Who Wears Short Shorts?
Week #1 Prompt: Short Shorts | Word Count: 1469 | Rating: M | Pairing: Steddie | Characters: Eddie, Steve, Robin | CW: Mild Sexual Content | Tags: Post S4, Everybody Lives, Eddie POV, Platonic Stobin, Silliness, Fluff, Hair Removal, Getting Together, Blame it on Nair Fumes
Letting himself inside, Eddie looks around, and the house seems empty, even if Steve's car is in the driveway. He pauses, and he's pretty sure he hears the faint sound of music coming from upstairs.
"Hey! Steve?!" Eddie screams, and waits. Nothing.
So, he climbs the staircase, and that's when he hears that the music is coming from the bathroom. He can also hear Steve and Robin talking, arguing, laughing.
When he gets to the doorway, he's very confused.
Very, very confused.
"What exactly is going on here?" Eddie asks, looking back and forth between Steve and Robin, both standing in the bathroom, wearing short shorts, white lotion slathered all over their legs, "And what's that smell?"
Eddie pulls his shirt up over his nose. It smells like some of the chemicals that Wayne sometimes comes home smelling like after a shift at the plant.
It's caustic. Burning his eyes and nose.
Robin wiggles her leg in his direction, "Nair."
"Hold still!" Steve chides her, trying to get her to stop moving without messing up the application.
"Nair," Eddie repeats.
"Nair," Steve confirms.
"And…"
"Who wears short shorts? We wear short shorts! If you dare wear short shorts, Nair for short shorts!" Robin and Steve both sing-song together, loudly, over the already loud music, waving their arms, legs kicking up together into a kickline, the idea of not moving around, obviously long forgotten.
And, oh. Steve's limber.
Flexible, and Eddie has thoughts he's not supposed to be having right now.
He feels insane as he reaches over and turns the music down, maybe a first, in his whole lifetime. He's not supposed to be the normal one in any situation. This is wrong. So wrong.
Like, he gets it. He watches TV. He knows what Nair is. Sort of. In theory. He definitely knows the commercial jingle. But he doesn't understand why this is happening right now. He thought they were going swimming. Not, whatever this is.
"You're using Nair? Why?" Eddie asks, because it smells like something that shouldn't be used by humans without proper ventilation. Maybe gas masks.
"Robin was curious, so I'm showing her how to do it," Steve says, like that's a normal thing for him to say.
"Okay, sure. Of course. New question, why do you know how to do it?" Eddie asks, as he mourns the loss of Steve's leg hair, that Steve is currently in the process of burning off with that eye-wateringly stinky cream.
"Swim team," Steve says, like that's an explanation. It's not. It's really, really not.
"Swim team," Eddie repeats.
"Yeah, for like, all that aerodynamic shit," Steve says, and Eddie can't help it. He smiles.
The kitchen timer dings, loud and shrill, in the small room.
"Is that so?" Eddie asks, leaning against the door jam, watching as Steve wipes the cream off of Robin's legs with a washcloth. Then forces her legs into the tub, one at a time, as he rinses them off. And Eddie can't tell if it worked or not, it's not like Robin's legs were all that hairy to begin with, at least not as far as he's ever noticed.
But, Steve. Steve's legs are hairy, just like the rest of him, and Eddie's curious. Morbidly, so.
Robin is running her hand over her legs, and Eddie watches as Steve just stands there, grinning at her.
"See?!" Steve says, excited.
Then she coughs.
"I'm gonna go get some fresh air," Robin declares, and Eddie wishes she'd bring a little in for the rest of them, honestly. This bathroom needs a window, desperately.
After she goes, Eddie looks back at Steve, "What about yours?"
"Takes a little longer, my hair is way more thick and coarse than hers," Steve says.
And, yeah it is.
Eddie doesn't want to admit, even to himself, what he thinks about all that body hair Steve has. But he definitely has thoughts about it. Lots and lots of thoughts.
"I'll do you next," Steve teases.
"The hell you will. I like my leg hair right where it is, Harrington."
"Suit yourself then," Steve says dryly, and he finally starts wiping down his own legs.
And yeah, he's losing hair up to his knee. Well, some of the hair. A little of it. Honestly, it seems very hit and miss as he wipes it away. Most of his leg hair just looks a little melted, singed, curled.
Damaged, not removed.
"Is it not working?" Eddie asks, curious what the plan is here.
"Well, it's not perfect," Steve laughs, and it looks pretty bad, but Steve doesn't seem to care, as he adds onto his thought with a breezy, "Oh well."
"Are you just gonna leave it like that?" Eddie asks. Because, honestly. No.
Steve just shrugs, "I guess I could shave them."
And Eddie is pretty sure his brain short circuits, because the next thing that comes out of his mouth is totally against his will, "Can I shave them for you?"
Steve stops, looks at him, then laughs, shrugging his shoulders, "Sure. Okay."
Eddie isn't sure why he asked that, and he feels like his cheeks are on fire. Steve reaches into the medicine cabinet, producing a razor and a can of shaving cream, handing them both to Eddie. Then he plugs the tub, runs some water, and wets his legs with a washcloth, before sitting down on the closed toilet seat.
Oh shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
"You want me to…?" Eddie asks, trailing off, waving his hand holding the shaving cream towards Steve's legs.
"You're the one that asked," Steve says, teasing him.
Eddie swallows, kneeling in front of Steve, squeezing some of the shaving foam onto his palm, and then runs it up Steve's leg, applying it, stopping when he gets to the knee.
Steve pulls up on his shorts, his already very short shorts, making them even more indecent, "Might as well go on up."
Eddie's dick twitches at the idea, but he nods, getting some more shaving cream and rubbing it up onto Steve's thighs.
Then he holds the razor in a slightly shaky hand, "You sure you want me to do this?"
Steve shrugs, "It'll grow back."
Eddie nods. That's not exactly what he was asking, but he grips Steve's foot in his hand, and starts running the razor upwards, gently. Trying to be careful. One stripe in, he leans over and rinses the blade off in the tub, looking back up at Steve's face.
And then keeps shaving, getting everything off his lower legs, before pausing, then just forges ahead. In for a penny, in for a pound.
He puts Steve's heel on his shoulder, giving him access to the underside of his thigh, and he's fully hard in his own shorts now, and he really hopes Steve won't notice. He's sure this isn't supposed to be that. He's not supposed to be getting off on this.
But he is. He really, really is.
He's such a goddamn pervert.
Then he sees it. The hard line of Steve's cock, pressing against his shorts. His tight shorts.
Eddie drops the razor. It clatters to the tile, and he laughs nervously as he reaches to pick it up.
What is he doing? What are they doing right now? It's madness. It's the fumes. They've gone to their heads. They've lost critical brain function, the both of them. That must be it. It's the only explanation.
Robin turns back up in the doorway, and they both turn and look at her. It must look crazy, Eddie between Steve's thighs, his leg hoisted up, covered in shaving cream.
