Beauty's Only Skin Deep is the debut solo album by Cherie Currie, recorded during September–October 1977, and released in 1978. Kim Fowley and David Carr co-produced the effort. Mercury Records opted not to release the album in the United States. The record was released in France, and in Japan with a lyrics sheet. The title track was released as a seven-inch single in the Netherlands, backed with "Young and Wild", while "Call Me at Midnight" was released as a single in the UK.
AllMusic said that the album was somewhat unfocused, a collection of various songs that were not so successful at what they were attempting. The album was described as primarily pop rock with a few hints of new wave influence.
"Love at First Sight" was a duet between Cherie and her twin sister, Marie Currie. The song was released as a seven-inch single in Japan. For the flip-side, Cherie and Marie performed the same song in Japanese.
"Science Fiction Daze" was another Japanese single, backed with "The Only One".
