A real client tries the Glass Skin Facial at Gaia Day Spa – and gets asked for ID afterward! Is this the glow-up we’ve all been waiting for?
Ever wish your skin could look as luminous and fresh as the “glass skin” you see in K-beauty feeds? Gaia Day Spa’s new Glass Skin Facial is designed to deliver exactly that – next-level radiance, smoothness, and hydration that genuinely gets noticed. Our client Radika tried it out, and her glowing results got more than a few double-takes.
What is the Glass Skin Facial?
Inspired by the Korean skincare trend, the Glass Skin Facial at Gaia Day Spa is all about creating that almost-reflective, ultra-hydrated, impossibly smooth look – like your complexion is lit from within. But this isn’t just another relaxing spa experience; it’s a layered, targeted treatment using powerhouse actives and carefully chosen steps.
Backed by Germaine de Capuccini’s medical-grade technology and over 60 years of expertise, this facial infuses actives six times deeper and faster than traditional treatments – delivering instant results that are loved by clients around the world and trusted in over 20,000 clinics and spas.
The facial starts with a superficial peel to gently sweep away dull surface cells and prep the skin for what’s to come. This is followed by a series of high-potency active serums that infuse the skin with deep hydration and nutrients. Vitamin C and ferulic acid, two of the skincare world’s most sought-after antioxidants, work together to brighten, protect, and visibly boost glow, helping fight free radicals and supporting a more even tone.
What does that mean for your skin?
Glass skin glow: Your complexion looks naturally smooth, even-toned, and radiant – just like glass.
Deep hydration: This facial tackles dryness and tightness, leaving skin soft and comfortable all day.
Skin barrier repair: Supports your skin’s natural defences, keeping it calm, balanced, and less reactive.
Better texture: Smooths rough patches and fine lines for a fresher, softer feel.
Plumper, firmer skin: Encourages natural collagen production for improved fullness and bounce.
Visible results: 86% of clients noticed a more even and luminous skin tone.
Every step is designed for real results, from smoothing texture to plumping fine lines and deeply replenishing moisture. The finish? That signature “glass skin” radiance, with skin that looks clear, dewy, and incredibly soft to the touch.
Radika’s first impressions
“I’d heard of glass skin facials from the show Emily in Paris and seen them online, but this was my first time actually trying it,” Radika says. “I do love that shiny, glowy look. I moisturise my skin a lot, but this was a chance to see if I could get that next-level glow.”
The experience
Radika’s treatment was carried out by beauty therapist Allissa, with Gaia Day Spa’s owner and senior beauty therapist Kathryn on hand. “Allissa and Kathryn explained every step really well – there are a lot of layers and different sensations. One part felt cool, another was tingly, but I always felt comfortable. And the arm massage while my mask was on? Loved it. Honestly, I just zoned out and relaxed.”
Each product was introduced and explained, with special focus on what it would do for Radika’s skin. The peel gently refreshed her complexion, the serums left her skin feeling bouncy and deeply hydrated, and the finishing touches locked in moisture for days to come.
Visible results – and a surprise at the supermarket
“Soon after having the Glass Skin Facial, I popped into the supermarket to purchase some wine, and the supervisor asked to see my ID. I’m in my 40s, so it absolutely made my day. I told him, ‘It must be this facial I had yesterday!’”
Radika said her skin felt “glowy, moisturised, soft, and supple, even days later.” She noticed that her face stayed hydrated and luminous longer than after her usual facials.
So is the Glass Skin Facial worth it?
“It’s not your typical facial – it’s next level,” says Radika. “I’ve had other facials, bit this one is definitely more involved and gives more lasting results. Would I do it again? Absolutely. I’ve already booked my next one before heading overseas!”
Why Gaia Day Spa?
For Radika, Gaia Day Spa is about more than just the treatments. “Kathryn and her team are incredible. They’re not trying to upsell you or rush you. The attention to detail, the immaculate environment, the way they make you feel like you matter – it’s wonderful and I really appreciate what going there has done for my skin.”
Final verdict
Radika says, “The words radiant, hydrated, smooth, and luminous absolutely describe how my skin looked and felt. The experience was amazing, and I left feeling totally cared for – and glowing.”
