Beauty's Only Skin Deep is the debut solo album by Cherie Currie, recorded between September and 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, although it was scantily available there as an import. The record was released in France and Japan (the latter complete 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 U.K.

"Love at First Sight" was a duet between Cherie and her twin sister, Marie. 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".
