It’s been around for years, but the craze for ‘glass skin’ shows no sign of dying down—in fact, it’s now extending to our shoulders, knees and toes (literally). Yes, “glass skin body routines” have been trending over on social media, and while it may be strange considering the change of season, and given that we’ll be swapping over our sundresses for tights, no one can deny the appeal of silky smooth, glowing limbs.

Exfoliation is key

“Glass skin, a term that refers to smooth, radiant, glowy-looking skin, begins with exfoliation,” LeeAnne Leslie, clinical training and education director at ALPHA-H, tells Fashion’s Digest UK. “Exfoliating works by removing dull, older skin cells that are often stained with pigment and do not reflect light well.
