Korean "glass skin" looks creepy and is an insane beauty standard, amirite?

I've seen ugly people with "glass skin" and very good looking people with not so perfect skin. Skin standards are too high

I'm Korean, lived in Korea my entire life, and I'm sure that almost nobody here actually does those glass skin routines.. I always find it funny that "Korean glass skin routines" went viral in social media

It would be true for the people who hop on beauty trends. More women than men, though heard korean men are more open to routines and such than men from most countries.

Yes, but while it may be true for some people, I'm trying to say that the vast majority of Koreans don't follow this trend.

Oh yeah ofc, most koreans are probably too busy for this stuff.

To each of their own really. It can be said that all beauty standards are unnecessary

This is very bad, I agree.

It's fashion! Just another crazy thing people do now like duckface or piercings or clown eyebrows or lip filler or face tattoos or giant hair. It's not about looking good, it's just a passing trend.

Well, I heard that that piercings and tattoos are passing trend since childhood which was many years ago xD

I have never heard of this at all. It sounds kind of nightmarish, so I would say that I agree. This must be a TikTok or Facebook thing, because those are the two medias of social that I don't have anything to do with lol

I hadn't heard of it either. I googled and it just looks like they have rubbed vaseline on their face. Looks uncomfortable more than anything else.

Yeah, I've never been there. That's why I said "sounds" and not "is". That's what it seems like to me, it may or may not be true

I live there. Women generally try to do makeup better and stay in better shape, but the disturbing plastic doll face girls are more rare.

It looks greasy, if anything….

by Educational-Air-3214 3 months ago

Agreed. I think (or hope) it's just a passing fad.

by Craigbarrows 3 months ago

It literally just looks like my oily ass face when I don't blot and use powder lol. It's crazy to me that they want to look like that.