"Oh, ew. No," she says, and disappears just as fast as she'd arrived, slamming the door behind her as she goes.
Steve chuckles, and Eddie gets back to work. Shaving, rinsing. Over and over, until Steve's legs are both bare.
It's weird, but Eddie can't help himself, and he runs his hand up Steve's calf, slow. Exploring.
And Steve moans.
Oh, goddamn.
Eddie suddenly raises up on his knees, sending Steve backwards, off-balance, falling against the toilet tank.
"Am I reading this wrong?" Eddie asks, chest heaving. Both of his hands clutching Steve's wet, smooth thighs.
Steve shakes his head, pupils blown wide, and Eddie runs his hand up, cupping Steve through his short shorts. Leaning forward, pressing against Steve, contorting Steve's body, as Eddie leans close enough to kiss him.
And he does, lips barely brushing, lightly, and it isn't lost on Eddie that he put his hand on Steve's dick before they even kissed.
Steve leans forward, surging into him, kissing back. Hand coming up to press against the back of Eddie's head, pulling him closer.
And Eddie's sure he'll die right here, for real this time.
If not from the lingering toxic fumes, definitely from Steve.

ive been reading through your gravity falls fic at a slow pace, and i keep getting to chapters as they're weirdly relevant to my life. biggest examples being when i was having sensory issues related to my hair and shaved my head just to later read the chapter where he uses the hair removal cream on the SAME DAY, and then ending up reading the chapters about bill's eyebat ex right when i have an eye infection (i'm fine!). i'm scared what the future holds, i think you put prophecies in there in more ways than one
i hope your haircut went better than Bill's did
it sounds like you didn't give yourself any chemical burns so you're already ahead of him there.
Just to be safe don't read the tooth fairy arc if you've got a dental visit scheduled and don't go hiking if you're in the ch 40s

Hair Removal Methods.
I was heavily inspired by a post I found on Reddit when making this post. I haven’t seen too many posts about hair removal methods on Tumblr, and I have quite a few asks in my inbox about that, so it made sense for me to make a small guide with tips, methods, and recommendations. If you want more information, product names, my sugar wax recipe, or just recommendations, please don’t hesitate to send me an email or just comment below for me to respond.
Shaving.
Cost: $
Speed: Average
Smoothness: Average
Discomfort: Low
Tips/Methods:
* Always buy men’s razors. They usually come with sharper blades that don’t clog as much as the blades on women’s razors.
* I only shave using hot water and when I’m in the shower. The hot water softens the hair and makes it easy to remove, and the flow of the water prevents my razor from clogging.
* The direction you shave is important. If you shave against the grain (the direction opposite the hair points), you can get a closer shave, but you risk ingrown hairs. Shave with the grain on sensitive areas and do multiple passes if needed.
* I personally use shaving cream from EOS and products from Topicals to lessen ingrown hairs and clear up dark marks. Shaving isn’t my preferred method or hair removal, but when I’m in a rush, it gets the job done.
Best for your whole body, especially large and flat areas like your arms and legs. It's cheap and effective but often time consuming. If you want to maintain a perfectly smooth body, you’ll have to shave or touch up at least twice a week.
Nair/Chemical Removal.
Cost: $
Speed: Medium
Smoothness: Smooth
Discomfort: Low
Tips/Methods:
* There are many brands but the basic idea is you apply the cream to your skin, wait 5-10 minutes while the hair “melts" off your body, then you wipe it off. You’ll definitely need to shower after using Nair to remove any excess cream and to avoid burning your skin. I would say this is mandatory unless your specific brand says otherwise.
* The process will probably smell pretty bad. You'll want to wipe the cream and hair off with something disposable to avoid ruining your regular towels. I personally use tissue, you can use anything easily accessible.
* PATCH TEST BEFORE USE. These creams and powders are made from very really strong chemicals and can absolutely mess you up if you aren't careful. Everyone's skin is different, so put a little on your arm first, see how it reacts, then use it on a larger area.
Best For: Armpits and pubic hair. I find these creams are best at getting hard to reach or uneven surfaces that your razor might struggle with. This is also a good option if you are in a hurry or don't have the option to try the options below.
Epilation.
Cost: $$
Speed: Slow
Smoothness: High
Discomfort: High
Tips/Methods:
* Epilators look kind of like foil shavers you'd use for your face, but the end has a roller with tiny clamps that essentially grab hairs and pull them out.
* Personally I think these hurt like a bitch, especially the first time you use them. You can definitely feel each individual hair get pulled out of your skin.
* The main benefit of an epilator (and waxing, discussed below) is that you're pulling the entire hair out, root and all. This means hair in that area will grow back significantly slower than shaving. It also means that if you're willing to commit to a routine, each future use with the epilator will be less painful.
* I highly recommend icing the area before and after to avoid swelling. That being said, the area needs to be completely dry for the device to work.
* Epilator performance has always been pretty hit and miss for me. They're good at getting coarse hair, but will struggle to get fine or short strands. Again, you will likely need to make a shaving pass to clean up anything left behind.
* Additionally, if your hair is too thick or the surface is too uneven, the epilator can get tangled and stop functioning leading to a super painful situation. As with any of these tips, definitely test on a small area and see how it performs for you so you can get a feel for the length/thickness your device can handle.
Best For: Flat smooth surfaces, primarily your arms, legs, and torso. Some people really love epilation, others don’t. I think epilation is an acquired taste and it’s not my favorite method.
Waxing.
Cost: $$ to $$$
Speed: Slow
Smoothness: High
Discomfort: High
Tips/Methods:
* When you need to get 100% smooth there is no substitute. I love the way my body feels after waxing or sugaring and it’s what works best for me.
* I'll do my best here as a general overview but please watch some video guides before attempting this. I'll cover the two most common options I have experience with: soft wax, sugaring, and hard wax.
* Soft Wax: Hot wax is applied to the skin, then bandage strips are applied over. Once the wax cools, the strips are pulled off, taking the hair with them. This method is probably what you've seen in movies. They're good for getting rid of finer hairs, but unlike hard wax, you risk taking off your skin if you do it wrong. If you're trying waxing at home (especially for the first time), avoid this option. Despite the name, hard wax is actually much safer and what I recommend
* Hard wax: Hot wax is applied to the skin. Once it hardens, you peel the wax off by itself, taking hair with it. Since hard wax only bonds to hair and not skin it's a much safer option for beginners and does just as good a job removing hair as soft wax. This is what I use when I don’t have time to make my sugaring solution and I've never looked back.
* Wax is warmed in a... wax warmer! It's a little pot with a heating element, kind of like a croc pot. Hard waxes come in pellets that you dump in, soft waxes usually come with their own container that pops into the unit. Look for a wax warmer that can adjust the temp, not just an on/off switch. Most but not all have this feature. Each wax brand is different so you'll need more/less heat to melt it correctly, especially if you're doing a longer session where the wax can begin to solidify in the pot.
