How to Get a Mirror Skin Look with Your Skincare Routine

You’ve heard of glass skin, you know all about glazed skin… but what about mirror skin? We’re taking you on a deep dive into the hottest new skincare trend that will reveal your most dewy, hydrated and reflective skin yet!

What’s the hype with ‘mirror skin’? 

Glass skin is dewy and radiant, while glazed skin has that same dew, with a more diffused glow from within. And now, there’s a new, shinier, more reflective look in town – mirror skin! The new South Korean skincare trend is here and it’s easier to achieve than you think!

So, keep reading to discover how you can get intensely reflective, hydrated, smooth mirror skin, with products from Good Intent.

Don’t forget, great skin starts with Good Intent… it’s not about poreless, perfect skin... you’ll be surprised how much a positive outlook can change how you feel inside!

The Good Intent mirror skin routine

Want to find out how to get mirror skin at home? Don’t worry, we’ve got you. We’ve broken down the mirror skin routine into five easy-to-follow steps, using products from Good Intent, so your skin can be just as reflective as your bathroom mirror!

Step 1: start with a fresh canvas

If you’re hoping to achieve mirror skin that’s smooth, super hydrated and light-reflecting, then you need to start with a clean base. Skin that has residue of makeup, oil and products from the night before will appear dull and lacklustre – not to mention it won’t be at max hydration, since our skin can become dehydrated overnight while we sleep. That’s why a morning cleanse is non-negotiable. The Good Intent Cleansing Oil is infused with avocado and jojoba oil to cleanse away pore-clogging dirt and melt away impurities, leaving the skin feeling nourished.

Step 2: prep & perfect

To achieve the mirror skin look, your skin needs to be well-hydrated and moisturised, so the surface is smooth and light reflecting. The best way to do this is to incorporate hydrating toners and serums into your daily skincare routine. Here’s what a toner can do for your skin:

• Sweep away any final remnants of dirt sweat and oil on the skin for a fresh feeling
• Prime the skin to absorb your next layer of skincare products
• Rebalance your skin’s pH levels back to normal after potential disruption from cleansing

The combination of cica and niacinamide in the Good Intent Calm Fix Soothing Pads help to replenish the skin’s hydration levels, support your skin’s moisture barrier (which will help you retain moisture levels) and leave your skin feeling calm, soothed and ready to take on the day!

When it comes to hydration, why stop at one when you can quench your skin even further with the Good Intent Skin Sip Moisture Glaze Milk! It’s an ultra-silky, lightweight milk formulated with squalane and hyaluronic acid which rehydrates skin and protects it from dryness for a glossy, glass-like complexion. Need to top up on hydration throughout the day without disturbing your makeup? The Good Intent Radiance Reflect Spray Serum is a featherlight serum that helps replenish lost moisture to help you maintain that mirror skin look all day long.

Step 3: layer on the glow

Just like glass skin, mirror skin requires layering multiple products to ensure your skin gets the maximum amount of hydration, so it can have that light-bouncing look. Get the most out of your mirror skin routine by pairing products with complementary ingredients that work together to brighten, smooth and hydrate your skin at the same time, applying them from thinnest texture to thickest, so everything can be absorbed.

Ingredients to know about, for a refined, smooth and bright complexion include:

• Hyaluronic acid – a humectant that draws water from the atmosphere, into your skin for long-lasting moisture
• Vitamin C – an antioxidant which helps support radiant skin
• Exfoliants like AHAs, which sweep away dead skin cells that may cause blemishes to reveal a smoother-looking complexion

If you want glowing skin under your eyes, skip the heavy creams in that area and opt for the Good Intent Bounce Skin Sip Bouncy Eye Cream. This lightweight, bouncy cream is enriched with collagen and squalane to brighten and hydrate the under-eye area morning and night.

Step 4: seal the deal

By this stage in your morning mirror skincare routine, you should have reached maximum levels of plumped, hydrated skin. You’ll probably notice that your skin looks dewy, soft and plump – this is exactly where we want to be at this stage – and we want to keep it this way, too!

So, reach for that trusty moisturiser to lock in all the goodness from your hydrating toners and serums. The lightweight, fast-absorbing Good Intent Dew Bank Water Cream with hyaluronic acid and camelia oil protects your skin against dryness, quenching your skin’s thirst to leave it feeling dewy and silky.

Got extra time, or doing your mirror skin routine at night? Get a deep hit of hydration with the Good Intent Collagen Jelly Hydro Gel Masks, an intensive sheet mask you can leave on for three to four hours (or overnight) to support your skin barrier and lock in hydration. Alternatively, the Good Intent Dream Drench Wrapping Mask is a 20-30 minute peel-off treatment you can use to protect against dryness and reveal instant luminosity – who doesn’t like the sound of that!

Step 5: protect

When was the last time you gave your pout the pamper treatment? When it comes to skincare, lips are often an afterthought – but fear not, the Good Intent Silky Jelly Lip Mask (NPD link) is here to moisturise, hydrate and smooth your lips to mirror skin levels with its shea butter-infused jelly formula… now that’s something to pout about!

The secret to mirror skin: ingredients that work

Want mirror skin? Make sure you’re clued up on what ingredients will help you get your best skin yet!

Peptides, the building blocks of collagen, help plump the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and support the skin’s texture, strength and resilience . Another ingredient to watch out for is niacinamide. This skin hero has multiple benefits, which include minimising the look of pores, brightening dull skin and reducing redness – all of which will help you on your journey to mirror skin!

Why your skin will love it

And let’s not forget – mirror skin isn’t just skin that looks good… it’s skin that’s hydrated, protected and ready to face the elements!  Who doesn’t want skin with mirror-like shine that’s strong enough to face whatever life throws at you?
