"Cloudless skin refers to an unblemished complexion," says Dr. Audrey Kunin, board certified dermatologist and founder of DermaDoctor. "It takes its name from the phrase 'not a cloud in the sky.'"

In literal visual terms, cloudless skin specifically means that skin has an even, glowing, poreless appearance and it's free of spots. It is basically your best skin care self. Glow Recipe co-founders and fo-CEOs Sarah Lee and Christine Chang add that cloudless skin is "when your skin is at its most healthy and radiant."

So... no pressure, right?

Are all the trending Korean skin care terms starting to blur together? Let's recap: A helpful way to remember the differences is that skin is meant to look like its descriptor. So, glass skin is a complexion so smooth and clear that it looks like a pane of glass, according to Lee and Chang. Honey skin is about all-over shine like skin has been highlighted with honey — minus the stickiness. And, as previously mentioned, cloudless skin is clear, bright and discoloration-free. It can have "a whisper of translucency, like a cloudless sky after a rain," say Lee and Chang. Some could argue that cloudless skin could be called "sunny skin"... but we won't make it more confusing.

Cloudless skin is a skin care-focused look first and foremost, so having the right products in your arsenal is essential. The first step in any cloudless skin routine is a good cleanser that will clear out pores without stripping skin. Using the right cleanser is critical — in fact, Lee and Chang say the most important part of achieving cloudless skin is cleansing and having a clean canvas. They suggest using the Glow Recipe Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser, $34, to gently remove excess oil and dirt.

After cleansing, use an oil-controlling and protective mist, like the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist, $28. Lee and Chang recommend reapplying a face mist every two hours to balance hydration levels. After the initial mist, use a brightening serum on the full face, like the Glow Recipe Pineapple-C Bright Serum, $49, to achieve a sunny, cloudless glow. Finish with a soothing moisturizer so skin will be hydrated and have a lit-from-within glow. Oh, and don't forget to apply (and reapply) a quality sunscreen: No one wants discoloration to dampen their cloudless day — er, skin.

Cloudless skin is achievable for all skin types. The basic philosophies remain the same across all skin types, but the routine can be tweaked depending on skin's needs. Those with acne-prone skin might want to target pigmentation and discoloration from acne scars. People with dry skin will want to ensure skin is free of flakes and they are using a nourishing moisturizer. Complaining about having huge pores a la Regina George in "Mean Girls?" Smooth your complexion with pore-cleaning skin care products and pore-filling primers.

Anyone with oily or combination skin might be concerned about the moisturizing steps in the typical cloudless skin care routine. Lee and Chang point out that it's actually important that oily skin still needs hydration. When we allow our skin to get too dry, it compensates by producing even more oil, so keeping hydration levels balanced is key.

With the "cloudless" goal of poreless, even skin in mind, it might be tempting to slather on the foundation. Instead, do the opposite: Cloudless skin is about achieving radiant, healthy skin with skin care products, rather than covering up skin with makeup.

Still, makeup can be part of the look: Lee and Chang say cloudless skin is a combination of skin care and makeup. The key takeaway is that skin care prep is strong so that the makeup used is minimal, e.g. pore-refining primers or BB creams. "[In cloudless skin] makeup is used as a way to highlight the skin versus cover up," say Lee and Chang.
