I’m sure you’ve seen “glass skin” on TikTok, but if you haven’t, here’s a brief description of what it is.
What is glass skin?
Glass skin is flawless, hydrated, ~perfect~ skin. With that being said, what even is “perfect” skin? Well, I don’t have the answer to that, but I think if you feel good about your skin, then you’re already on the right track. Does anyone really have perfect, glass skin? I don’t think so, but there are products and practices you can use to make it appear that you do. This post I’ll be giving you the best affordable glass skin products on Amazon. But first, here are some tips on getting and keeping your skin healthy in more natural ways.

4 Tips for keeping healthy skin:
Stay hydrated! I know you likely hear this all the time, but staying hydrated really does help with healthy, clear skin. Without hydration, your skin can become more vulnerable to skin disorders. Since I’ve started upping my water intake, my skin is less dry than it used to be, and I hardly ever (except in certain times of the month) have to deal with acne! Isn’t that a dream come true? Seriously, don’t underestimate the power of staying hydrated and drinking more water.
Protect yourself from the sun and don’t use tanning beds. I’m well aware that a lot of women thing tan is the way to be, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with your skin as it is – plus, if it makes you feel better – your natural “untanned” skin is still darker than mine tanned (since I’m Scotch-Irish and pale, I don’t tan hardly any, except near my freckles).
Choose a healthy diet and healthy habits. By this I mean: don’t smoke, don’t vape, don’t drink tons of alcohol, and don’t eat junk food constantly. Try to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. Some research suggests that a diet rich in fish oil or fish oil supplements and low in unhealthy fats and processed or refined carbohydrates might promote younger looking skin.
Get good sleep. I personally used to be a night owl, and at times, I still am. However, I always feel much better when I get a good nights rest and wake earlier the next morning, rather than staying up late to sleep in. I recommend going from a night owl to a morning bird, and you’ll likely look and feel more energized and healthy. Your face will probably have less dark circles under your eyes, and your skin will look better all around – this is something I personally was shocked by, but it actually helps.
Use a moisturizer daily. Even if you don’t think you need one, buy one. They have moisturizers out there meant for any and all skin types, so you have zero excuses!

Hydrating and Brightening Toners
1. ANUA Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner
This toner is first on the list because it is a tried and true product well known by nearly EVERYONE who has ever strived for glass skin. You may have seen it all over TikTok being used by perfect, glassy skinned women. While they use other products to get their perfect, flawless skin, this is definitely one they keep around in the mix.
This vegan, fragrance free rice toner with 77.78% Korean rice will improve your skins hydration and moisture barrier with an illuminating effect. Do you like that dewy glow you see sometimes on people? This is how you get it!
Key Ingredient: 6 types of Hyaluronic Acids, 0.1% Allantoin, 0.1% Panthenol. This toner means business! It leaves my skin feeling and looking hydrated and supple. By far, this is one of my top 5 favorite toners ever. This toner is also a great fit when paired with this Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer for Day & Night with Pro Vitamin B5. If you don’t need a heavy oil-based moisturizer that leaves your face shiny and lacks hydration or a gel moisturizer that’s too light and lacks moisture, these two products are for you.
moisturizing Face Masks
4. Saturday Skin Yuzu Vitamin C Sleep Overnight Face Mask
This vitamin C sleep mask is enriched with Retinol. It brightens and moisturizes, enhancing the youthfulness of your skin. It’s also vegan and cruelty free. If you’re concerned about your pores, dryness, or dullness, then you should definitely consider this product. And again – it makes a good gift on the holidays. Everyone loves it.
5. NUBORN CELL Hydrogel Collagen Mask
This is another product you’ve likely seen all over social media. It’s been all the rave for months now! With intense moisturizing, fine lines reducing, skin tightening abilities, every person who tries this mask falls in love. Need I say more?
Hydrating and glowy creams and oils
6. Bean Essence & Bean cream set
“The Beginning of Minimal Beauty”. While I haven’t used this product myself, the reviews are astonishing. I could not slip by the opportunity to share this with you since so many others swear by it. Here is a review: “I use it as a powerful exfoliator for my sensitive skin, as an addition to my anti-aging serum, as well as a primer for days I need to be in front of a camera. My 50 something skin has never been so radiant.” When I read that, my jaw hit the floor! Fifty something?! He looked twenty!
7. The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser and Oil
I haven’t personally used this cleanser because it doesn’t go with my skin type, but my friend said it’s great for her oily skin. If you have dry skin like me, you might consider something different, but other reviews I’ve heard from people with similar skin to mine say it is still a good product for them. Oily skin? For sure buy. Dry skin? Consider your options.
8. The Face Shop Rice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream
This light weight Korean skin care moisturizing cream is amazing. It’s definitely a must have for dry skin, leaving you feeling refreshed and hydrated. One thing I cannot stand is when my face is dry, which leads to itching, discomfort, and flakiness. This moisturizer takes care of those issues so I never have to worry. I put it on in the morning after my shower, and hazzah! The thick moisturizer takes away the discomfort of dry skin.
9. Peach & Lily Glass Skin Discovery Kit
Your glass skin transformation will be easier than ever with this Peach and Lily kit. This skin care routine kit is specially designed to help you achieve the healthiest skin you’ve ever had, leaving you feeling – and looking – healthier than ever. I adore this kit so much. I have even gifted it on the holidays! Everyone seems to love it just as much as I do.
Glass Skin Tools
10. KOY Solid Volume Ampoule with Face Roller Spatula Applicator
With 71% high protein content, this serum replenishes skins elasticity like no other! It comes with a roller/spatula tool for you to use, also, which I love. Key Ingredients and Benefits: Pink Callus Extract, White Lupine, and Rosehip Fruit contribute to overall facial lifting, radiance, and moisture. Lemon, Pine, and Cedarwood aromas create a balanced and soothing sensory experience.
11. Pore Refining & Skin Blurring Radiance Facial Serum
This serum uses Skin Blurring: Lightweight and blurring effect on pores, improves skin hydration, and absorbs quickly for a new and improved pore care experience. It works best when followed by your favorite moisturizer, which can help give that glowing, glass skin appearance.
12. Microcurrent Facial Device, 3-in-1 Facial Massager
Let this review speak for itself: “After just a few weeks of regular use, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my skin’s texture and tone. Fine lines and wrinkles have softened, and my skin feels firmer and lifted. The puffiness around my eyes has reduced noticeably, and my overall complexion looks more radiant.” While I haven’t had the money to buy this particular item myself, I want one so bad! If you have one, PLEASE tell me in the comments what you thought. I keep hearing great things.
13. Skin Spatula Blackhead Remover
If you want glass-like skin, you have to make sure you get rid of those blackheads! This face spatula does just that, leaving your skin soft and smooth, without bumps.
Use this portable facial massager with creams or lotion to help our skin absorb our creams or lotion faster. Smooth and softens our skin, de-puff, improves skin elasticity and maintains healthy glowing skin. This device has 3 different vibrating frequencies to use that help eliminate wrinkles and loose skin.
15. SIMA Sonic Dermaplaning Tool
A vast majority of people who appear to have glass skin get their face dermaplaned. While I’m not sure it makes a huge difference for everyone (I didn’t notice much of one), some women love the way it makes them look and feel. I felt it wouldn’t be fair if I excluded this product just because I personally didn’t notice a massive difference but everyone else loves it. And to be clear, yes, I noticed a small difference, but my skin is so dry I try to avoid stuff like this because it makes it worse at times, especially in the winter. This is a wonderful product to use though, if dermaplaning is on your list of must-dos.
