The Kardashians certainly never shy away from sharing every detail of their lives with the world, and Khloé’s latest revelation to People magazine, as reported by the Daily Mail, is a lot of information.

Khloé revealed that “momager” Kris Jenner forced her to get her armpits waxed when she was only 13. Eek!

“I remember when I was like 13 years old, my mom made me get a facial for the first time,” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star told the magazine. “I guess I’d started growing hair under my arms [at the time], so during the facial she had someone wax my underarms. But she didn’t warn me! I was like ‘What is happening!’”

She added, “It was so traumatizing. I remember being terrified, and I didn’t want a facial for years because I thought that was part of it.”

Not warning a young girl (or anyone, really) she’s about to have wax slathered on her body and her hairs ripped out seems pretty harsh.

But is 13 too young for hair removal, anyway? Not necessarily, says Manhattan dermatologist Dr. Jody Levine. “I think as soon as a young girl sees hair that she is self-conscious about and she is responsible enough to shave properly, is the right time to start. Most females, by the age of 8 or 9, are pretty mature, and it is certainly not fun to be self-conscious about hair under your arms.”

As for waxing, “if done properly and gently, I feel that the age is similar,” the doctor explains. “It is a matter of personal preference, weighing in issues such as convenience, cost, and pain. A 13-year-old girl can do either, but I personally feel that waxing under the armpits is painful, and I would prefer that my 13-year-old start with shaving.”

The doctor did issue one stern warning, however. “Waxing hair on the face is another story, as young girls’ skin is particularly sensitive, and one must be very careful about ripping off skin.”
