“Glass skin,” perfect skin craze- plastic looking.

[Anonymous]

This is right up there with Botox and plastic surgery. Girls are starting to look like AI robots, their lips so obviously have injections. Scary times, guys will wonder who they’re really sleeping with once the “gloves” come off.

I’m starting to think all girls look a lot.

Glass skin is due to skin creams, and doesn't relate to lip injections.

And who cares about what guys think?

You think women do this for each other? Apparently, a lot of women care a lot about "winning a man" with their "good looks".

It's creepy, fake, and a sign of an airhead.

It’s not attractive. It looks like someone forgot to wash off their facial mask.

Glass skin is not something that comes off like a glove. It's due to a dedicated skin care routine. Not injections or whatever.

You just sound jealous of these beautiful young women with flawless looking skin.

Well I'm married and still do a detailed skin care routine, not trying to win any man. Not everything a woman does is for men or the male gaze.

Come to think of it, yes, the girls appear to have nice skin but it does look too contrived.

I get complimented on my glass skin all the time.

The funny thing is it’s literally just layers upon layers of sunscreen. I burn easily and am terrified of aging, so I layer multiple sunscreens and it gives me the shininess. 10 years ago people made fun of how shiny I was and now they think it’s attractive.

Just goes to show how much of what we find attractive is trends.

Being attractive and having bearskin is not being an airhead.

Maybe if you were not so jealous you would not be so ugly

I get your point but none of this is related.

Glass skin is really only achievable for the very few who have poreless skin (or undetectible pores), which some people do. For those who want to mimic it, it's a hell of a lot of primer and reflective moisturizer. Which can cause breakouts because both of those things clog pores.

Lip injections are filler, which don't come off in the morning (lol!) and can be done in away that is really natural and/or corrective, or can be overdone in a way that is exaggerated and silly looking (like the Kardashian look).

Botox is a neuromodulator, which freezes wrinkles, but not always completely (arguably, it should not freeze completely). Like filler, it gets a bad wrap for being overdone, which some people do, and then they start to look like everyone else who does it and it becomes an easy to recognize "look" that makes people get on social media and say "I cAn TeLl wHeNeVer SomEonE hAs BoTox iTs so ObViOuS!" which is not actually true. This seems more common in younger women who really do not need it, because it fixes their face in a way that only happens in women of a certain age. You might also notice it in women over 50 or 60 because...they should have wrinkles. For women in middle age who don't over do it, that's the sweet spot when used with a lighter touch.

Anyway, yes, the pressure in certain circles to look a certain way has gotten ridiculous. Social media has made it so much worse. But this has always been the case in certain circles. Now, it's just becoming popular with more invasive procedures (maybe not even less expensive, since highlights and certain brands were never cheap).

This should be in the beauty forum.

I've never heard of this trend and don't care about it.

Wrinkles and weathered skin show that a person has lived in the real world. Much better than all of this fake masking. Live life and be proud of the battle scars!

What sunscreens do you use?

I thought this was yesterdays trend

I thought it was from lasers and peels not masks.
