The bearded lady

What now?

I used to use Veet or somesuch on my upper lip but was finding I had to leave it on longer and longer, and my skin took ages to calm down afterwards.

Sorry, I thought you were bound to be rude about my two faces!

Huh! I wasn't being rude about chins either, I just said you wouldn't want two of them...

It's a good job I know you of old, Lona or I could be seriously hurt and despondent!

Chin chin!

I love this thread! I have just one hair on my chin! It makes up , a bit, for my appalling blue foot, for which there is no remedy! And those of you wondering about your beard when you are old and incapable, ask yourself who would administer the medication, two or three times per week, if you had vaginitis!

Before using Veet on your face, read these Amazon reviews of Veet by men who forgot to read the instructions. www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B000KKNQBK

This has been posted before on the forum, but new members may have missed the fun.

I tried a hair removal cream on my upper lip and chin last week. Never again for me either, Lona! I ended up with 2 little spots on my upper lip and another one on my chin ( I discovered that one while chatting at the Edinburgh meet up on Sunday) ! Haven't had spots since my teens. So it's back to my Epilady again, now.

Elegran I have never read that before and I found it so funny. I do not think that I would apply it to my lower and nether regions.

The link to that was going the rounds about a year ago. The reviewers must have had a great time doing all that "creative writing". I wonder whether it sent sales of "Veet for Men" away down or had so many viewers that the publicity helped put sales up

So funny.....laugh out loud stuff.

This is even cheaper, 99p and no postage.

But it sounds excruciating. No doubt at some point soon I shan't care.

That looks a real instrument of torture

Having dark hair, I always felt that I had a slight upper lip shadow and used Jolen bleach to disguise it. However, around the menopause I became aware that the hair was increasing and becoming coarser and I had several long hairs on my chin. I tried waxing, tweezing and a little sandpaper type block which I don't think is available now. 8 years ago I began having electrolysis on the advice of a friend and I now have hardly any hair at all. My daughter has promised me that if I end up in care home she will make sure that she brings tweezers each time she visits!

I don't have a problem with chin hair (yet) but there is something odd going on with my eyebrows. Every so often I find a VERY long hair smack between my eyes and another, much coarser, one in the middle of my right eyebrow.

They appear to sprout to great lengths overnight. I'll have to try to remember to check my face in a magnifying mirror before leaving the house.

My hair can be described as a silvery white but my eyebrows are still brown. When I went for eyebrow and lip threading a couple of weeks ago I was offered dyeing of my eyebrows. I enquired the colour and was told brown! Perhaps she needs a trip to Specsavers.

kittylester I have worried about that as well. It's a far worse prospect than a few hairs on the chin. I doubt if a basic care assistant would be allowed to do that.

Veet etc really irritates my skin. I am afraid I doubt if many of these gadgets would really work effectively, it's hard to see what you are doing when it's on your own face.

Not if you use a mirror, Nelliemoser!

Oh thank goodness kittylester! I thought it was some weird kind of disease where hairs grew inside and needed plucking!

You do meet such new and exciting diseases on this board.

I am beginning to think I have inherited my father's bushy eyebrows and now there are white hairs infiltrating the brownish ones. Should I take the risk of having them dyed?

Charleygirl, I don't understand your post. What colour did you think would be best for your eyebrows?

Ana I did not want or need my eyebrows dyed- this to me was a silly comment by the very young beautician.

Oh I see! Sorry, I misunderstood, not sure how...

Just ordered one off ebay for 3 50 p &p free
