Facial hair is, on some level, a problem for everyone. I will admit it 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.
If you are like me, then plucking makes you crazy. I cannot even see the mirror through the tears in my eyes! But I’m intimidated by facial hair creams. The only result I got from them in high school was a huge blister on my upper lip. To be honest I probably would have preferred the girlstache…
Thank goodness hair removal creams have changed since high school They used to be smelly and full of harsh chemicals. Now most of them smell like a delightful aromatherapy treatment. 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. Apply the cream to your wrist before you smear it on your face. If you feel burning or develop a rash, then you will know not to continue. A very small glob should be enough to test with.
2. Definitely look for herbal components. You will need chemicals to melt hair away. However, herbal extracts will help your skin recover from this attack. Facial hair removal will go more smoothly if the product has a heavy moisturizer and natural ingredients.
3. Pick something with a fragrance. You probably remember the stinky stuff that you could use to remove hair on your legs. The strong smell was caused by harsh chemicals. 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! Opt for the scent unless you cannot handle any type of artificial fragrance.
4. Do not do your entire face at once. Take it slow with putting the cream on your face. Start with the eyebrow area. It is definitely less sensitive than the upper lip area. If you have no trouble with your brows, then move on to the lip or chin area.