* Popsicle sticks are a cheap, effective way to apply wax. You'll want something disposable as it can get quite messy.
* Waxing, like epilators, will slow down your hair growth. This means the more you do it in the same area the less hair will grow back, and the less painful each subsequent application will be.
* Your hair needs to be a certain length for the wax to catch, so check your brand and plan accordingly. My professional technician has mentioned 1/4th inch is a good guideline for when to start waxing.
* As with every method on this list, please test on a small part of your body first. The wax will be quite hot (like getting into a hot bath) but not so much that it burns your skin.
Best For: any area you want super smooth or silky.
Laser Hair Removal.
Cost: $$$$
Speed: Slow
Smoothness: Depends.
Discomfort: High
Tips/Methods:
* Getting started will take some time and effort. You have to set up a consultation beforehand before even scheduling a session where you'll talk to the professional, ask any questions, then work out your plan.
* Laser hair removal is a process over time, not a one and done. Considering each session can cost hundreds of dollars, we are talking a huge investment. It cost me $800 over 4 sessions just for a small area on my lower body. For larger areas, we could be talking thousands!
* On that note, the total cost is going to vary a ton. Not only will each area be priced differently, but most places require you to book multiple sessions in a row or packages of X sessions you can choose to use over a year.
* The pigment of your skin matters a lot. Generally speaking the darker your skin the harder/less effective the process will be. There are different types of lasers available that may make this irrelevant but you'll definitely want to do your homework.
Final Thoughts.
What matters most is time. If you have the time to wax or shave your whole body, go to a professional for laser hair removal or pro waxing, or epilate yourself, then you’ll have much better results than someone who rushes through everything. Learning, investing in quality products, and then actually investing time into the hair removal process will get you closer to where you want to be without wasting as much time or money as you would leaping in blind or with no effort.

How to Remove Arm Hair with Minimal Irritation
Removing chest hair is a common concern for many individuals seeking a smooth and hair-free look. Whether you're preparing for the beach, wanting to feel more comfortable, or just prefer a hairless chest, finding a painless method can be challenging. Fortunately, there are several effective ways to achieve this without enduring discomfort. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore various methods, focusing on the highly effective and virtually painless option of laser hair removal. We'll also touch on other popular techniques, compare their effectiveness and comfort levels, and provide practical tips for achieving the best results.
Understanding Chest Hair Removal Options
When it comes to chest hair removal, the options are plenty, but not all are created equal. Let's delve into the most common methods and discuss their pros and cons.
1. Shaving
Shaving is perhaps the most common and immediate method of chest hair removal. It’s quick, inexpensive, and can be done at home. However, it comes with its own set of challenges:
Pros: Quick, inexpensive, and can be done at home.
Cons: Temporary results, risk of cuts and ingrown hairs, hair grows back quickly and can be itchy.
2. Waxing
Waxing involves applying hot wax to the chest and then quickly removing it, pulling the hair out from the roots.
Pros: Longer-lasting results compared to shaving, smoother finish.
Cons: Painful, can cause skin irritation, and needs to be done regularly as hair grows back.
3. Depilatory Creams
These creams break down the protein structure of the hair, allowing it to be wiped away.
Pros: Easy to use at home, painless if done correctly.
Cons: Chemical burns or allergic reactions, unpleasant smell, temporary results.
4. Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a method that uses concentrated light to target and destroy hair follicles. This method is particularly effective for larger areas like the chest and provides long-lasting results.
Pros: Long-lasting results, minimal pain, reduces hair growth over time.
Cons: Requires multiple sessions, can be costly, needs professional treatment.
Why Choose Laser Hair Removal for Chest Hair?
Laser hair removal stands out as one of the best methods for removing chest hair without pain. Here’s why:
Effectiveness: Laser hair removal targets hair follicles directly, leading to a significant reduction in hair growth over time. For many, this means fewer sessions are needed compared to other methods.
Minimal Pain: While some discomfort may be felt, it’s often described as a mild tingling sensation. Modern laser technology has improved to the point where treatments are generally well-tolerated.
Precision: Lasers can target dark, coarse hairs without damaging the surrounding skin, making it a precise and safe option.
Convenience: Each session is relatively quick, and the results last much longer than shaving or waxing. Over time, you may only need occasional maintenance sessions.
Preparing for Laser Hair Removal
Before undergoing laser hair removal for your chest, it’s important to prepare your skin to ensure the best results and minimize any potential side effects.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Tanned skin can increase the risk of side effects. Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least six weeks before treatment.
Shave the Area: Shave your chest the day before your appointment. This helps the laser focus on the hair follicles without burning surface hair.
Avoid Other Hair Removal Methods: Stop waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams at least four weeks before your treatment. These methods remove the hair root, which is needed for the laser to work effectively.
Clean the Area: On the day of your appointment, ensure your chest is clean and free from any lotions, creams, or deodorants.
The Laser Hair Removal Process
Here’s what to expect during a laser hair removal session for your chest:
Consultation: A professional will assess your skin type, hair type, and discuss your goals to tailor the treatment plan to your needs.
Preparation: The area will be cleaned, and a cooling gel may be applied to protect the skin and help the laser penetrate more effectively.
Laser Application: The technician will use a handheld laser device to target the hair follicles. You might feel a slight stinging sensation, but it’s generally well-tolerated.
Post-Treatment Care: After the session, your skin might be slightly red or swollen. Apply aloe vera or a soothing lotion, and avoid sun exposure.
Post-Treatment Care and Results
After your laser hair removal session, proper care is essential to ensure the best results:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Keep the treated area out of direct sunlight and use a high-SPF sunscreen to protect your skin.
Moisturize: Use gentle moisturizers to keep the skin hydrated and reduce any redness or swelling.
Avoid Heat: Steer clear of hot showers, saunas, and vigorous exercise for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation.
Patience: Hair will gradually shed over the following weeks. Multiple sessions are required for optimal results, as hair grows in cycles.
Conclusion
Removing chest hair without pain is possible with the right approach. While shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are common methods, laser hair removal offers the most effective, long-lasting, and virtually painless solution. By understanding the process and preparing properly, you can achieve a smooth, hair-free chest with minimal discomfort.
FAQs
Is laser hair removal safe for all skin types?
Yes, modern laser technology can be adjusted to suit different skin types. However, it’s essential to consult with a professional to ensure the best settings are used for your skin type.
How many sessions of laser hair removal are needed for chest hair?
Typically, 6 to 8 sessions are required for optimal results. The exact number depends on factors like hair density and growth cycle.
Can I shave between laser hair removal sessions?
Yes, shaving is the only recommended method for hair removal between sessions. Avoid waxing or plucking as they remove the hair root.
Are there any side effects of laser hair removal?
