But here’s the reality: Plant-based and vegan diets are not actually synonymous. While vegan diets are generally plant-based, plant-based diets are not, by definition vegan.

What’s more, psyllium is ridiculously healthy, too, given its sky-high fiber content, which is why some people use psyllium husk powder as a dietary supplement to promote regularity, balance blood sugar, and lower cholesterol.

Ahead, find everything you need to know for an easy, smooth glide. Razor bumps and ingrowns happen when that free edge of hair becomes trapped within the skin, so it curls downward and grows back into the skin instead—resulting in sore, inflamed, pimple-like spots. Those with coarser hair are more likely to get ingrowns, but “it is also more likely to happen if there is skin covering where the hair is growing,” says board-certified dermatologist Hadley King, M....

(But don’t rush them—Taureans move at a slow, steady pace, unlike the fast-and-furious Aries who come before them in the zodiac.)
