Question

I have been using those facial hair removal shavers and now my chin is full of manly hair it looks gross im embarrased aswell. is there anything i can use or do to fix the problem??

Answer 1

Nair makes a product specifically for the face that works great and isn't irritating. I use it for my moustache. um, I mean, I heard you can use it for a moustache. ; )

Answer 2

There's no need to be embarrassed. Far more women than you imagine have that sort of facial hair. The question is how best to deal with it.

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.

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.

Answer 3

I use a hair removal cream on a regular basis and I have my eyebrows waxed. You may be able to find a doctor that does laser hair removal and find out how long it lasts. But I believe even with electrolysis the hair eventually grows back.

Answer 4

Laser treatments work excellently and they are permanent. I had the same problem as you and now the hair is all gone and I'm super happy. Now the only thing is, that laser doesn't work on light or blond hair. So if your hair is dark it will work. It is really worth the money.

Answer 5

Laser treatments work very well. You can call 888.517.4187 to get pricing and find a practioner or go to the attached site that compares laser providers.

Answer 7

One Touch Facial Waxer $12.99, you can buy this at any drug store.

Answer 8

there are facial depilatories, and there is also lazer hair removal, tho that is expensive.

Answer 9

That is just about the most unattractive thing I have ever heard. My suggestion: A brown bag with holes cut out for the eyes.
