🌿 Hanbang herbs (like licorice root for brightening)
💧 Hydration-first philosophy (plump skin = reflective glow)

5 Glass Skin DIY Recipes

1. Rice Water Toner (The Original Glass Skin Secret)

Why Koreans Swear By It:

  • PABA acts as natural sunscreen (prevents dullness)

Recipe:

  1. Soak ½ cup rice in 2 cups water for 30 mins

  2. Ferment in fridge for 24 hours (boosts amino acids)

  3. Strain + spray on face AM/PM
