What do you do to avoid the bearded lady thing? I'm Celtic pasty skinned and now growing a downy beard, tashe and jowls. Very pale fine hair but very evident in harsh light. Can't do waxing as skin too sensitive. Do those v expensive laser gizmos I've seen in Boots work? Currently using a JML thing I bought in Asda which basically just trims off the fuzz. Not sure this is best idea for it.

I use MeMy Elos - absolutely brilliant. It actually works even if you only shave the hairs, which I do on my under arms, although it takes longer. I have a mix of light and dark hairs and it seems to inhibit growth even of the downy fair ones, though does work better on dark ones. One of the best things about it, is that it stops razor burn and soreness on my underarms. Its the first time I've been able to expose my underarms to the world!

For those of you with sensitive skins try aloe Vera gel after waxing or threading to cool down the redness.

once a month I have a face wax, basically my lovely lady will go over my face with a fine tooth comb and wax away anything that shouldnt be there, also does my eyebrows..cost £16 and well worth it.

Case of lit magnifying beauty mirror and tweezers every couple days about every 6 weeks I wax but am beautician so guess easier for me.

One of my ladies has huge problem a d she will shave chin so I a not wax it now, silly as stubble does look ??

another lady only had fine hair and facial bleach worked wonders we all different t but is unusual. To to develop facial hair as we age cruel of nature ?
