    • Entertaining, relatable story-telling, and VERY INFORMATIVE
Okay. I NEVER write reviews, but I HAVE TO for this book!!! Within the past month, I became very interested in Korean Beauty Routines, and learned all that I thought I needed to know from Charlotte Cho's website, "The Klog". I had no intention of buying her book since I felt like everything I wanted to learn about was already on the internet. What changed my mind was an excerpt from the book that was posted on her blog. It was such a cute, relatable, fun story-telling way of delivering information. True, a lot of the information in this book is on the blog, but you get A LOT more of the "scientific" explanations in an easy-to-understand way. The tone of the book is very friendly, and I feel like she's an older sister telling me about her adventures in both her beauty routine and travels. This book also reveals a ton about Korean culture, and more than ever, do I want to buy a ticket to go!! I'm 22 next month, and have been suffering from acne since I was about 11. I have oily and sensitive skin, with tons of hyperpigmentation, huge pores, very prone to whiteheads. Cystic pimples are very common. I've been on Accutane, have used topical treatments out the wazoo, have chemical peels from dermatologists, done the all-natural-hippy-dippy routine (as in, wash my face with pure honey, toned with ACV, moisturize with aloe vera/oils/witch hazel)...and never before have I felt more optimistic and excited about KBeauty and all the information I learned. Hopefully I will remember to come back in a month to edit my review to show how KBeauty has helped me! ... show more

    • Should be renamed "The Little Book of Squeal-worthy Skin Care products!" :-)
This book has been a surprise gem for me. I've always loved makeup colors and looks, but then tended to be very low maintenance, personally. However, I recently decided I was going to put a touch more effort into "me" time, starting with the purchase of a Clarisonic and some other skin care goodies. I saw this book cited in a magazine article where the author's portrait showcased her RADIANT complexion. She seriously glowed in this fantastic non-makeup looking way. I decided to buy the book and dove right in to the author's world of Korean skin care. Although there are definitely moments where I wish the author went more in-depth, or things were outlined perfectly clearly, I know from experience that food, health and beauty is never "one size fits all". So, instead I allowed myself to enjoy getting carried away to another world I had never really considered before: Seoul. The author's wonderful description of the people, city, food and culture made me want to sign up for a trip instead of just a new beauty regimen... and the plane tickets sure are cheaper than going to Europe. *fidget-fidget* Well, since I don't know a lick of Korean and now isn't a good time for a trip, I used the inspiration and suggestions from this book to pick up an assortment of (freaking seriously adorable!!) beauty products from Amazon. She does have a cute little website, and I was considering supporting her until I saw the huge array of offerings on Amazon-- and I am sorry, but I am spoiled by Amazon Prime! Search for: Tonymoly, Etude, Too Cool for School-- and others! I have to say that with the authors suggestions I felt the confidence trying things out, when I may have been more worried before reading this book if the products were legit. And, wow!, is she right-- Korean beauty products are mostly beyond adorable (think pandas, dinosaurs, puppies, fruit with faces and so many colors!) and mostly really frugally priced. Many things are under $10 and pretty much all are under $20. For under $150 I was able to pick up the most adorable hairband with kitty ears to hold back my hair while I give myself my daily "spa time", a hairband that is a fuzzy bow with dots, an awesome-sounding oil cleanser, water cleansers that look like eggs in an egg carton, pore cleaning strips that look like strawberries, brightening mask that looks like a tomato, a whole set of paper masks with cute wrappers that do different things, a huge set of lip glosses that look like bunnies, a cushion compact in my super pale skin tone, a triple set of blotting papers with a box that has dinosaurs walking through the city on the cover, and a light powder that looks like a smiling kitty (I know it's not dewy but I have very oily skin! It's for my t-zone only!). I also was lured into getting these little foam strawberry hair curlers... and a couple things doubled up for Christmas presents. Tiny, cute and frugal? What great qualities for stocking stuffers! Thanks to this not-so little book I feel like I have not only been opened up to a huge new world of affordable and adorable beauty products, but also to the thought of really enjoying my "me" time. I have been attempting to begin treating my skin as I will when I have all my new goodies and just the mindset has me feeling and looking better than ever. I am so excited for the goodies to arrive, I actually want to *Squee!