Unwanted Facial Hair Removal

Men are used to shaving their face, however, women are not. Women who have unwanted facial hair may have to go another route due to sensitive skin and this can create a dilemma. Most hair removal methods are temporary and hair comes back within 24 hours. Of course, if you try anything harsher you risk burning or scarring. So, what to do?

If the hair is light you have an option to bleach it and this does work well for some and others who have dark or thick hair it's less effective. Also, if you have dark skin it may be too much of a contrast in color and lighten the skin with the hair. Another thing to remember is that you will not have a smooth hairless surface.

Another way to get rid of unwanted facial hair is by using hair removal creams also called debilatories to remove hair by the use of chemicals. You would be wise to test the product on your forearm to see how the skin responds. Make sure you read the instructions carefully and take extra precaution if the hair is coarse.

Next we have the waxing method. This is an effective and popular method of hair removal and works well on the face if done properly. In addition, the hair doesn't grow back as quickly, in fact, it may take anywhere from 3-8 weeks for hair to come back. And you have the option to use hot or cold wax applications.

In case you don't know the difference between hot and cold wax here's a brief summary. The cold wax doesn't hurt as much and is less effective, but is easier to use. The hot wax may hurt more, is more effective, and more difficult to apply.

Unwanted facial hair can be a problem, but once you find a method that works for you then you're set. You may need to experiment a bit to get to this point, however, it's worth it to have smooth silky skin isn't it?
