A new year is a time for new beginnings. There’s no better time to refresh your skincare routine — especially if your goal is to finally achieve that porcelain-perfect complexion you’ve been dreaming of. And after months of cold brutal winter weather trying its hardest to sabotage our skin, a reset feels more than necessary.
Olivia Umma makes it easy to achieve that glossy-smooth, ‘glass skin‘ glow. This Korean-made skincare brand blends clean ingredients, science-backed formulas, and the signature K-beauty aesthetic — all without complicated routines or harsh additives. It’s created for every age and skin type, offering gentle, effective products in gorgeous little bottles that look beautiful on your counter and perform even better on your skin, all while helping you reach that clear, luminous, porcelain-like radiance.
Below are the Olivia Umma products that have earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine — and have quickly become my go-to picks for achieving that dreamy smooth, translucent, almost candlelit glow K-beauty is known for.
GLASS SKIN TANGHULU SHINE MUSCAT CLEANSER
It starts with a clean slate. Inspired by the glossy, sugar-coated shine of Tanghulu fruit, this foaming cleanser creates the perfect glass skin base. It melts away dirt, makeup, and buildup without stripping your skin of natural oils — which is so important in winter when dryness can sneak up fast.
It leaves my skin soft, smooth, and glowing before I’ve even reached for my serum. It’s gentle enough for daily use but effective enough to give you that “my skin already looks better” feeling after each wash.
GLASS SKIN TANGHULU BLUEBERRY SERUM
A high-quality facial serum should always follow cleansing. If you desire porcelain skin, this one is your holy grail. Packed with antioxidant-rich blueberry extract, this serum helps brighten, calm, and smooth the skin so you can achieve that silky, pore-less look K-beauty is famous for.
It sinks in beautifully, instantly plumps out fine lines, and leaves behind that hydrated, luminous sheen that looks incredible under makeup — or on bare skin.
PUDDING CALMING CREAM
Winter skin can be rough — literally. Dry air, cold wind, and indoor heaters can leave your face irritated and tight. Between the chapped cheeks of winter and the scorching sunburns of summertime, this pudding-textured calming cream feels like a cool drink of water for angry or stressed-out skin throughout the year.
It soothes redness, hydrates deeply, and leaves my skin feeling cushiony soft. It’s lightweight but powerful — perfect for those days when your skin just needs some extra TLC.
Ultimate Barrier Restore Cream
Think of this as your porcelain skin armor. If you want that glassy, flawless look, your moisture barrier needs to be strong — especially during colder months. This cream locks in hydration, prevents moisture loss, and protects your skin from getting chapped or flaky.
It creates the smoothest, softest canvas and keeps my skin protected from harsh weather. I especially love using it at night so I can wake up looking rested and silky-smooth. I’m looking forward to using it all year long.
Glow Ceramide Liptox
Glow Ceramide Liptox adds the perfect finishing touch to your glass skin look. Liptox is a long-lasting, moisturizing gloss with a hint of beautiful tint, leaving the lips with a rich and glossy finish. Liptox is enriched with ceramides and shea butter for lips that feel silky smooth, hydrated and glowing. This amazing lip gloss comes in 3 gorgeous shades: Pink, Burgundy, and Orange.
I love Glow Ceramide Liptox. I always love a pop of color on my lips, but they tend to dry out fast. This product not only adds sheer color and shine, but it is super moisturizing, plumps my lips and stays put without feeling heavy or sticky.
