      Khloé Kardashian reveals skin cancer scare, has tumour removed from her face

      Khloé Kardashian has opened up about her recent skin cancer scare.
      Sharing a series of Instagram stories and photos, the 38-year-old shared with her fans the story behind the “ever-evolving” bandage on her face.
      The reality star revealed that she had to have a tumour removed from her face after noticing a “bump” that wouldn’t seem to go away even after seven months.
      While she assumed it was “something as minor as a zit”, it wasn’t “budging”, Kardashian decided to get it biopsied.
      Following her biopsy, the star was told she needed to have “an immediate operation to remove a tumour from my face”.

      “I called none other than Dr Garth Fischer, a dear friend of my family’s and one of the best surgeons in Beverly Hills who I knew would take incredible care of my face,” she explained. “I’m grateful to share that Dr Fischer was able to get everything – all my margins appear clear and now we are onto the healing process.”
      Kardashian added that her fans will continue to see her with bandages on her face until she’s allowed to take them off and then “you’ll probably see a scar (and an indention [sic] in my cheek from the tumour being removed)”.
      Kardashian had been seen sporting a bandage on her face during Paris and Milan Fashion Week, leading some fans to ask what had happened.
      This prompted Kardashian to discuss the operation to raise awareness about skin cancer to “remind everyone to get checked, and frequently”.

      It’s not the first time Kardashian has had a scare. At 19, she had melanoma on her back, which she had removed at the time, so she highlighted she is “pre-composed to melanomas”.
      Melanoma is the 17th most common cancer worldwide, according to the World Cancer Research Fund, and a celebrity like Kardashian talking about their experience only helps to raise awareness.

      5 inspiring celebrities embracing their vitiligo

      by

      Lifestyle

      2 hours ago

      Proving that vitiligo is no barrier to success, several celebrities have broken the shackles against it.
      The condition is caused due to lack of melanin resulting in skin pigment. While some treatments have been developed, there’s no long-term solution.
      Affecting approximately 70 million people worldwide, many celebrities are known to have the condition.
      However, instead of trying to hide the condition, they proudly embrace it, becoming inspirations for many around the globe.
      Salama Mohammed

      One of the most vocal high-profile personalities to embrace her vitiligo is Emirati content creator Salama Mohamed. In a previous interview with Emirates Woman, she admitted it was difficult growing up with the condition. “It was a struggle growing up, when you feel you are different and don’t fit in it is easier to think there is something wrong with you,” she admitted. But today, she embraces her vitiligo “every inch” of her being, and even has the words “Blessed with vitiligo” in her Instagram bio. Through her journey, she was motivated to launch her own skincare brand, Peacefull.
      Winnie Harlow

      Winnie Harlow rose to stardom after appearing on America’s Next Top Model in 2014. As a strong advocate for breaking down conventional beauty standards, Harlow has used her platform to raise awareness for skin positivity. Having appeared in campaigns for big labels such as Nike, Victoria’s Secret, Marc Jacobs and more, she has broken the boundaries surrounding vitiligo. The supermodel was diagnosed with this chronic skin condition at the age of four and ever since a young age has been vocal about how this shouldn’t define her.
      Karen Wazen

      Content creator and Dubai-based entrepreneur Karen Wazen shared her journey with vitiligo back in June 2021. Opening up about her experience and her diagnosis, the mum-of-three encouraged everyone to accept themselves for who they are. “Accepting ourselves and bodies and differences is the biggest strength we can have, once we are in this state of mind nothing will affect the way we see ourselves,” she said.
      Shahad Salman

      Saudi fashion model Shahad Salman is breaking barriers in the modelling industry. The 25-year-old model embraces her vitiligo and continues to be motivated by her ambition to succeed in the industry. Born to challenge stereotypes, the model projects self-confidence in every project she takes on, including her latest role as an ambassador for Pantene.
      Holly Marie Combs

      Best known for her role in Pretty Little Liars, Holly Marie Combs has vitiligo, a condition that she has been open about over the years.

      Let’s Talk About How To Really Hydrate Your Skin

      by

      Is your skin not giving glow, plump, hydrated fabulousness? It might be because you’re struggling with a parched complexion. If so, it might not be the amount of product you apply but rather the type you’re using.
      Yes, turns out dehydrated skin and dry skin aren’t the same thing, although at first glance they may appear to be. Here’s what you need to know about hydration and how to really hydrate skin.
      What’s The Diff?
      Listen/read carefully: dehydrated skin needs water and lacks hydration and hydrating products. Whereas dry skin lacks oil and needs to be moisturised with moisturising products. How to tell if your skin needs moisture or hydration? Dry skin can be flaky, rough and dull. Dehydrated skin cells sort of shrink up, causing the skin to look deflated and lifeless.
      To Moisturise or Hydrate Skin
      So let’s clear this up. Moisturising ingredients lubricate the skin to prevent water from escaping. Ingredients such as: shea butter, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil and ceramides.
      While hydrating ingredients in skin care products attract water to the outermost layer of the skin. Hydrating ingredients include: hyaluronic acid, glycerin, fatty acids, amino acids and peptides.
      Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, here’s the brilliant news: It’s quite easy to keep your skin supple and glowly.

      To uplift your mood, the Blended Spa offers a host of rejuvenating treatments in a serene environment. With four treatment rooms, guests can enjoy an organic facial, massage, salt therapy, scrub or wrap in the hands of well-equipped experts. For after-care services, luxe facilities such as the salt cave, sauna and plunge pool are open for use to feel at ease during any visit.
      To recover from within, meditation is given a new meaning by internationally trained life coaches, therapists and spiritual guides who explore the options of both couples and one-on-one sessions, to feel clear from the inside out.

      If you want to focus on your fitness goals, this professional environment offers personal training sessions and group classes for workouts such as yoga, Pilates, or spinning. By changing the norm from a one-size-fits-all approach, guests can choose a routine that best fits their health needs.

      For a post-workout recovery mode, customers can replenish their fuel with a juice, coffee or protein shake from the Blended juice bar, to ensure every aspect of all the fitness routines is taken care of.
      With a complete approach to any wellness needs, visitors can feel at home from the second they enter this haven. Without having to book appointments in different locations, this all-inclusive experience saves both time and planning.