Some temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, and mild discomfort. These usually subside within a few hours to a day.
How long do the results of laser hair removal last?
Results can last for several months to years. Many people experience a significant reduction in hair growth, needing only occasional maintenance sessions.
Embark on your journey to a smoother chest with confidence, knowing that painless and effective solutions like laser hair removal are available. For more detailed information, visit Laser Hair Removal and learn about specific options like Chest Hair Removal and Leg Hair Removal.

I'm an amab Enby and I love you and the content you make and I wonder if you might have an answer to a problem I have.
I'm one hairy mfer and I hate it. I regularly shave nearly every part of my body, but within a few days my legs are itchy and spiky again. The a day and a half of smooth legs are glorious, but I was wondering if there's something short of Laser surgery or hormones that I could do to have it be less of a problem.
Thanks!
first, check out tend skin - it’s an ointment that you put in after to help with the itchiness and redness shaving. using moisturizer after helps a lot too!
second - epilator. they are little devices that pull out hair. i haven’t tried one but they supposedly hurt like a bitch.
third - IPL, basically an at home laser device. doesn’t work as well as going to get it done but definitely helps!
fourth - waxing. waxing makes the hair thinner over time and makes it stay gone longer. waxing is tedious and difficult but worth the time. if you go to someone it can be expensive too.
fifth - nair/veet. these are hair removal creams which essentially chemically burn off the hair. it smells horrendous but it works fairly well and keeps the hair off your body longer while also making the hair thinner over time
hope this helps!

It's completely absurd that women are expected to remove leg hair. Like here, scrape this knife along your entire lower half every few days. Oh, does that give you a rash? How about pouring hot wax on your skin and then ripping it all out? Or burning it off with chemical cream that comes in a cute pink bottle? If you refuse to do this regularly for no reason at all then we will assume you are some kind of feminazi political insurgent or otherwise mentally unwell.

hot wax that is painful and can burn you
1000 dollar lasers.

A child is sitting in the woods. They are wearing what seems to have once been a long, cream colored dress, but has since been ripped to be just above knee length. The scraps are tied around their legs to make makeshift shorts. There are a few dark reddish-brown stains on their clothing, in a splotchy pattern. These stains are especially prevalent on the "pants", specifically the parts that seemed to have been the bottom of the dress. There are two slits in the back of the dress, allowing dull black wings to come through. Said wings are missing feathers, and show signs of malnutrition common in birds. The area where they join with their back is covered in tough scar tissue. Their black hair is short and uneven, seemingly haphazardly cut. It is incredibly matted and tangled, and seems to break off at the slightest disturbance. Their left arm and right side of their face are a lighter tone than the rest of them, and the skin there seems very dry and cracked, seemingly the result of chemical burns. A thin yet long scar can be seen going across their forehead in a straight line, disappearing under their hair. Their left eye is brown and slightly red, with bags under it. The right, however, does not seem natural at all, with a black sclera and glowing blue iris, although it also has bags under it. They seem incredibly malnourished, and if they were to remove their dress you could count each and every rib. They also have a few bruises in odd places, and their feet are covered in callouses and scabs. Their nails are seemingly incredibly brittle and broken, and their left pinky nail has cracked all the way down the middle, allowing blood to slowly ooze out. It is hard to gauge what age they may be, given how it's unclear how long they've gone without proper nutrition, which could have stunted their growth, but they are around four feet tall, and would likely be somewhere between thirty and forty pounds. They seem uneasy and paranoid, jumping at even the slightest sound.
They're currently leaning against a tree, looking around for any signs of anyone.

what does Cherry’s self care day look like? I really like your blog btw 🎀🤍
Sundays and Wednesdays are my major self care days. They’re both hair wash days, body scrub and foot scrub days. I really go all out in the shower.
Sundays I like to use a hair mask and keep it on for about 10 minutes. I use the Moroccan Oil Hydrating Mask. It makes my hair oh-so-smooth and shiny and I love it. I also do all my facial hair removal on Sundays. I have had a bad experience and two from salons so I do everything myself. I wax my eyebrows, side burns, upper lip, chin, I thread the areas that i need to, I use a facial razor to get all the peach fuzz off. I throw on a sheet mask and call it a day.
Some Sundays I get massaged and sit in the sauna and steam room. I have a full routine for this - sauna first for about 10-15 minutes. Then the steam room - 5 minutes in, get out, cold shower, go back in for 5 minutes, repeat about 3-4 times.
Wednesdays, I like to use a different face mask. I’m loving the Ordinary’s AHA+BHA mask. I keep it on for precisely 10 minutes because the last thing I want is a chemical burn. I follow that up with lots of soothing moisturiser.
on other days, I follow my skin regime strictly. AM: face wash, toner, vitamin c serum, pore serum, sunscreen and make up. PM: face wash, glycolic acid toner, hyaluronic serum, eye cream, moisturiser and acne scar cream.
my acne is fully gone away and my scars have almost gone away too. I think I need about 2-3 more months of the acne scar cream and I’ll finally have the glass skin I’ve always wanted.
some weeks I use a hand and feet mask. It helps my skin stay baby smooth. My hands are very dry so I need to continuously moisturise them, the mask does a great job of doing so.

This chapter is a whole lot of Bill and Ford talking and I couldn't think of a good illustration for it, so have a funny comic instead.
Here's chapter 9 of The Pines Have Captured Human Bill Cipher And Nobody Is Happy About It (otherwise known as Wasting Away Again in the Goldilocks Zone). Sept 13 2024 - now updated for TBOB compatibility!

Ford knocked on the bathroom door. "Time's up. You've had your two hours, Cipher."
There was no reply.
Ford glanced at Stan.
Stan grumbled under his breath and cracked his knuckles. "BILL!" He pounded on the door. "Either you come out of the bathroom, or we're dragging you out by your ankles!"
No reply.
"That's it," Stan snapped. Ford nodded in agreement and took a step back to cover Stan as he opened the door.
The bathroom reeked of chemically-enhanced rotten eggs. From knee-height down, every single surface in the room was plastered with curly blond hair. Behind the bath tub—naked, curled up in a ball, and hiding beneath a towel like a child—was Bill.
Stan and Ford gaped at the scene. And then they cracked up.
"Most—" Stan wheezed, "Most people just use shampoo! But hey, whatever floats your boat!"
Trying to sound stern and failing, Ford said, "I hope you plan to help clean this up."
Bill didn't reply.
Stan coughed and pounded on his chest. "Gah. Almost choked on my dentures."
"How did you do this? I know we removed the blades from the room." Ford was glad he'd put on his boots. He picked up a bottle of hair removal cream from the bath tub and tested the weight. Almost empty. "You didn't use this on your scalp, did you? It's far too caustic to use around the face."
Stan asked, "How do you know?"
"I've experimented with many shaving techniques, Stanley."
Bill didn't reply.
