Kim Kardashian Graces Cover of Allure's August Issue

Introducing The Cover Star of Allure's August Issue, Kim Kardashian

A couple of months ago, Kardashian launched SKKN by Kim, a nine-step skin-care line. While nine steps may seem excessive, she says each is necessary: “I wanted to create a line based on exactly what I really do. I don‘t use all of it every day, but you have to have everything for a complete routine.” Last year, the mother of four also passed the California first-year law students’ exam (a.k.a. the baby bar). She plans to get her law degree.

"I’m at peace with not being perfect and I wasn’t like that before. I hate my hands — they’re wrinkly and gross. But I’ve lived life and I’ve changed so many diapers with these hands and I’ve snuggled my babies with these hands, so I’m okay with them. [Getting older] doesn’t mean that I won’t strive for perfection, but you get to a point where you’re like, ‘Okay, my health is more important than anything else."
