These days, self-care is more important than ever. The pandemic has been a trying time for all of us and we all need some kind of respite in these uncertain times. Because we are spending more time at home working and running the household, some of us may actually end up having less time for ourselves and self-care. With that in mind, AHC has come up with a fuss-free yet effective skincare routine known as skip-care to help us shave time off our daily routines. So we are all now one step closer to achieving the famous Korean glass skin look without the time-consuming 10 to 20-step routines!

What is glass skin?

Glass skin for days with AHC skincare!

Essentially, glass skin is what it says – skin that looks as clear and as translucent as glass. Similar to chok chok which refers to luminous skin that’s plump with moisture, the glass skin trend started some time in 2017 and has been going strong ever since. In fact, the glass skin trend is back in full swing again this year since more of us are experiencing skin irritations like mask acne and contact dermatitis from long hours of mask-wearing. The secret to achieving glass skin? A simple yet dedicated skincare routine that incorporates effective ingredients and application techniques.

Achieve glass skin with AHC’s fuss-free skip-care routine

With so many skincare steps and products out there, it can all get a little overwhelming especially when you don’t have much time on your hands. Hence, AHC’s master aesthetician Jay Kim recommends to go back to basics and to keep your routines simple yet effective.

“Go back to basics. It’s AHC’s skip-care, a consolidated skincare routine that only includes three easy and effective steps – cleansing, hydration and protection.”

Enter AHC’s unique skip-care routine! Here’s how you can achieve Korean glass skin with this minimalist and power-packed 3-step regimen.

Cleanse

Cleansing is an essential and non-negotiable step when it comes to achieving glass skin. Since face masks are a new normal, it’s particularly important to thoroughly cleanse your skin to detoxify your pores and remove any excess buildup of dirt and sebum that has accumulated throughout the day.

AHC Peony Bright Deep Cleansing Foam

Enhanced with antioxidant-rich Pink Peony from Gangwon in South Korea, this deep cleansing foam also contains fruit enzymes and kombucha to effectively eliminate dead skin cells and debris without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.

Why we love it:

  • Clinically proven to improve skin radiance in 4 weeks
  • Regulates sebum production
  • Rich in antioxidants

Available in 140ml for RM97 at Lazada.

Hydrate

No matter what your skin type, hydration is key when it comes to upholding the health and radiance of your skin in the long run. Here are some of our favourites from AHC that you can incorporate into your daily routine.

AHC The Pure Real Eye Cream For Face

AHC’s Pure Real Eye Cream For Face is a multifunctional intensive treatment that doubles up as an eye cream and nourishing moisturiser for the entire face. Because of its amazing lightweight texture, it glides effortlessly onto the skin and absorbs really quickly without leaving a greasy residue. In addition to hyaluronic acid, the Eye Cream For Face also contains anti-ageing oleanolic acid, red salvia root and rice extract. With its fuss-free efficacy and luxurious texture, we can certainly see why it’s known as Korea’s No. 1 Eye Cream!

Why we love it:

  • Contains 91% natural active ingredients
  • Refreshing smell and lightweight texture
  • Absorbs quickly into the skin with no sticky residue

AHC Peony Toning Up Cream

Next, another hydration favourite is this nourishing cream from AHC’s Pink Peony Bright range. When used together with the Peony Bright Luminous Serum, this cream works as an effective overnight treatment. On top of antioxidant-rich Pink Peony, this luxurious yet lightweight cream also contains radiance-boosting black tea ferment and pink microalgae.

Why we love it:

  • Lightweight texture
  • 24 hours hydration and brightening care
  • Works brilliantly as an overnight skin treatment

Available in 50ml for RM180 at Lazada.

Protect

Finally, protecting your skin with sunscreen everyday is vital to keeping signs of premature ageing at bay. Because the sun’s UV rays are incredibly harsh on the skin, skipping sunscreen can inevitably lead to an accelerated breakdown of collagen and elastin over time. Plus, there’s the risk of sun damage and hyperpigmentation spots as well.

AHC Natural Perfection Fresh Sun Stick 50+ SPF PA++++

To protect daily even when you’re indoors, this Fresh Sun Stick SPF50+ by AHC glides on easily onto the skin for a quick and fuss-free application. Because of its angled design, you can easy reapply this sunscreen on the go without the need to blend it out with fingers.

Why we love it:

  • Easy to use
  • Angled applicator covers a wide surface area for even protection all around
  • Contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin as it protects

Available in 22g for RMRM153 at Lazada.
