Glass Skin: Hot Trend or Just Too Much? By Alanna Douglas

Hey fellow skincare nerds! If you’re like me, you’re always keeping an eye on the latest and greatest in skincare. Lately, one trend that’s been catching my attention is the whole “Glass Skin” vibe. If you’re scratching your head wondering what that is, no worries—I’ve got the lowdown for you. So, apparently, Glass Skin is all about having a flawless, pore less complexion that lights up and reflects light like nobody’s business. It’s basically the skin version of a shiny, crystal-clear glass. But, honestly, doesn’t it seem like we’re getting a bit carried away with the quest for perfect skin? I mean, can’t glowing skin still be fab even with a few breakouts or some pigmentation? Now, let’s talk about the treatments being promoted to achieve this glass skin look. A lot of the buzz revolves around resurfacing treatments. These treatments, however, aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s crucial to note that they may not be suitable for every skin type and embarking on the journey to achieve that glassy glow requires careful consideration. As we dive into this trend, my prediction is that we might see a surge in impaired skin barriers. Why?

It’s essential to emphasize that these treatments demand professional expertise for safe and effective results.

skin type can rock that glass skin vibe, whether they’ve got a few lines, breakouts, uneven pigmentation, or some redness. As skincare aficionados, we’re not just in the business of treatments. We’re here to educate and empower. It’s time to flip the script on these beauty standards and show our clients that imperfections are part of the beauty journey. Breakouts and pigmentation aren’t flaws—they’re badges of honour, marking the battles our skin has fought. So, let’s ditch the unrealistic ideals and celebrate the real beauty of diverse skin types. Be that cool skincare clinician who inspires your clients to love their unique skin stories. Remind them that true radiance comes from embracing themselves, flaws and all. It’s time to redefine beauty in the skincare game and let every skin type steal the spotlight. Sending you some extra special skin fairy dust to keep supporting skin and changing lives!

I’m all for using trends to show off what our skin can do, but let’s not forget the bigger picture. We should be using these trends to boost confidence and educate our clients instead of making them feel like they’re not measuring up. So, here’s my call to action let’s not get too caught up in these trends. Put on your education hat and let your audience know that every
