Before & Laughter

Product Information

I really loved the fact that this book wasn’t a standard autobiography; the mix between biography and self-help book was both strange and awesome, and to be honest, I wouldn’t expect anything other than strange and awesome from Jimmy Carr.

Plastic surgeon Shafer tells Bazaar there are actually two types of laugh lines: nasolabial creases and nasolabial folds. The nasolabial crease is the line you see between the upper lip and cheek, while the fold is described as tissue that hangs over the crease. Both types can develop over time due to aging and lifestyle factors. Since gentle exfoliation can make a major difference in the overall smoothness of your skin, Bae encourages the regular use of cleansers featuring physical or chemical exfoliants, or topical alpha hydroxy acid products.
