Forget glass skin, cream skin is taking over in 2020

Korean beauty brought us some of hottest skincare trends. From the famous 10 steps for skin care to highly reflective glass skin, these trends have brought us innovative approaches to achieve hydrated, radiant and youthful skin. Latest trend? Skin cream, a new way to make the skin hydrated and supple. Here Chelsea Scott, founder beauty spy, the place to learn about new K-Beauty trends and products, tells us what creamy skin is and how to get it. 

What is cream skin?  

Creamy skin is the look that is achieved through a simplified skin care routine that consists of skin care products with a milky texture. “This is a look that focuses on getting a more dewy, satiny finish than the overly shiny glass skin finish,” says Scott. Cream Skin is designed to achieve a hydrated, soft and supple complexion without having to follow a lengthy 10-step procedure. “Creamy skin is the answer to the need for a lighter routine,” she adds. 

How to achieve creamy skin?  

Unlike glass skin, creamy skin is achieved in one step with a toner-moisturizer hybrid that has a moisturizing milky texture. Lately, there has been a surge of brands developing products that offer the hydrating, softening, and cleansing benefits of toner, as well as the same moisture you get from a face cream or lotion. “Consistency is the key to making skin look creamy, not glossy,” says Scott.
