Here's me after a couple weeks of the 7-skin method (with light makeup and photographed in forgiving lighting, but still).
I'll say this: I was originally planning to pilot the technique for a week, but I still find myself patting on those seven layers of toner every night. And even though I started off only doing it before bed, I'll sometimes do the method in the morning as well, since it makes my skin feel so nice.
It wasn't a magic bullet — no, a few weeks of extra toner didn't miraculously grant me with flawless skin the likes of Lee and Chang (nor did I expect it to...well, mostly, anyway). But, on the whole, my skin is softer, dewier and more hydrated, which is certainly nothing to sneeze at — and like I said, I like the ritual of it.
Bottom line? If you're the type of person who likes to put a little extra TLC into their skin care routine, it's definitely worth giving a try. I know I'm glad I did.
