I’ve always wondered why some of my past boyfriends had smoother legs than me…the answer…I have a GUILTY PLEASURE for soccer players and apparently they shave their legs for several “reasons”:

• When you have smooth legs it is less painful when removing bandages (bc we all know that boys do not have high pain tolerances)
• When you are hairless it tends to show off muscle definition better (TYPICAL!)
• Having shaved legs makes you feel “faster”

With the FIFA WORLD CUP 2010 taking over the world one game at a time, I find myself trying to see who is smooth and who is not…

Ladies, what do you think? Would you date a man with smoother legs than you…??

What if it was England’s co- coach David Beckham, USA’s captain Carlos Bocanegra or Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo????

David Beckham

Carlos Bocanegra

Cristiano Ronaldo

YES PLEASE!!!!!!

Hey, here’s a question from one our Facebook fans that pops up a lot, so wanted to blog about it:

Good morning Cindy, I have a couple of questions… Does laser hair removal work on all skin and hair types? I am an African American female tired of getting ingrown hair and it doesn’t mater what type of hair removal I use. Will this system remove the hair permanently? Also I heard that with darker skin you have to be much more careful. Thanks Dawn.

Hi Dawn, thanks for reaching out. Hair removal works on all skin types, except for when the hair is lighter than the skin tone. If you are African American you need to go to a hair removal specialist for darker skin to ensure that they are using a specific machine and parameters. The specialist should depict darker skin as a 5 or 6 on the Fitzpatrick skin scale. Have them do a test patch to make sure you don’t have any contraindications. Before you do this, make sure you’re not tanned, you don’t have any oil or moisture on your skin and you are not taking any light sensitive medications. Also, just so you know, darker skin will need more treatments than the standard 6 treatments for lighter skin. You would need 10-12 depending on the area. As for the problem with ingrown hair, laser hair removal is the only method that solves this problem.

At CB we have hair removal specialists that safely and effectively treat all skin types including skin type 5 and 6.
