Facial hair is an issue to some degree for everyone. It certainly is a bigger deal for some people than others though. You have at least one errant hair, though, no matter who you are. It is just one of the facts of life.
But it you are like me, then plucking drives you insane. I cannot always see the mirror there are so many tears in my eyes! However I am timid about facial hair creams. I tried one when I was in high school and had a long red blister over my upper lip for a week. My girlstache would have been preferable to that…
Luckily hair removal treatments have progressed since high school. Used to be, they were smelly and full of harsh chemicals. Now it’s practically aromatherapy to use one. Of course, you still need to be careful.
Get the best results from facial hair removers by following these steps:
1. Do a test first. Before you smear it on your face, try it on your wrist. If you break out or feel any burning, then stop the experiment. A small dab should be enough to test with.
2. Definitely look for herbal components. To “melt” hair away, you need chemicals. Herbal extracts can help your skin recover when it has been treated with these chemicals. Facial hair removers that contain heavy moisturizers and natural ingredients tend to be easier on your skin.
3. Go for the fragrance. You probably remember the stinky stuff that you could use to remove hair on your legs. That smell was definitely chemically based. Now you can eliminate the odor or at least mask it with fragrance. This can save you a severe allergic reaction – and a strange sneeze splatter! Select the scented stuff unless you can’t stand any type of artificial fragrance.
4. Move slowly. Once you decide to put the cream on your face, take it slow. Begin with the eyebrow area. It is not nearly as sensitive as the upper lip area. If your brows go without a hitch, then you can move on to the lip or chin areas.
