Facial hair - beginning to look like Rasputin!!

#my youth! And#shaves spray can we pleeeeeas have an editing tool?!?!?

I’m a fan of epilators too. They get rid of all that peach fuzz as well as any longer straggly hairs. Mine also has a very gentle shaver attachment but I’ve only tried it out once.

Poppyred

I use veet sensitive for nostrils and upper lip area - both very effective. Tweezers for chin hair - but that’s getting too much now, so I’m going for electrolosis. Lazer treatment is not permanent- I’ve been told and does not get rid of white hair.

How lucky you are! Veet senitive removes the skin on my upper lip, leaving the hairs intact! And even using a magnifying mirroir I cannot see well enough to tweeze my eyebrows, although as yet I can still tweeze my chin.

I shall just have to put up with steadily becoming hairer, as I cannot afford the prices beauty palours charge for waxing or other methods of hair removal.

I shave my moustache but it always looks as if I have one as I had very dark hair when younger. I tweeze thicker hairs from chin and under chin area. Strangely enough, I find I can see them best when looking in the car mirror! I use Boots Smooth Care Hair Lightener on the finer hairs on my face and this is very effective at changing the colour to white, and I think also the hair grows not so thickly. I used to have hairy hands as well, but now just my fingers up to the first joint. I come from a hairy family - my mum had facial hair and my Dad (and now my sons) had very thick body hair. Husband is very hairy too. He says he has lots of hair, but it's all slipped down as he is now very thin on top.
I am always amazed going to swimming venues and seeing men with completely hairless chests and limbs.

Shaving is best ….also takes of layer of dead skin cells. Brilliant!

Also I swim a lot ….so everything gets shaved …. Especially legs.

Shaving leaves stubble, just passable on legs, but on your (my) face? Yuk, no way.

Tweezing and using an epilator weakens hair growth over time. I P L is better for more permanent removal and, although not instant, works fairly quickly especially for me on my legs. However it only works on dark hair so I’ve already missed the window of opportunity on some on my chin.

When I first saw this, I was very sceptical. But it works, it really works. I used it everywhere this morning and I’m smooth all over. Cheap, painless and it works.

Ah Monica, I have no stubble after my morning shave for hours ?

Has anyone had dermaplaning? It’s quite a new treatment and it’s brilliant. Mu daughter has a salon and she does it. It leaves your face like a baby’s bottom with no chemicals, lotions or electronic equipment. It’s done with a disposable scalpel type tool which is gently scraped over your face (I can’t think of a better word, sounds horrible!) I’ve had it done and it’s brilliant and not overly expensive. Totally painless too. I was amazed at the fuzz that came off of my face and I didn’t think I was very hairy.

The worse thing is when you have been out somewhere special thinking you’re all groomed and looking ok then you come home and look in the mirror in a different light & notice you have some really obvious dark hairs sprouting on your chin for all to see! That always makes me cringe! They seem to appear from nowhere at times.

I have used immac and veto in the past and shaved my legs but the re growth is very thick and stubbly. I know have my face and legs waxed - usually every 2-3 weeks as the regrowth is much finer and no harsh stubble. Think I’ll stick with this for now. I’m afraid the idea of shaving my face really isn’t something I fancy, but I do worry about when Im old and senile! Ps. Underarms are shaved too, tried waxing once but found it too painful!

I started having threading as I had very fine light hairs on either side of my face. However I think it has made things worse. I now have to go regularly and I hate it! Sitting in a chair with other people around makes me cringe. Last time I went the beautician said out loud "Wow, that hair is really long, lucky it is light coloured!" Of course everyone turned to look at the bearded lady!

That was rather unprofessional of the threader Grannyroat least with waxing you are usually in a private room. I don’t like the way they do threading in the middle of stores where people are walking through or the way they appear to hold the thread in or near their mouth. Never had it done myself though so I can’t comment on the effectiveness.

My local beautician always does my threading in a private room. I'd never get it done in those places in the middle of shopping centres etc where you're surrounded by other people.
