"Where to buy face massage books you've shown?"

I get asked this quite a lot so here I'll tell you how I got my books. I know many of you are looking for a simple way to purchase them but this task is actually more challenging than we would wish for.

This is because the excellent face massage books I love are written in Korean and not really available for purchase apart from Asia (at least I'm unaware of them being translated into English and available for sale outside Asia). Furthermore I don't speak Korean myself so I'm unable to give you the exact titles and author's names. Besides, even if we had these information, search for them by English titles or English spelled authors' names would most likely be fruitless.

I bought the book on the left which translates to something like "Plastic surgery in your hands" from here. It is an online shop of Polish blogger who lives in Singapore. When you buy a book, she goes to buy it in the local bookshop and sends it to your address. She added few pages of basic Korean to Polish translation to the purchase.

This book is also available on Gmarket and yes24.com. I have been told by my Korean friend that it's available there as an ebook as well. Perhaps you can ask someone who speak Korean for help with the purchase? ;)

The book below is thankfully easily to buy outside Asia (for example on Amazon or eBay here) and it's in English. I feel like Japanese lady Chizu Saeki's tips and tricks would be especially appreciated by those who are a bit suspicious about younger women talking about the benefits of face massage. Chizu is a prime example how face can be transformed at any age by suitable facial routine. I also recommend it for someone who starts with facial massage and Asian skincare and who has never heard about their "way of doing things" before.

On the left and right are books which I purchased in a bookshop in Korea during my last visit. The books were bought in YP Books. On their website (Korean only I'm afraid) as well as at yes24.com at least one of them is available in ebook version (check here and here).

As I don't speak Korean myself, I ask for help with translation native Korean speakers. I recently began my cooperation with an organiser of Saturday Korean classes in Edinburgh - click here to see his Facebook page and to get in touch.

Apart from books, the web is a rich source of facial massage inspirations from all over the world. Below are some good examples I found online:

I hope that helps, many thanks for looking and good luck in getting these precious books :)
