Derma planning - wands are from shaver shop

Lazer treatment is probably the option to pursue if you have dark of long facial hair growth and are seeking a more permanent solution!

I pluck mine

Nads seems to work quite well, otherwise whilst it hurts, tweezers

I guess it's not a "product" but procedure...I would do it by laser. The coarser the hair, the better it works - it might take 6 or 7 goes - but the hair never grows back. In between treatments, you can use depilatory cream, but don't wax in between treatments as the laser works on the root....

I think that Olay smooth finish is one of the best I have used

Hair removal creams are usually good or you could try Laser hair removal?

After purchasing several facial hair removals, there are none that actually worked as it's advertised. None of those products are really reliable. Best is to consult an expertise store to do it

I believe with facial hair it is better to get it seen and dealt with by a professional. No one in theory really wants to damage their face, that way if a professional does it and it goes wrong then you get to blame them and make them fix it. If you do it yourself and are new to it and end up hurting yourself by doing it wrong then you only have yourself to blame and have to then go see a professional hair remover person to do it.

Some great advice shared, I pluck as i found laser or IPL hurt to much, I'm a sook. Must try waxing.

Why don't you try threading? It's an ancient Indian method of removing a line of hair at once. It's not very painful (of course, you'll feel it the first time, but it gets better with every visit). It's also proven to reduce the rate of hair growth for almost 3 weeks to a month! It should not cost you a lot, prolly about 7-10 bucks for the eyebrows and upper lips, so the price for a facial threading should not exceed 15 bucks. Agreed it's not a 'product' per say, but it's a good, cheap alternative to the more expensive options like laser.

Try IPL. worked for me!! It's a bit expensive though because you have to go for a few sessions.

What about going into a salon that does facial threading? Threading is more gentle on the skin and the effect is the same as waxing. They remove the hair right from the root, so the result is more lasting. Apparently if you do it regularly, the hair just stops growing.
Or try products like facial wax or hair breach for sensitive skin if you rather DIY at home. They are available at the pharmacy or supermarket. :)

a product that actually works is the "NO!NO!". similar to IPL but instead of light it uses heat so regardless of hair color or skin tone it will work. of course naturally, time and consistency depends on genetics etc.
here's the link to the product website: http://www.no-no.com.au/
hope i helped! ^___^

shaving makes the hair grow even more thicker and coarse.
lilly
depilatory cream is better than shaving with razor blade it is more smoother. shaving is not good it makes the hair on your chin grow thicker.
ritu
try the facial hair cream from avon

You can try face threading. It is similar to waxing but gentler to the skin, and it get rids of the hair from the root, so the facial hair won't grow back so fast. I think there are products or the market , such as the Epi Stick Facial Hair Removal Tools, or alternatively, you can try to look for salons that offer face threading ( I think they are usually done by Indians or Chinese). :) Good luck

Remove unwanted hair is easy to make and use every week. Squeeze 10 ml lemon juice into 40 ml honey and prepare a mixture. Take a cotton swab and rub this mixture in the direction of the hair growth. Rinse after 15 minutes. Repeat twice a week for 2 weeks and then use it every week to find an improvement in the facial hair condition.

Sorry if this sounds insensitive - I know facial hair can be a very embarrassing and private thing for women, but..
Maybe ou should look into why you are having problems with facial hair as well as methods for removing it? Sometimes hormonal changes and imbalances can make facial hair grow. If it is a problem that is having a negative affect on your life, and it grows back quickly, you might want to think about going to your GP or seeing an endocrinologist. Many women when they go through menopause they find facial hair can be a problem, but facial hair can also indicate polycystic ovaries and other medical conditions...
trinketz
androstenedione is another hormone which is responsible or excess hair in women - such as chest hair, and facial hair. Many doctors do not check for this level (GPs that is - endocrinologists generally test for this).
trinketz
If it has always been like that (or at least post puberty), then it is probably normal - but if you have noticed any changes recently, like excess hair, or hair loss, or other things, like changes in your cycle (period pain, periods not regular, or the number of days in your cycle changing/not consistent), or even a constant dull ache or pain in your mid back, then it could very well be an imbalance in oestrogen, testosterone, free testosterone, progesterone, etc. As you age your hormone levels change, so it could just be changes related to age. For some women having a lot of hair is genetic.
If you're worried about it, go see your GP and they can test hormone levels.
I should stress that I'm not a doctor! However, a few friends have experienced excess hair growth due to imbalances. If it is something that really bothers/worries you, and is something that is a recent issue, then there is no harm in getting it checked out.

