Nose hair

dragonfly I was horrified looking into a magnifying mirror the other day to see that I have nose hair that rivals that of my husband

So (in a bit of a panic) I waxed just into my nostrils using facial waxing strips - ouch but worth it.

I think the damn things grow back quickly much like other facial hair.

Ouch Grannyknot that sounds painful.

Ouch indeed Grannyknot that must have been painful.
It seems to be a sad fact of life that whilst the hair on my head is getting thinner the rest of my facial hair grows in abundance. Must be careful not to get my caffeine shampoo on my face

I think I need to put my glasses on and have a squint up my nostrils.
I bet I find something awful!

We need nose hair to filter the air we breathe. the hairs at the entrance to nostrils that people can see at a casual glance are the problem.

Recommended: a disposable razor one end of which carefully inserted into the outer millimetre of each nostril and very slowly rotated .Daily. (Mild baby shampoo and water is a good lubrication) Best to change the razor really frequently as the sharper the safer, also keep razor well rinsed and dried.

Alexa, I didn't realise you were here too

There is NO WAY that I am putting a razor anywhere near my nostrils!

I use one of these. The end is small enough to do a sweep around the nostril opening.
mini trimmer

Hair removing cream such as Veet Sensitive does the job.

I've had them for years and just pluck out the protruding ones with tweezers now and again.
I don't think other people notice them, unless they're small people, looking up. Like grandchildren .

I think the optician notices really bad ones

But I don't care

Glasses
I wear glasses for reading and I'm always taking them on and off and losing them! I have now been prescribed glasses for watching TV and driving. Does this problem just get worse as you age? Will I end up needing to wear glasses full time? I really don't want to wear them all the time.

I wear contacts. One eye is for reading and one for distance. My brain adjusts so I have perfect sight.
