KBEAUTY

A K-beauty facial follows Korean skincare practice, which puts the skin barrier first and builds hydration in layers rather than stripping the skin to force a result. At Beauty Edit Mayfair it is the Glass Skin Glow Facial, 60 minutes at £120 or 90 minutes at £195, at 33 Berkeley Street, Mayfair.

Glass skin is the Korean term for skin that looks clear, even and reflective, the way glass is. It describes a finish rather than a product, and it comes from hydration and barrier health rather than coverage.
