Do Hair-Minimizing Body Lotions and Butters Really Work? 2 Experts Weigh In

Image
Waxing, laser, shaving - there's no shortage of hair-removal methods out there, but when it comes to budget-friendly, store-bought products (aside from shaving, of course), the options get a bit more limited. You can give at-home waxing kits a go, but they take a little practice to get the hang of. Not to mention, it takes a strong mind and determination to rip a waxing strip off of yourself ; it's not for everyone. Which leaves the question: do hair-minimizing body butters and lotions work? How Hair-Minimizing Body Lotions Work "[Hair-minimizing lotions] usually work by altering the structure of the hair follicle, making it weak in order to slow down the production of hair," said dermatologist Dennis Gross, MD . There are different ingredients that can be used in products to minimize hair growth, but capislow is one of his favorites. Karly Fitzgerald, the senior manager of product strategy and development at European Wax Center , further explained how the bran

Sofia Vergara ’s latest look is the perfect example of how to incorporate spring trends into at-home ensembles. The “Modern Family” star posed with her dog for a “#fashionselfi” in a mirror in her living room; she blended together comfort and style in a pair of ripped jeans and a ribbed long-sleeve shirt. Her top echoes tie-dye trends and pops of green that debuted during spring ’20 shows like Versace in Milan and Louis Vuitton in Paris. In addition to her chic choice of shirt, Vergara also took on the growing spring trend of thong sandals; her gold flip-flops included a thin metallic upper strap and a textured flat outsole. As she self-quarantines at home, the actress shared her appreciation for family, saying: “Thankfull for being able to have my son and husband with me.” View this post on Instagram Cuarentena #fashionselfi Thankfull for being able to have my son and husband with me A post shared by Sofia Vergara (@sofiavergara) on Mar 31, 2020

Last night, Jonathan Van Ness appeared on Jimmy Fallon's talk show The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon . Since self-isolating, Fallon has taken his late-night show online and video chats with guests in the new format. Among other things, Fallon asked Van Ness one important question we've all been wondering ourselves since social distancing started: how do you cut your own hair at home while salons are closed ? Given Van Ness's professional experience, he didn't need to think too hard about that one. "I think the most important advice is to not . . . it's just to not do it," Van Ness said. No matter how tempting it is to pick up the scissors while you're spending time at home, resist the urge. He continued to explain that the average human head grows between a quarter to a half an inch a month. "Worst-case scenario, this is going to give you two inches, three inches of hair," Van Ness said. Instead of attempting a DIY chop, he recom

Image
Leave it to Rihanna to bring us some joy with her new April SS20 Savage X Fenty collection. The 32-year-old musician and designer teamed up with her brand's ambassador, Normani , once again for another dreamy photo shoot. The campaign shows off the lingerie collection's latest drop, which is available now to shop on Savagex.com . For the last drop, Normani gave us major goddess energy, and this time, the singer amplified it times 100 with a group of models. If I'm being honest, the first thing I thought of when looking at the images is that they look like a badass girl squad ready to take on the world. Like past collections, the size-inclusive line includes an array of sultry bras, slips, and panties for all occasions at affordable prices. Think: a sheer bralette or sexy lace catsuit that all come in either a new rainbow ombré star print or an artsy outline print of a woman's body.
