It's not about chasing perfection, but about taking care of your skin consistently, listening to its needs, and choosing targeted actions, delicate formulations, and an approach that respects skin balance every day.
Thanks to Terme di Comano Skincare treatments, inspired by the philosophy of Korean skincare and enhanced by the unique properties of Thermal Water, it is possible to build an effective skincare routine that guides the skin towards a more even, smooth, and radiant appearance.


Because true beauty comes from well-being, and healthy-looking skin is always the best foundation for light to reflect upon.
