Are there any herbal remedies for a woman with a hairy chin?

Answer 1

Yes, there are several, but they can all be dangerous.

You've really got to take a step back from this and look at why your chin is hairy -- a very common condition indeed.

If you do decide you have to do something, then there isn't a simple answer.

Facial (and also body) hair on women comes about in the same way as on men because of

1) your body being sensitized, before you were even born, to testosterone -- doesn't happen to all girls, but does to many

2) your body producing high levels of testosterone

The growth rate and coarseness of the hair depends on just how much testosterone is circulating in your bloodstream.

Herbal remedies are of varying efficacy, but rely on increasing your estrogen levels which can, in some instances, increase the risk of cancers of the womb and/or ovaries and/or breast. It's usally safer to take some other approach.

One approach, of course, is to do nothing -- a hairy chin is not that unusual in women. However, on the assumption that you don't consider that a valid option for you then :

Steer clear of bleaching -- when someone sees you against the light you'll look as if you have a glowing moustache and/or beard.

As far as removing it is concerned it's worth remembering that

* Waxing, plucking, threading, epilating all pull the hair out by the roots and where the growth is hormonally-driven can actually stimulate a dormant follicle into producing more hair quicker. They also distort the root if done repeatedly, leading to hair growing at strange angles. And you've got to let the hair grow to quite a length before you can repeat the exercise. It can also damage the skin and discolor it. Long-term use of waxing also causes bad wrinkles.

* Chemical depilatories strong enough to remove the hair are very likely to burn the skin, cause swelling and cause long-term discoloration of the skin.

* Laser is also liable to cause burning and discoloration and in any case only works effectively on a dark hair/light skin combinantion.

* Electrolysis is very liable to cause scarring and discoloration of the skin.

Which, like it or not, leaves shaving which does not damage the skin. Best done with a men's-style electric razor, the best of which, for women, are probably those from the men's range of Norelco razors (Philishave outside the US). Most women who try a men's Norelco wonder why nobody ever told them about it before.

You might have PCOS. Try easing up your testosterone level by taking herbal alternatives such as chaste berry, nettles, red clover, soy, green tea, flaxseeds and supplements like chromium, zinc, and B6. Try to lower your blood sugar level by avoiding white stuffs such as sugar, bread, rice and pastries. Topical soy can help ease "hairy" problems
