About the Author

Kerry Thompson's enthusiasm for skin care began at a very young age and eventually grew into a passion for documenting her skin-care adventures on her esteemed blog, Skin & Tonics. Her mission is simple: try emerging skin-care products from all over the globe, and distinguish between marketing hype and legitimately effective products. Kerry can often be found perusing peer-reviewed clinical research or speaking with cosmetic chemists and industry insiders. As an early US adopter of the Korean beauty philosophy, her relationships in the Korean beauty industry and continuing quest for knowledge make her the ideal guide to the unique and seductive world of Korean skin care. She lives in Raleigh, North Carolina.
