Frankie Bridge swears by this Korean ‘sensitive skin lifesaver' balm that gives ‘glass skin'
If you're looking to get glowing, 'glass skin', Frankie Bridge has just shared her skincare 'lifesaver', and it hails from a viral Korean skincare brand 'Glass skin' is a trending buzzword that's been cropping up time and time again, with hundreds of brands jumping in on the trend. It describes skin that's so healthy-looking and hydrated, it almost looks translucent, glowy and glass-like. It's not just about piling on different products and hoping for the best, but instead building up your skin's moisture barrier so you get that glow-from-within effect. That's where AESTURA Atobarrier365 Cream with Ceramide, priced at £25.99, comes in. Loved by so many, including Frankie Bridge, who calls it a 'sensitive skin lifesaver', this K-Beauty balm is the secret to achieving 'glass skin'. If you're skin has been feeling dry, sensitive and in need of a little TLC, this barrier cream might be just what it needs. Trusted by millions in Korea and with one selling every 20 seconds, the moisturising formula promises up to 120 hours of hydration for the skin. It's infused with many skin-loving ingredients, but the secret is that it is packed full of ceramides. What exactly are ceramides? They're a crucial part of the skin's lipid barrier that helps to retain moisture, protect against external pollutants and keep any irritation out. That's what makes this AESTURA cream so perfect for sensitive skin. The cream is also free from any fragrance, has been allergy-tested and is gentle enough for the whole family to have also backed Frankie's praise up with one happy shopper writing: "The hydration is next-level - rich without being greasy, and it absorbs beautifully. What really impressed me, though, is how calming and soothing it is. My skin feels balanced, soft, and genuinely healthier after using it." While a second claimed it's: "The HOLY GRAIL for dry and sensitive skin". However, if you've got oilier skin this might be too much moisture, one shopper said: "After using it on my face, I felt like it was super moisturising, but for my skin type (combo leaning towards oily and sensitive), it felt like a bit too much. I would continue on with my day and still feel like there was a layer of moisturiser on my skin." If you're looking to achieve 'glass skin' without a using a product so thick, it may be worth trying out a milky toner. My personal favourites include BYOMA's Hydrating Milky Toner, Curel's Moisture Facial Milk and Beauty of Joseon's Glow Replenishing Rice Milk.

'I tried Erborian's new milky serum, it gave me plumper, glowier skin overnight'
Erborian's new milky serum promises glass-like skin overnight, and after just one use, I saw glow, hydration, and a noticeably plumper complexion Milky toners are a bit of a buzzword right now in the beauty world, but in my opinion, the ones I've tried actually live up to their hype. From BYOMA's Hydrating Milky Toner, £11.99, to Curel's Moisture Facial Milk and Beauty of Joseon's Glow Replenishing Rice Milk, I've trialled my fair share. And now K-Beauty brand Erborian has just launched its new Skin-Therapy Milky Serum. A biphase milky texture thats ideal for us who have normal to oily skin. I was intrigued by this as its a serum rather than a toner, and on the fact that it promises to target seven areas of the skin with just one tiny bottle. I'm not a massive fan of layering hundreds of different products on my face, so having a one-and-done product really appeals to me. Packed full with 17 powerhouse ingredients, including glow-giving Yuzu, soothing Centella Asiatica, and Ginseng, this milky serum is ideal for those with oiler skin or those who prefer a barely-there feel. Plus, it's got skin-plumping Hyaluronic Acid and 10% PHA to gently exfoliate, clear pores and smooth texture, along with Allantoin to calm any redness. Erborian Skin-Therapy Milky Serum review I'm already a huge fan of Erborian. The CC Red Correct with Centella Asiatica is my current go-to base product and one of my favourite ever skin tints. While the Super BB Concealer also has a spot in my everyday make-up bag. So I was very excited to test out this new launch. Firstly, I love the packaging, the glass bottle makes the serum feel really premium and the pipette makes the product so easy to use (makes sure to shake well before use as its a biphase texture). Secondly, I really enjoy the consistency, it feels oiler than serums I've tried in the past, but this makes the product glide so smoothly onto the skin and leaves the skin with that immediate radiance. The serum claims to have visible results after the first night, and I was pretty skeptical about this as I find a lot of brands claim that without actually having any instant results. But after using this serum for one night, I found that my skin felt hydrated, plumper and looked visibly glowy (in a trendy glass skin way, not a sweaty way). My sister even commented that my skin looked so bright and awake on our 7am morning walk. Because of the 10% PHA content, Erborian recommend using this as a night-time-only treatment, ideally on its own (though a moisturiser on top is fine). As I mentined above, that's ideal for me, I don't love layering lots of products, especially when I'm short on time before bed. I've struggled to find anything wrong with this product so far, I do have oilier skin so this product works perfectly for my skin your skin is on the drier side though, you might find it not quite hydrating enough. In that case, I'd suggest trying the Skin Therapy Oil Serum from the same range. It has a richer, oil-based texture that's better suited for dry or very dry skin. It is on the pricier side at £45, but considering how many areas it targets and the fact it eliminates using lots of other serums or toners, I think the price is justified.
