Quick answer
What is a glass skin facial?
A glass skin facial is a customised skin treatment aimed at the smooth, clear and luminous look known as Korean glass skin. It focuses on deep hydration, gentle exfoliation and skin rejuvenation rather than on a single concern.
At Umi Clinic in Myeongdong, Seoul, the programme is built from your skin consultation and may combine hydration therapy, skin boosters, gentle resurfacing, pore-refining and brightening care, or collagen-stimulating treatments.