"Bill?" Ford's smile faded. "Did you burn yourself?" If he was burned badly enough, that was an infection risk—the last thing they needed was to haul their prisoner to a doctor...
He took another step toward Bill. Bill tightened his arms around his knees and retreated further into the corner. And still he said nothing.
####
Stan and Ford agreed that dragging Bill's naked butt out of the bathroom wouldn't do anything to help protect Gravity Falls from the horrible alien triangle menace, and also wouldn't make them feel particularly noble; so they left the door open, told Bill to get dressed and get out, Stan went back to bed, and Ford sat in the attic window seat to wait.
It took almost thirty minutes before Ford heard Bill trudging upstairs. He had dressed, thank goodness, but still had the towel draped over his head, like a Victorian widow in a mourning veil. Ford wondered if it was bad to find the sight of his obvious distress so funny, or if the fact that it was Bill made it okay.
Bill got close enough to his window seat nest to spy Ford's boots from beneath his towel, veered off to the side, and curled up in a corner of the attic.
"Well," Ford said, to say something; and then drew a blank. Finally, he said, "The next time you claim you're out of practice at a basic human task, I'll believe you."
Ford could have sworn he heard the towel-covered lump hiss like a leaky tire. Had he gotten a laugh?
The ice broken, Ford went on: "Are you injured? That stuff can burn even when used correctly. And—you did not use it correctly."
No response.
"Just—why did you—why?"
No response.
"Say something so I know I don't have to call an ambulance and tell them you're in shock." Ford did not relish the idea of explaining a mysterious woman with no ID to a hospital.
Apparently, neither did Bill, because he muttered, "I don't need medical assistance." And then, "So I didn't want hair. Baldness isn't a sin. Get off my back."
"That's a heck of a way to get rid of it."
"Yeah, wow, I guess so. I wonder why I didn't just use a razor."
"You could have... You could have asked for a shave."
Bill let out another tire-wheeze laugh. At the thought of asking for help, or at the thought that he'd have received it?
"Bill—"
"Go away."
Ford frowned; but he got up, headed downstairs, and shut the bathroom door as he passed so Bill couldn't go back in.
And a few minutes later, came back with a sandwich made out of the first odds and ends he could find in the fridge, and a six pack of hard apple cider. "Here." He set the plate and six pack on the floor near Bill. "Mrs. Ramirez hasn't touched it, I promise."
Bill didn't move, not even to see what food Ford had brought.
Ford shifted his footing nervously, his common sense insisting that he'd demonstrated all the decency he was obliged to and that it was time to go; and then he sat down again on the window seat. "Listen," he said. "Bill." (He shouldn't be doing this, he shouldn't be talking to Bill Demon-Triangle Dimension-Destroyer Cipher, eternal nemesis, ruiner of Ford's life, threatener of his family; but right now, it was hard to see Bill Cipher beneath the hurting human.) "I've—been here before. I know what it's like to—to be trapped in an alien dimension, surrounded by hostile locals, with no way home." He tried not to think about the fact that Bill was the main reason Ford had been trapped, or that Ford was now one of the hostile locals, or that the locals (and Ford especially) had a damn good reason to be hostile to Bill, or that they all didn't want Bill to get home. He was kind of curious find out where the heck he was going with this conversation. "I know what that... grief is like."
Ford thought it might be an insult to suggest Bill was capable of grief; but Bill didn't twitch. Ford went on. "I know how tempting it is to—to ignore everything but the fight ahead. Never mind hot food, shelter, showers, fresh clothes, a comfortable bed. Luxuries you can tend to when your work is done. But—a fire can't keep burning without fuel and fresh air. Depriving yourself those 'luxuries' doesn't turn you into some ascetic warrior-monk. It simply... burns you out. It makes it that much harder to achieve anything." Ford shrugged. "I—learned that the hard way."
He tried not to think about the fact that Bill had been the fight Ford had burned himself out for. Or the fact that Bill no doubt saw Ford as his fight. Or the fact that Ford didn't want Bill to achieve anything. He immediately regretted the decision to find out where he was going with this conversation. What was he doing?
Voice muffled, Bill said, "You think you're the only person who's ever had to get used to an alien dimension before?"
And Ford remembered—a moment too late—that Bill had destroyed his home. It was so easy to take that information, the horrific enormity of it, and stop there; but follow the implications one step further, and that meant Ford had never once seen Bill in his own dimension. As long as Ford had known him and billions of times longer, Bill had been a stranger in a strange land. Ford should write off this conversation as a loss and leave.
"This isn't my first rodeo," Bill said. "But hey, thanks for coming back up just to patronize me. It's really what I needed tonight."
To hell with leaving. Ford wasn't letting Bill get the last word in after he'd tried to do something nice. "This is your first time being a human in an alien dimension," Ford pointed out. "You said it yourself earlier—I've bathed hundreds of times since you last did. As an energy being, you've never had to make time for regular showers, or sleep, or exercise, or..." He almost said food but paused. He'd seen Bill eat as a triangle. Was that fun or necessity? Never mind. "You probably think those chores are beneath you—but your body needs them whether you like it or not."
Bill laughed harshly. "Wow, this is rich coming from Dr. Food Pills who bathes monthly."
"Hey! I've improved since my postdoc days and if you were half the stalker I know you are you'd know that!"
Bill didn't argue; he just changed his angle of attack and muttered, "'Eat better and bathe more,' says the guy who locked me out of the fridge and bathroom."
"I—" Well. Ford couldn't really argue with that. And he didn't regret it. "I know it's... not an ideal situation." The opportunity hung in the air for an and I'm sorry, and Ford self-consciously hurried past it. It was the thing one said in these situations, but it wasn't true. He wasn't sorry, he shouldn't be sorry, Bill was here on death row. "But I'm just trying to..." The sentence died. Why, exactly, was he trying to help Bill?
"Why would I want any help from you?" Bill's voice was venomous; and under the circumstances, Ford couldn't fault him for that. "Even if you didn't kill me and capture me! For all your talk of needing shelter and comfort when you're stuck in another dimension—you never accepted any help from me. But you think I can't take care of myself?"
Ford stared at Bill. (Not that there was much to stare at, except the top of a towel.) "I never accep—? You never offeredany help!" Not that he would have accepted it if Bill had, but just the outrageous suggestion that Bill had been—what?—charitably offering interdimensional refugee services that Ford had stubbornly turned down—?
"I never got the chance! You dove into the first wormhole you could find—you didn't even bother to say 'hi'!"
"Why would I say 'hi' after everything you—! Plus, you placed a bounty on my head! Within thirty seconds of my arrival!"
"So I got excited!" Bill uncurled just enough to shrug. "Anyway, the bounty was to bring you to me alive! C'mon, Stanford, I know you steered away from the frats in college, but you know what a little friendly hazing is, right?"
