Upper lip facial hair???

Question

What can I use to get rid of it, w/out the product making my lip red & irritated, as I have sensitive skin. And something that will make it grow back slower, but that prob can't be changed. I'm already using Nair upper lip cream w/aloe vera in it, & that works pretty good. Any other suggetions???

Answer 1

get it threaded, usually it is good where there is a professional studio or where they also do eyebrows...my friends all do this and we are very young...it doesn't irritate the skin at all...nair has many chemicals which can irritate the skin

I really hope this helped even the least bit!
Happy Thanksgiving and have a good weekend!

Answer 2

sugaring!\
Sugaring is an alternative to waxing and is great for sensitive skin because the stuff only sticks to hair not skin!
be careful, sugraing is very messy.
Sugaring leaves you hair-free for 3-6 weeks
its done just like waxing.
Here is a sugaring recipe:
2 C sugar

1/4 C lemon juice

1/4 C water

Combine all of the above in a saucepan.

Stir it constantly over medium- low heat until sugar turns deep brown(around 35-40 minutes). When ready, pour it into a thick plastic container. Let it cool down until warm, and spreads easy. If it cools down too much, you can put it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.

Again, make sure it is not too hot before you apply it to the skin.

Answer 3

Many women choose to bleach the hair on their upper lip. This causes it to not be so noticeable - if you have light skin.

Otherwise, I would continue using the Nair cream, since waxing will cause irritation for a little bit.

Also, you *could* shave it off, but it will keep coming back and it will come in darker.

Answer 4

Nair is good, or you could get it waxed. That goes red for a short while but will soon calm down. If it is red, just put some witch hazel on to soothe it. Immac / Veet (whatever they call themselves these days) also do some mini wax strips which are quite good for doing lip hair.

Answer 5

i would suggest that you either wax, or thread. Threading can be effective, and its less than £10 to get it done at a beauty salon. Some hairdressers do it too. As the hair is getting pull from the root, it should take longer to grow back, and will grow back thinner.

Answer 6

yeah I have that regrettably.... i wax it, and don't be disturbed waxing it would not make it thicker or darker on shaving does that, do not SHAVE IT! use those nair ones that are waiting to apply, that's specificly made for those parts.It would not damage believe me, that's over in like fairly a 2d, ascertain you get all parts, you don't want to do round with little bits of more beneficial lip hair exhibiting, examine the teachings carefuly. good success!

Answer 7

Nads - home use cold wax system - costs about £15 but does the job and is enough to use for a few months

Answer 8

hey nair always made my skin really sore so i stop using it. i now use Superdrug moisturising sensitive hair removal cream. its a bout a £10 i think but its a 200ml bottle so last for ages. its really good and only takes 10mins.
