Answer 1

You may benefit from taking birth control pills. Talk to your doctor about it.

Answer 2

Acne and facial hair are both caused by high levels of male hormones.

If there's not too much facial hair, do you really need to do anything about it? Most guys are OK about women with, for example, a slight moustache.

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.

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

The "St. Ives" facial scrub works (over time) and it smells SOOOOOOO good, all u really need is the cleanser and scrub, the mask is ok, too. Use the CLEANSER FIRST and then the SCRUB SECOND, use in the morning (when u first wake up, AFTER breakfast), afternoon (AFTER lunch), and at nite (before going 2 bed, AFTER dinner). And 1 more thing, try not 2 touch ur face (ur hands r oily) if u wanna feel ur face once in a while (as it improves) 2 feel improvment, wash ur hands FIRST!!!!!!!!!! :-D Hope this helps! Good Luck! :-D

P.S. The LAST link is 4 hair removal.

check for the soap that has ph balance i.e. it isn't too alkaline nor too acidic.
and ofcourse main thing is also the food you intake avoid completely oily food, fried food.
eat lots of fresh vegetables and fruits.