Flabbergasted, Ford echoed, "'Hazing'?" And then, even more disbelieving, "'Friendly'?"
"Sure!" One eye, almost luminescent in the shadows beneath the towel, peered over Bill's knees. As if Bill was as baffled as Ford and needed to see him for himself. "You built us a portal, you got cast out of your dimension into ours—you were gonna get a hero's welcome! You'd joined the gang! You were one of us!"
"I'd—spent weeks trying to stop you!"
"So?"
Ford gaped. Bill was a liar, he reminded himself—a liar, a manipulator, and a conman. He'd say anything to portray himself however he thought most useful. Ford remembered arriving in the Nightmare Realm. He'd relived it over and over—in hundreds, if not thousands of nightmares. "That was no welcome party. You were surrounded by an army of monsters."
"Hey, those are my pals you're talking about!" Bill laughed—a sincere, easy sound. It was unnerving, how real that laugh sounded. "Hate to point out the obvious, Sixer, but you've got a handshake that '30s Hollywood woulda designed a whole movie monster around. Who are you to judge appearances!"
Ford's thoughts flashed briefly to the Glass Shard Beach freak show he'd met as a child—the humans who'd called themselves "monsters" and who'd called Ford their "abnormal ally," the frightening friendly freaks who'd welcomed him warmly. He pushed the thought away. Bill wasn't running some kind of weirdo sanctuary; he thought making Ford think he was would win him some sympathy. "You were sitting on a throne. Made out of optical illusions. Like a self-appointed tyrant."
"Oh! You noticed my throne!" Bill's head lifted a little more. "Hey, I got that custom made! It's upholstered with the torn fabric of reality! Say, did it look three-dimensional to you? I'm told it looks 3D if you cross your eyes just right, but, well, you need two eyes to cross 'em."
"Wh—" Ford blinked, trying to remember what the throne had looked like. "Was it... not 3D?"
"No way! Do you have any idea what it'd cost to upholster a whole extra dimension in the fabric of reality? I'm not about to drop that kind of gold on a feature I wouldn't even use!" Bill grinned up at Ford. All Ford could see was the one eye and his teeth. "But hey, if you couldn't even tell the difference—I guess the autostereogram detailing was worth it!"
And Ford thought, he means it. Bill, mad thing he was, never thought that being Ford's friend and destroying Ford's universe were mutually incompatible. When he'd arrived in the Nightmare Realm, Bill hadn't been hunting him, he'd been welcoming him. Lounging on his stupid tacky throne, hanging out with his terrible friends, feigning a punch at the new guy to make him flinch before laughing and inviting him to the party. And Ford—sleep-deprived, terrified, paranoid—hadn't seen it.
And then Ford thought, he's lying. It was over thirty years ago—thirty-one, technically (time ticks ever on)—and Bill could say anything he wanted about what he would have done if he'd caught Ford, because he hadn't caught him. Today, Bill probably thought his comfort, if not his very survival, was dependent upon convincing his captors that he was so much less a threat than they thought he was. It's all a harmless misunderstanding! It was no misunderstanding and Bill wasn't harmless.
Ford got to his feet. "We remember that day very differently."
Bill's smile faded into the dark. "Yeah. Guess so." And then his eye disappeared as well as he curled in on himself and vanished under the towel. That wasn't like him. Ford had expected at least a little gaslighting.
Strange body in a strange land. And a recent death (metaphorical or literal, Ford still wasn't sure). Of course Bill was more subdued than usual.
Ford told himself not to worry about Bill. (He was unnerved that he had to tell himself.)
"Well." He gestured vaguely at the sandwich, decided against doing something nice like reminding Bill he needed to eat, and said, "Don't waste food."
He mentally chided himself as he walked downstairs. He'd been careless; he'd almost let his guard down in front of a friend who'd betrayed him. He'd been nice to Bill. He'd tried to encourage Bill to take better care of himself—when Ford was plotting to kill him, for crying out loud! Why? Because the human body made him forget this was Bill? No. Because Bill had tricked Ford into seeing him as a friend again, for just a moment, talking about parties and pals and—of all things—his stupid upholstery? Also no; that had come after Ford had offered compassion. It would have been nice if Ford could have blamed Bill. He'd like to think that he was being manipulated; it would free him from any personal culpability. But Bill hadn't done anything—except look miserable.
And that didn't line up with how Ford remembered Bill. Maybe that was what had thrown him off? But—he wasn't sure. Ford had spent thirty years with his thoughts spiraling around Bill, and now it was hard to think about Bill at all without second-guessing every thought that passed through his head. He was a recovering Cipherholic—and the fastest way to fall off the wagon was getting exposed to your addiction. He'd have to ask Stan for a reality check.
Another question gnawed at him as he kicked off his boots and climbed back into bed. When he'd been cast from his dimension, the portal was still functional, just uncharged. There was nothing Ford could do from within the Nightmare Realm to either reactivate or destroy the portal. Bill had seemed in too good a humor to have had punishment on his mind; and since Ford had been both useless and unthreatening, Bill probably hadn't wanted to recruit him for his help or eliminate him for Bill's safety.
So what had Bill wanted him for?
What had Bill wanted him for?
He'd probably just wanted to kill him. For no particular reason. For fun. Bill didn't need any other reason, Bill was insane.
Ford tried to convince himself that was true.
####
Bill had gotten careless. He almost let his guard down around a friend who'd betrayed him.
He couldn't really blame himself. He was a consummate extrovert with nobody to talk to. Captivity in and of itself was bad enough; but without his friends, he was... bored. That was the word. Bored.
But he was fine.
Bill's stomach ached. He peered at the food Ford had brought.
After a moment, he dragged over the six pack and popped out a can of cider. Nothing better to prove he was fine than some good old I'm Fine Juice.
That bathroom could be useful. He'd never be trusted in there for two hours unsupervised again, but if he mastered the art of the ten-minute shower and claimed he still needed an hour, that would give him some uninterrupted privacy. He could work a little magic in that time, even if he was limited to human capabilities. Most local female humans wore makeup, Melody probably kept hers in the bathroom; and in a pinch, there was toothpaste and shampoo; he could write with those. You could get a lot done with two mirrors, running water, a writing tool, and a human body full of blood.
Maybe he could call for help. Acquiring the supplies to get a call through to Hectorgon or Amorphous Shape would be difficult, much less calling any of his outerplanar pals; but Kryptos kept a psychic line open in dimension 46'\, if Bill got his hands on some candles he could reach him. At least, assuming Kryptos bothered to pick up the call. Bill hated the thought that his fate rested on whether or not the most annoying person in the multiverse felt like taking a call from an unknown number, but what could he do about it? If he could just reach the mindscape, this would be so much easier—
No, that wasn't quite accurate. He could reach the mindscape. He dreamed. He just... couldn't control it.
