Using tweezers on facial hair and body hair?

Question

i use tweezers on my facial hair but i just hate how my legs just get hairy after a few days when i shaved. I know that when you pick out your hair it takes longer for your hair to grow, so using tweezers on body hair?

Answer 1

why not wax? Tweezin'll take forever.

Answer 2

If you've really hairy legs it'll take ages -- even using an epilator.

Waxing is quicker, but if the growth is really strong can be ineffective.

A very close trim with a "beard trimmer" followed by shaving with a men's-type electric razor is often a good option.

For the face, plucking is not a good idea -- eventually it distorts the root of the hair and you end up with hairs growing at strange angles in your moustache. Waxing, epilating, sugaring, threading etc. all have the same problem. Chemical depilatories are likely to burn the skin as is laser and both laser and electrolysis are liable to cause scarring and discoloration.

Best answer for facial hair is a Norelco (Philishave outside the US) men's type electric razor, but NEVER use the same razor for your legs and for your face.

There are a few methods of getting rid of unwanted hair, the razor is not your only choice. If you aspire to have a silky-smooth, hairless face, try some of the methods below. 1 Shave it, but remember that this is a temporary method of facial hair removal that is not recommended for women. Regrowth tends to occur rapidly. 2 Tweeze it. Tweezing is a good, although somewhat painful way to remove small areas of unwanted facial hair. Because the hair is plucked out at the root, it takes longer for regrowth to appear. 3 Use depilatory creams, gels and lotions, which contain a chemical that alters the structure of the hair for easy removal. This chemical can be irritating to skin, so use only a product especially formulated for the face. Always do a skin test on a small area of the face before using the product, and follow directions exactly to avoid irritation or chemical burns. 4 Consider waxing every 4 to 6 weeks, in which you apply hot or cold wax to the area of unwanted hair. The hair becomes affixed to the wax and the wax is then pulled off the skin, taking the hair with it. Test a small area of your skin for an allergic reaction before using, and do not use wax on sunburned or irritated skin. 5 Think about electrolysis, a permanent hair removal method in which an electrical current is used to destroy the hair root. Several treatments may be required over a period of time, as each hair follicle must be destroyed individually. 6 Laser it. Hair removal by laser must be done by a licensed professional. It can be expensive and time-consuming, and it may not be permanent. It is best to discuss your situation with a professional. You can find one by looking in the yellow pages under "Hair Removing." Tips & Warnings You may wish to discuss hair removal options with your physician before proceeding.Consider using a lotion containing alpha-hydroxy acid after any of the above treatments. It exfoliates the skin, which helps to prevent ingrown hairs.If all else fails, bleaching the hair is a safe and easy option.Nearly all methods of hair removal cause some kind of discomfort or skin irritation. Be sure to consider these before choosing one method over another.

Answer 4

Most hair removal methods are temporary and painful.
Many people prefer to make their body and facial hair less noticeable by bleaching.

Answer 5

You should get an epilator. It looks like an electric razor, but actually pulls out several hairs at a time. It's great for large areas like legs. They run at about $60, but last forever.

Answer 6

use NAIR, it works. You don't have to go and pay alot of money to get them waxed, plus the pain! Ughh. But go to your near drug store and pick up a bottle of NAIR. It's the best. Plus you don't have to pay as much, and feel the pain.

Answer 7

Tweezing will take forever on your legs. You should use wax or something like nair or veet.

Answer 8

Tweezing might work but, it will take forever specially with long legs. I'd wax my legs... it lasts pretty long.

Answer 9

Sure it'll kepp them from growing but it will take forever to pluck! Just get your legs waxed. It lasts about 3 months!

Answer 10
