Have you always longed for that fresh, glowing, no-makeup look? With this step-by-step guide, anyone can attain healthy skin with confidence. But Skin Care for Your Soul takes it one step further―it guides you to a place where skincare is also self-care.
The skincare journey. As much as we’d like it to, 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 their 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.
Dive into her 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

Sunscreen, snail slime, and a sense of fun: Jude Chao has been tying skincare to self-care since 2015, when her essay, “How My Elaborate Korean Skincare Routine Helps Me Fight Depression,” appeared on Fashionista.com. Since then, she’s published steadily as a freelance beauty writer and on her blog, Fifty Shades of Snail, helping countless readers improve both their skin and their lives by harnessing the power of a skincare routine as a tool for managing mental health.
