Nifty little book on K-skincare, along with tidbits on her cultural experience in Korea. Read it for the 10-steps explanation and examples, as well as recommendations on products.

Este es probablemente el primer libro de no ficción del que hago una review en Goodreads y lo cierto es que me gustó y que cumplió exactamente con lo que prometía - darme educación sobre el cuidado facial -, de modo que no puedo más que ponerle un merecido 3, ya que me gustó pero tampoco me atrevería a decir que es el tipo de libro que te revoluciona la vida. 

Ahora bien, si lo que te interesa es el cuidado de la piel al estilo coreano: este es tu libro. En serio. Hace que un tema comúnmente aburrido como puede ser el de encontrar los cuidados y productos adecuados se haga ameno y tenga ágil lectura. Incluso me ha animado a mejorar mi rutina facial. De diez. 

Sin embargo, admito que el principio me resultó demasido autobiográfico - no digo que esté mal, simplemente es algo que yo no había previsto leer y no me fascinó - y el último capítulo tiene sentido si vas a viajar a Seúl o si eres lo suficientemente aficionado a la cultura coreana como para leer un capítulo dedicado a lugares de la ciudad o al modo de vida surcoreano. Supongo que, para mis objetivos, ese principo y ese final me sobraban un poco. 

Pero el libro ha sido ameno y me ha proporcionado la información que yo quería, así que le pongo la valoración que considero más justa en este caso y se lo recomiendo a quienes busquen un "por dónde empezar" en el cuidado de la salud facial.

I've been interested in skincare for a while now (what woman with acne isn't interested at least a little bit) and came across this book at my local library. Not only was it fascinating to find out how another country looks at and even celebrates their skin, but it gave a lot of amazing skincare tips that I hadn't heard before. There were also some tips that, while I had heard before, were explained in a way that made sense and I fully understood for the first time. (i.e. why toner is important.)

Since reading this book I have become more diligent about using sunscreen on more than just my face, started using a non-alcoholic toner, and began using an oil-based cleanser before using my normal face cleanser. My skin has never looked better. 

I look forward to learning more about South Korean beauty and products from Charlotte Cho and her company, SoKo Glam, but for now I'm happily recommending that you pick up this book.

5 stars.