* out loud, and be assured I will review each item as it arrives and I try it out. A warm-fuzzy thanks to Charlotte Cho! Maybe someday I will get to visit Seoul, have Korean BBQ, soju and a fun shopping spree! Until then there are animal-shaped face mists! :D UPDATE: 11/25/2015 A bunch of my goodies have already arrived (TY Amazon Prime!) and I am blown away by the packaging and how effective so many things have been even upon first use. Also I have marveled at how nice the other products, like the essency masks, have felt (which I hope to have positive cumulative effects!) that I will be rereading this book to look for more of her "favorites" to try down the line. After going through a "more-multi than I am used to"- step program this evening, with a double cleanse and a mask and some treatments... my skin looked amazing. Literally the best I can remember it looking post-puberty. Even my dear exasperated boyfriend said, "YES! I can see your glowing and poreless skin from here!! No I am not coming in there to stare at your nose!" :P Again, Thank you Charlotte Cho! :D UPDATE: 01/04/2015 I've been using methods and products suggested or influenced by having read this book for a couple months now and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. My one-time, clogged, blemish-prone, sensitive, starting to show tiny signs of aging, skin has been looking nicer and nicer. And I've been spending a fortune on product after product, looking for results without burning my face off, for decades now. The products I've found because of the influence of reading this book have given me my best skin since I was a pre-teen. Plus, I am enjoying it as "me" time, complete with cat ears headbands to hold my hair out of my face while I wear sheet masks and use products that come in panda bear-shaped tubes. I feel giddy sometimes at the whole experience- feeling fresh and pretty as well as having fun and enjoying myself. Oh, and though there are a lot of products I have gotten, some of which I have reviewed already, too-- if you have similar skin you may like "Mizon Snail" and "Skin Food Peach" products, in particular. Both of which you will find reviewed in my profile. I hope this helps and I wish you lots of luck with your skin care program! :-) ... show more

    • Fair starting point
I originally bought this book because I was interested in the 10-step Korean skincare routine from SOKO glam. I have always had combination skin with acne that lasted year round. I don’t think my face has been “clear” since 5th grade. I had tried everything from doctor prescribed oral/topical medications to big brand name acne products to home remedies. What I really liked about this book was that it addresses common misconceptions (author is originally from California and so she is very aware of Americanized skin care. I.e. my skin is oily so I need to dry it out with astringent. Tight skin feels clean. A tan indicates that someone is healthy and active. Etc. ). Korean skincare is about addressing particular skin needs and preventing further damage to skin. So in that sense it was helpful to have her breakdown how each product aids in the process of moisturizing and healing the skin. With that said, about 1/3 of the book was just about Korean food and life in Korea. That’s cool, but I didn’t even read the last 1/4 of the book because it was mostly off topic. I think it’s great for those who are interested in learning about and visiting Korea, but It wasn’t for me. I may gift a copy of this to some friends who are into Kdramas and, like myself, could use some help in the skin department. As far as actually constructing a skin care routine from the information provided in this book, I feel like it has given me a good place to start, but does not leave me feeling confident that this information alone has given me the knowledge to be successful. I first looked at the products in Soko glam’s 10 step kit for my skin type and made as close as I could to a duplicate set on amazon. Then, as I read through the book, I adjusted the list with suggested items and items that may target my skin better. I had to flip back and fourth through three areas of the book to start understanding what ingredients to choose and what to avoid. The First section was about the process and how it works, then I had to flip to the the section that addresses what to products to buy and what the benefits of each was (not highly detailed), then to a third section that talks about what ingredients to look for within a product. This was laborious and frustrating. I also felt a little abandoned because it’s an introductory book, yet several times the author repeats that it is up to us to look up the ingredients and to know what the benefits are for our skin (talked about benefits in general for skin, but now how they relate to specific skin types). I get it, I’m a big girl, but it would have been nice to have a section that said what products shouldn’t be mixed and what products are generally best for what skin types to give is a firm place to start. I feel like I had to make many educated guesses and had to do google research as I read through the book. I would suggest finding Korean skincare groups to help you as you assemble a skin care routine as well. Even just reading through their posts might drop little bits of info that help you along the way. On a final note: the author infrequently uses slang that not all readers will be familiar with. I had to google a items and I am a 25 year old technology savvy person who works with school aged children for a living. It wasn’t detrimental, but a kept looking for a footnote when I came across abbreviations with no explanation. Will update with information regarding the 10 step routine itself and the ease of adjusting the routine based on information provided in the book. ... show more
