Glass skin for oily skin: the secret
Glass skin (유리피부) isn't about adding oil or heavy creams. It's about deep hydration — water, not oil. Oily skin is often dehydrated underneath the shine. When you hydrate properly, your skin stops overproducing oil. The glow comes from hydration layers, not moisturizer.
The 7-skin method (adapted for oily skin)
Korean beauty's "7-skin method" means layering hydrating toner multiple times. For oily skin, 3 layers is the sweet spot. More than that and you risk looking greasy. The key: apply each layer while the previous one is still slightly damp. Pat, don't rub.
