For many of us, acne is a phase: Aggravating, sure, but once puberty comes to an end and our hormones settle down, our faces mostly clear right up. Not everyone is so fortunate, though, and while their teenage years may be long behind them, the same old...
Excessively bushy eyebrows can be troublesome, sure, but at least they provide something to work with; a carving stone to sculpt as you so choose. For those with thin eyebrows — or God forbid, no eyebrows at all — their options are much less straightforward, and not...
