The most unique place Kim Kardashian has gotten laser hair removal...


Coming from Armenian descent, all of the Kardashian offspring have beautiful and thick, glossy dark hair. While the hair growing from the top of their heads is definitely envy worthy, the hair they have growing else-where is apparently less desirable... 

As featured on their reality show, and often discussed, all Kardashian sisters adamantly favor permanent laser hair removal. Utilizing laser hair removal for treatments "head-to-toe," Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney have had the usual spots taken care of: legs, armpits, bikini, face. 

Kimberly, however, took laser hair removal a step further. "I used to have the hairiest forehead," she recently revealed to InStyle magazine. "All of my baby bangs would get Photoshopped out of magazine pictures, and I liked the way that looked, so I lasered them off. It really opened up my face so much." 

While obviously beautiful, her baby bangs almost make her seem more real? In order for to have felt compelled to have something like baby bangs permanently removed, the pressure she must constantly feel to look beyond perfect, 24/7, has to be incredible.What do you think?

DIY: Uni-sex aftershave

Even though it smells lovely, the initial association my brain makes with aftershave is this: 


However, despite my early-90's pop-cultural associations, aftershave is used because it does do good things for the skin. Used after shaving, the appropriately named "aftershave" usually includes the following ingredients: 
  • Anti-inflammatories to soothe irritations
  • Antiseptics to sterilize any nicks or cuts, and prevent razor-burn (Alcohol is sometimes used for this, which is what causes the stinging sensation that Kevin's face exemplifies above.)
Typically used by men for their faces, aftershave is also a great addition to a female's beauty routine, as all of the benefits can also be  reaped when shaving legs, underarms, or the bikini area.
Aftershaves are a dime a dozen at the drug-store, but if you have the following ingredients on hand, you can easily whip up your own DIY, Unisex Aftershave.
  • 1TBSP Dark Rum (alcohol kills bacteria and germs)
  • 1 TBSP Aloe-Vera Juice (soothes the skin)
  • 3 TBSP Witch Hazel (extra germ killing)
  • 2 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar  (prevents in-grown hairs)
Mix ingredients together, and apply to skin with a cotton ball. Whether applied to his face, or your legs, the skin will be left silky smooth with nary a chance of razor-burn or dreaded in-grown.