This body clamped onto his soul like an iron maiden. He couldn't just shed it like an old coat, the way he'd always effortlessly moved in and out of physical bodies before. He'd tried, curled up in the window for hours at a time, meditating silently, reaching for that point where he quietly detached from his borrowed form—but never grasping it. A couple of times the effort had exhausted him into falling asleep.
He knew his way in and out of human bodies—along with plenty of other earthling bodies and the bodies of aliens from countless dimensions. Leaving it should have been easy. There was no good reason for him to still be stuck.
But there were plenty of bad ones.
Three possibilities: thanks to the unconventional way he'd left the Theraprism, his power was still sealed away (if not removed entirely), and he was simply too weak to disentangle himself from this body's neurons; the reincarnation process had fully turned his soul from a triangle into a human; or, something about the Theraprism's machine locked souls into their new bodies. Maybe to keep the newly-rehabilitated from immediately shedding their body and returning to their old ways.
A lock that simply needed to be picked would be the best option—but with his limited powers, it was also the hardest to identify except via process of elimination. He could start by figuring out humans' own techniques for controlling their dreams and shedding their bodies and see if that helped him. (Part of him hoped it wouldn't. If it did, it would be all the more likely that he really was just a human—the worst possible option.) He was sure Ford had done some reading on astral projection at Bill's suggestion, maybe he still had those books somewhere. Bill couldn't just ask for them. Ford wouldn't trust Bill with them.
Not yet, anyway. But with time...?
Ford's little visit had been unexpectedly encouraging. He'd been a fool to ever offer Ford freedom and power instead of leaning on humans' soft spot for vulnerability. The whole woe-is-me routine was clearly working. Even if Ford had probably only pitied him because...
Under the towel, Bill's scalp burned. He could feel the alien contours of his head.
Never mind, never mind, never mind. This was all part of his strategy. This was his plan.
The point was—he thought, for just a moment, he'd gotten a glimpse again of the Ford that was his friend.
Bill could use that.
He'd keep working on Ford, softening him up. Ford had already brought food. Rookie mistake. So few humans realized that once they'd done one favor for someone, they'd set themselves up to make every favor after that a little bit easier. Bill would have Stanford Pines wrapped around his finger again in no time.
And until he'd worked his way back up to big favors, it might be nice to have someone to play chess with again. He was bored. He missed his friends.
He missed home.
He missed himself.
A lump formed in his throat.
To drown it, he popped open the first can of cider, chugged it in several large gulps, and reached for the second.

By the way, I no longer remove body hair after hair removal cream gave me an infected chemical burn and I realised how bullshit beauty standards are so now I’m a hairy feminist and people just got to deal. Between this and my annoying vegan energy, I fully expect to have given all the weak men around me heart attacks by Christmas.

Laser Hair Removal vs. Other Hair Removal Methods.
When it comes to removing unwanted hair, there are various methods available, each with its advantages and drawbacks. Among these, laser hair removal stands out for its long-term benefits. If you're considering laser hair removal in Chandigarh, it's essential to understand how it compares to other hair removal techniques. In this article, we’ll explore laser hair removal and compare it with alternative methods like shaving, waxing, and epilation, focusing on effectiveness, cost, and long-term results.
1. Shaving
Pros:
Shaving is one of the most accessible hair removal methods. It's quick, inexpensive, and can be done at home.
It works well for areas like legs, underarms, and facial hair.
Cons:
Shaving only removes hair from the surface, which means it has to be repeated frequently (every few days).
It can lead to skin irritation, razor burns, or cuts. Additionally, hair tends to grow back thicker and darker.
In contrast, laser hair removal targets the hair follicle itself, resulting in a much longer-lasting solution. The precision of laser hair removal in Chandigarh allows for smoother skin with minimal maintenance over time.
2. Waxing
Pros:
Waxing removes hair from the root, offering results that last for a few weeks.
It's effective for larger areas such as legs, arms, and the back.
Cons:
Waxing can be painful, particularly in sensitive areas.
Regular waxing can become costly, and it may lead to ingrown hairs or skin irritation.
Laser hair removal offers a more comfortable experience and significantly reduces hair growth over time. The investment in laser hair removal cost in Chandigarh can save money in the long run, as fewer sessions are needed to achieve permanent hair reduction.
3. Epilation
Pros:
Epilators pull hair from the root, similar to waxing, with results that can last for weeks.
They can be used at home and are suitable for various body areas.
Cons:
The process can be uncomfortable and even painful.
Epilation can cause ingrown hairs and skin irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin.
In comparison, laser hair removal is less likely to cause irritation, and its effects last longer. It also provides a smoother finish as it reduces the chances of ingrown hairs by targeting the hair follicle.
4. Hair Removal Creams (Depilatories)
Pros:
Hair removal creams dissolve hair at the skin's surface, making them quick and easy to use.
They can be applied at home and are generally inexpensive.
Cons:
The results are short-lived, with hair regrowth appearing within a few days.
Some creams can irritate the skin, particularly for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies.
With laser hair removal, you can avoid chemical exposure altogether. The investment in laser hair removal cost in Chandigarh pays off over time, as the need for regular treatments diminishes with each session.
5. Electrolysis
Pros:
Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method, targeting individual hair follicles with an electric current.
It can be effective for small areas, such as the face or underarms.
Cons:
Electrolysis can be time-consuming, as it targets each hair follicle individually.
The procedure can be painful, and multiple sessions are often required.
Laser hair removal can cover larger areas more efficiently and is generally considered less painful than electrolysis. Opting for laser hair removal in Chandigarh provides a more comfortable experience with faster results.
Why Choose Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal works by using concentrated light energy to target the pigment in hair follicles, destroying them to prevent future growth. Here are some key advantages that make it a popular choice:
Long-Lasting Results: Unlike shaving and hair removal creams, which only remove hair temporarily, laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction. After several sessions, many individuals experience permanent hair loss in the treated areas.
Reduced Risk of Ingrown Hairs: Shaving and waxing often cause ingrown hairs, especially in sensitive areas like the bikini line. Laser hair removal reduces the risk by targeting hair at the follicle level.
Quick and Efficient Treatments: While electrolysis targets one follicle at a time, laser hair removal can cover large areas, such as the legs or back, in a short session.
Cost-Effectiveness Over Time: Although the initial laser hair removal cost in Chandigarh may seem higher than other methods, it becomes more economical over time. Fewer sessions are required for maintenance, resulting in savings compared to regular waxing appointments.
Laser Hair Removal Cost in Chandigarh
The cost of laser hair removal in Chandigarh can vary depending on factors like the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions needed, and the clinic's reputation. On average:
Small Areas (Upper Lip, Chin): The cost may range from INR 1,500 to INR 3,000 per session.
Medium Areas (Underarms, Bikini Line): Prices may be between INR 3,000 and INR 7,000 per session.
Large Areas (Legs, Back): Sessions can cost anywhere from INR 8,000 to INR 15,000.
