About this audiobook
Take Your Skin to the Next Level with This Guide to Korean Skin Care
“This book feels like talking with a trusted friend, one so generous with practical advice and wisdom. I wish our Dermatology textbooks had chapters like these!” —Dr. Erin Tababa-Santos, creator of The Nerdy Derma
#1 New Release in Massage and Skin Ailments
Have you always longed for that fresh, glowing, no-makeup look? With this step-by-step guide to Korean skincare routines, anyone can attain healthy skin. But Skincare for Your Soul takes it one step further―it guides you to a place where skincare is also self-care.
The Korean skin care journey. As much as we’d like, glowing, clear skin doesn’t happen overnight. But there is beauty in the process―not just the results. Author Jude Chao links skincare to self-care culture, giving readers a practical guide to developing an ideal skincare routine and using it to help manage stress, anxiety, and depression. The Korean skincare routine invites us to look at our skincare not only as a way to reduce lines and wrinkles or clear up breakouts, but as a tool for developing our self-care habits.
Steady improvement is the goal. Photoshopped perfection is neither realistic nor a healthy goal. What matters is caring for our mental health and building our self-esteem by intentionally taking time each day to give our skin some love. But it starts with changing how we view skincare and developing a routine that fits our personal needs and goals, and Chao helps you do that.
Dive into Chao’s book on K-beauty and discover:
An easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide to skincare
A clear breakdown of skincare products (not brands), and pros and cons to help customize your routine
How Korean skin care can be a reliable and effective mental health management tool
Tips for avoiding common types of exploitative and manipulative beauty marketing
If you enjoyed books like The Little Book of Skin Care, The Skincare Bible, or Glow from Within, you’ll love Skincare for Your Soul.

Reviews for Skincare for Your Soul
2 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved the story and the meaning behind it I fully recommend
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent soft guide for skincare newbies or those wanting to hop back on it. I appreciate Jude sharing insight and advice beyond skincare - how skincare can really uplift your soul as a human being and how it can be used to improve your mental health. I also enjoyed the science-based facts and debunking myths or "cult facts" that are actually not true and more harmful, all in a graceful and non-judgmental way.
