The reason you know about K-beauty today—and likely own one or two beauty products that originate from Korea—is because of Charlotte Cho. The California-born entrepreneur and esthetician started online retailer Soko Glam back in 2012, and has since written a book, launched a blog, and even created a new skincare line called Then I Met You. In this episode of Go To Bed With Me, Cho walks us through her expert and meticulous nighttime skincare routine.
Cho starts off with a double cleanse, which means using an oil-based cleanser before a water-based cleanser to get every last stitch of makeup off her skin. She starts her routine with the Then I Met You Cleansing Balm. After cleansing, she exfoliates with a gentle sugar-based scrub from Dear, Klairs. “You rinse if off and it will just feel baby smooth and soft,” she says.

[Sound on] When I first learned about skin care, it seemed like such a chore. But after discovering the double cleanse, I realized how nice and relaxing the experience was… and I started to look forward to it every morning and night. . . This #ASMR video of @thenimetyou embodies how I zeroed into all the aspects of what would make an elevated cleansing experience. It’s about the creamy and rich textures, hints of rosemary, and the top shelf ingredients I used to get the experience that would make it an effective and luxurious experience. These cleansers were designed specifically for those looking for a turning point in their routine and those who could appreciate the elements that make it so special. #thenimetyou #glowdeeper

“Now that my skin is a little fragile from all that cleansing, I want to bring my skin back to its happy place,” she says before applying a beauty water on her skin. Next, comes a sheet mask. “I literally put sheet masks in my fridge just to have that extra cooling effect,” she says. “There’s a lot of essence left over in this pouch. Dip your hands in and use it on your hands and your next.”
After masking comes an essence. “It’s 93% fermented ingredients, which is my all-time favorite ingredient,” she says. She puts a few drops in her hand and taps it into her skin.