While it may seem like a significant upfront investment, the long-term savings and benefits far outweigh the repeated costs of other hair removal methods.
Conclusion
When comparing laser hair removal with other hair removal techniques, it's evident that laser treatment offers the most efficient and lasting results. While shaving, waxing, and epilation have their uses, they require frequent upkeep and can cause skin issues like irritation and ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal in Chandigarh provides a more convenient and long-term solution for smooth, hair-free skin.
Considering the laser hair removal cost in Chandigarh, it's a worthwhile investment for those looking to reduce the hassle of frequent hair removal. With the added benefits of precision, minimal discomfort, and fewer ingrown hairs, laser hair removal emerges as a superior choice for modern hair removal needs.

Best Men's Grooming Products: The Must-Have Essentials for Every Man
In the fast-paced world of modern life, maintaining a polished appearance is crucial for men. The right grooming products can make a significant difference, helping men look their best, feel confident, and project professionalism. In this article, we’ll explore the best men's grooming products that every man should have in his personal care arsenal. From skincare essentials to hair styling tools, we’ve got you covered.
Understanding the Importance of Grooming
Grooming is not just about looking good; it's about taking care of yourself and expressing your personality. A well-groomed man exudes confidence and attention to detail, traits that can impact personal and professional relationships. The right grooming products can help you achieve a fresh and polished look, making them essential in any man's daily routine.
Benefits of Using Quality Grooming Products
Enhanced Appearance: High-quality grooming products help enhance your features and create a polished look.
Improved Skin Health: Regular use of skincare products can lead to healthier skin, preventing issues like dryness, acne, and premature aging.
Confidence Boost: Looking your best can significantly boost your self-esteem, positively affecting your interactions with others.
Professionalism: In many situations, appearance matters. Being well-groomed can make a lasting impression in professional settings.
Essential Men's Grooming Products
To achieve the best results, it's essential to have the right products in your grooming routine. Here are the best men's grooming products that every man should consider:
1. Facial Cleanser
A good facial cleanser is the foundation of any skincare routine. It removes dirt, oil, and impurities, preparing your skin for the rest of your grooming regimen. Look for a cleanser suited to your skin type—gel cleansers are ideal for oily skin, while cream cleansers work best for dry skin.
2. Moisturizer
After cleansing, applying a moisturizer is crucial for maintaining skin hydration. Choose a lightweight formula that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. Consider using a moisturizer with SPF for added sun protection during the day.
3. Exfoliator
Exfoliating your skin a couple of times a week is essential for removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. This process can help prevent clogged pores and enhance your complexion. Opt for a gentle exfoliator with natural ingredients for the best results.
4. Beard Oil or Balm
For men with facial hair, beard oil or balm is a must-have. These products help nourish and soften facial hair, making it more manageable and preventing itchiness. Look for products with natural oils like argan or jojoba for optimal conditioning.
5. Hair Styling Products
Choosing the right hair styling products can help you achieve your desired look. Whether you prefer a matte finish or a glossy shine, options like pomade, wax, or gel can help you style your hair to perfection. Experiment with different products to find what works best for your hair type and style.
6. Shaving Cream or Gel
A quality shaving cream or gel is essential for a smooth and comfortable shave. Look for products with moisturizing ingredients to protect your skin and reduce irritation. Avoid shaving products with harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances to minimize the risk of razor burn.
7. Aftershave
Aftershave helps soothe the skin post-shave and can prevent irritation. Look for alcohol-free formulas that hydrate and nourish the skin. Some aftershaves come with a refreshing scent, leaving you feeling invigorated.
Choosing the Right Products for Your Grooming Routine
When selecting the best men's grooming products, consider your skin type, hair type, and personal preferences. Here are some tips to help you make the right choices:
1. Identify Your Skin Type
Understanding whether you have oily, dry, or combination skin is crucial when selecting grooming products. For example, oily skin may benefit from lightweight, oil-free moisturizers, while dry skin requires richer formulas.
2. Consider Your Hair Type
Just as with skin, hair type plays a significant role in determining the best styling products for you. Men with thick or curly hair may prefer heavier creams, while those with fine hair might benefit from lighter sprays or gels.
3. Research Ingredients
Opt for products with natural and beneficial ingredients. Avoid products with harsh chemicals, sulfates, or parabens, which can damage your skin and hair over time.
4. Read Reviews and Recommendations
Before purchasing any grooming product, read reviews and recommendations from other users. This can provide valuable insights into product effectiveness and suitability for your needs.
Conclusion
Investing in the best men's grooming products is essential for maintaining a polished appearance and promoting self-confidence. From effective skincare solutions to top-notch hair styling products, the right tools can elevate your grooming routine. By understanding your unique needs and preferences, you can curate a collection of products that help you look and feel your best every day. Remember, grooming is not just about appearance; it's about taking pride in yourself and expressing your individuality. Make grooming a priority, and watch how it positively impacts all areas of your life.

Smooth Skin, Zero Hassle: Why Laser Hair Removal Is the Best Choice
Tired of the endless cycles of shaving, waxing or tweezing to deal with unwanted hair? These traditional methods might provide a temporary solution but they are often accompanied by pain, irritation, frustration and not to forget, hair that returns far too quick. To cater to our busy lifestyle a long-lasting, hassle free solution for hair reduction is often what we seek. That’s where Laser Hair Removal comes in—a long-lasting solution that’s effective, safe, and convenient. But there are a lot of myths and doubts surrounding laser hair removal. Nothing to worry, Sarin Skin is here to clear your doubts and help you make the right choice. Let’s dive deep into the topic, bust some myths and find out how laser hair removal can be the game-changer you’ve been looking for.
The Drawbacks of Traditional Hair Removal
Before delving into the perks of laser hair removal, it’s important to understand the limitations of more common hair removal techniques:
Shaving: Shaving only removes hair at the surface, meaning it grows back quickly, often within days. It also leads to issues like razor burns, cuts, and ingrown hairs.
Waxing: While waxing pulls hair from the root, it’s a painful process that can burn or irritate sensitive skin and cause ingrown hairs. Plus, frequent sessions are necessary to maintain results.
Tweezing: Tweezing works for small areas, but it’s tedious, painful, and not practical for larger areas like legs or arms.
Depilatory Creams: Hair removal creams dissolve hair but only provide short-term results and can cause chemical burns or skin irritation, especially for sensitive skin types.
All these methods require constant upkeep, and none of them provide lasting results. That’s where Laser Hair removal comes in as a superior option.
Safe and Effective: Why Laser is the Superior Choice
Laser hair removal works by using concentrated light energy to target hair follicles. The laser damages the follicle, preventing it from growing new hair. Unlike waxing or shaving, which only offer temporary relief, laser treatment delivers long-term results.
Key benefits include:
Long-Term Results: Unlike shaving or waxing, laser hair removal offers long-lasting results, with less hair regrowth over time.
