I use Nair Facial Hair remover. It comes with a small soft brush/applicator.I apply , leave for 5 minutes, wipe off with a tissue and rinse with warm water.I do it every Sunday morning, really works a treat.
Shysal..thanks for that . I thought at almost £200 it would be decent . My sister got one and then was diagnosed with cancer and unable to use it and I was awaiting a report from her.
My Mum used to bleach hers with hydrogen peroxide, but stopped when it seemed to be affecting her sense of smell. After her stroke I used to tweeze them for her. I have quite a few and tweeze them.
Whiskers grow sporadically on my upper lip, and I can feel them before I can see them. So I poke them about and make the place red. If I left them alone, you wouldn't be able to see anything.
Some whiskers are black (also some hairs - all of which are tweezed out with the help of a magnifiying mirror at the window, where the light is best). Others are white and like bits of wire. Also pulled out with tweezers, but are like daisy roots, have to be careful they don't break off.
Nanabilly, I have heard many comments that the Nono is rubbish. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
I shave the soft hairs on upper lip and chin daily, but it doesn't remove the strong bristly ones. I use a magnifying mirror, halogen desk lamp and tweezers every few days for those. I tend to stroke my chin with the back of my forefinger to let me know when the time is right!
I have mine waxed every few weeks £12 (have eyebrows done at the same time wax and tint £17) and they do lessen over time and are lighter than they were.
I keep saying I am going to buy a mono ..anyone tried one ? Not very cheap so looking for reviews. At the moment I pluck chin and use veet facial cream on the tash if I'm going somewhere special ..can't stand the smell of it too often.
I've got a gizmo called Epistick, which cost me all of 80p from Amazon (postage included). It gets mixed reviews but I love it, so I'd say it was worth a try.
I've discovered this week that the vanity mirror in the car is much less forgiving than my bathroom one and shows up every trailing little chin hair. As DH was driving along yesterday I was merrily plucking away with a pair of tweezers I found in the glove compartment. When I asked why they were there, he said he'd bought them to pluck his ear hair. Do you think maybe our honeymoon period is over?
I had laser treatment about 15 years ago and it was fine for a while then it started growing back I get cream from my GP now its called Vaniqua and you can only get it on prescription ,doesn't stop growth but makes it easier to manage .I left my skin in a terrible state using hair removal creams so I couldn't do any more laser .I suppose I could try again now but I'd already spent a couple of thousands on it without a lasting result
I have been having electrolysis off and on for over 30 years. Yes, it is painful, but it does the job. I limit sessions to 10 minutes and will ask the beautician to pause. I now need treatment only 4 or 5 times a year.
Were it not for electrolysis. i would be one of those sad old bearded women one remembers from ones youth.
Those nasty bristle'y hairs we get when we're older, how does everhone deal with them? I tried electrolysis but that was painful and in any case with the amount of hair now sprouting in my mid 60s seem futile. Threading was very painful. Waxing is painful but only for a second or two, but i was put off doing that in the longterm as the beautician said it takes skin with it. Shaving makes the hair even bristlier (is that a word?). I am back to plucking.