Hi trinket,
Just wondering I am (43) & wondering do you think it is possibly a hormone in balance with age & possibly there might be something on the market to fix it. I basically pluck my eyebrows every day & have to wax my forehead where my baby hairs are becoming thick, but I don't want to lose my hair on top,
Regards

I use Nair and good old fashioned tweezers
Love
great beauty therapist will solve everything! Ella Rouge i've found to be amazing and not expensive!
Maggie
Hi! I can tell u what I do-I use only tweezers. I trust only them, I tried some wax, bleaching etc- nothing can help me. So- every couple of days I check the condition of my face and just pull out the "ENEMIES"
Cheers
Maggie

yes totaly agree that waxing is by far the best way...

the hair on my chin grows so quickly and i am embarased and i shave it off every second or third day
i dont want to wait until it grows to a length to use wax
i suppose that is the vainess of a woman
what else can i do
Anonymous
The hair is showing again so quickly as depilatory cream just knocks the top off the hair (just like shaving) instead of removing it at the root. You will have much better and longer-lasting results by waxing instead, and after a while growth will slow and thin as the constant pulling out will start damaging the roots.
Miss Prim
I recommend having the wax treatment by a qualified beautician as they do a professional job and the hair takes much longer to grow back. I have been having professional waxing done on my legs since leaving school and now the hairs are sparse and I now use a depilatory cream which does the job. Hairs on my face only appeared as menopause came on the scene and I treat it with cream which works fine as the hairs and not thick.

bleaching just seems to show up that youre worried about hair-it still shows up. Dont ever resort to shaving as this is a dead set way to lose the battle. Laser treatments are good but sore and expensive. Tweezers are time consuming but still the best non evasive answer

hi i think you should pluck the hair it will make it finer and you wont be able to notice it thanks
Anonymous
The hair starts showing almost on day 2 after using depilatory cream-not finding it very usefull and the thicker hair 'survives' the cream.So what's the point?
Looking for something better myself

Unfortunately Jessie you are going to see stubble by shaving. If you need to do it every 2nd or 3rd day, would it be possible to "hide" for maybe 4 or 5 days until it is long enough to pluck or wax? I know you'd be a lot happier with the look if you waxed as shaving always looks so obvious to me when I see ladies who shave. Even depilatory cream would be better for you than shaving. I actually wax and pluck in between before needing to wax again and then you don't get that sharp stubble growth. I do both my top lip and chin even though mine is blonde.
Wen
Your best bet is find a good beauty therapist. i go once a month for the lip and chin hair removal and only after a couple goes the hair growth is retarded
hails
you can make homemade wax
2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup lemon juice
boil all ingredient for 10 mins let it cool to right temp.

bigred

hails
put it in microwave for 20 seconds
test it 1st make sure its not too hot
Anonymous
So when it's been in the fridge,does it have to be heated up again to be used?
How hot to be used?
jazlovestoskate
there are tons of products on the market today aimed at hair removal, waxing is probably the one that out of all ways to remove hair, lasts for longer. other options include plucking, shaving and cream hair removal products like Nads or Nair that you apply, wait about 15 minutes and then wipe off (along with all the hair). alternatively you could also try bleaching, which makes the hair practically invisible and only requires a touch up every few weeks-months
Smita
You could also try diode laser treatment. It really works. I had similar problems and I went for 5 sessions after which unwanted hair growth is like vanished. Now it is almost 1 year and i have done no plucking, shaving or waxing. It is painless too. The amount u spend on salon solution can be spent on this permanent solution
Anonymous
I would be very careful about bleaching and only have it done by a professional. My beauty therapist actually advised against it, as it can often make the hair more noticeable instead of invisible. Waxing is a cost effective and longer-lasting treatment, but whatever you decide make sure you go to a professional - it's hard to hide your face if you mess it up!
rubyred975
You can get facial bleach at the supermarket or chemist or priceline. Look for it near the waxing products. The other alternative is to go and get laser treatment.
milly
