what is the best way to remove a woman's facial hair on the upper lip?

Answer 1

wax

Answer 2

I go to a good, experienced aesthetician to have my upper lip waxed. It has grown back finer over time. If you have sensitive skin let her know and ask for a cold wax.

It's a good idea to have a soothing balm on hand for afterwards. Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 & Aquaphor Healing Ointment are good. You can apply a cold compress and then the balm to sooth the skin.

Waxing isn't all that bad but it takes some getting used to. Also, your upper lip is sensitive and might be a little dry afterwards and these products are the best I've found.

Some people prefer hydrocortisone cream, Neosporin or aloe gel.

Note: people using Retin-A or Differin should not wax. These medications thin the skin and waxing could tear off top layers.

Another method is threading. It is popular in other countries, but relatively new in the U.S.

Although there are wax strips designed for home use, I don't recommend inexperienced people do this. It is important to take the strip off in the correct direction and you want it to work the first time. Practice may make perfect but you'll have red, blotchy skin.

Another home solution is to use a depilatory designed for the face. The down side is that a depilatory can irritate the skin and it may smell a bit.

Threading is another good option. It can be hard to find a salon that provides this service since it's relatively new here.

A permanent solution would be laser removal. It is supposed to be better than electrolysis.

There is also a prescription product called Vaniqa. (http://www.vaniqa.com)

Avoid shaving. It doesn't make hair grow back darker or thicker. It just seems that way because all the hairs grow back with a straight tip and create stubble.

confident, maximum do have hair on their larger lip. some wax it off. Others do no longer hassle whether it is not too significant. the main well liked female I ever dated had some hair above her lip. No huge deal. Now, related to the chin hair. i'm no longer too acquainted with that. i understand that average facial hair in many situations is common for women, yet in my view I even have never dated a woman who had chin hair. i do no longer think of i could strategies nevertheless. that's in simple terms hair. huge deal. rather of attempting to make sure if she is a freak or no longer, how approximately some introspection? Why does hair gross you out? do no longer use "as a results of fact" as a reaction. in case you're saying that she is masculine as a results of fact of her facial hair, then adult men who've little or no physique and sparse facial hair could desire to be female. in case you could quit relationship her or say something to break her emotions all as a results of fact of facial hair, then you definately've plenty to study approximately relationship and being in relationships. strategies and strategies trump aesthetic features any day.
