Decreasing estrogen levels. Your body produces Testosterone continually throughout your life, but estrogen is dependent on your ovaries. If you have polycystic ovaries, you can also develop facial and excess body hair.
To remove it, you may wax, shave or have electrolysis or laser removal.

Some people really have some very strange ideas!! No, of course not! How ridiculous! Nothing, I mean NOTHING, you do to the hair on the outside is going to affect the root of the hair where the hair comes from. It won't make it grow longer, darker, thicker, or even make it stop growing. The hair grows as it was programmed before you were born, and you can't change that. Shaving cuts off the hair at the surface of the skin. The hair continues to grow as it always did. In a day or so, when it grows just that tiny fraction of a centimetre, you are going to feel stubble. That is normal. When the hair is longer, it has some flexibility and feels softer. When it is very short, it feels stiffer, and you feel that stubble. If you wanted to get rid of the hair for a longer time, you can pull it out (tweezing, threading, waxing). It takes longer to heal the root, and for a new hair to grow to the surface of the skin. The tip comes out very fine and soft, so you don't see (or feel) the hair for a long time. But it does grow back. To permanently remove the hair, you have to kill the root so no hair ever grows again. That can be done with electrolysis or laser treatments. This is permanent, and costs more than the other treatments. But your "mustache" is probably not as noticeable as you think. Just tease your boyfriend -- he is jealous that you can grow one better than he can! LOL See if he likes that.

My mom has that problem and she's a little older than you.
She waxes if off and it's normal to have facial hair. It's some syndrome or whatever but 80% of all women have it and people are born with hair on their faces! so no worries. But waxing or threading is easier. Of course you could get a laser treatment but make sure it's a licesned official doctor.

if that's your only symptom why not try a facial hair remover? Easy to use. If you have other symptons, talk to your Dr. Probably hormonal changes that can occur any time after 40. but it could be something such as a thyroid condition so it's worth looking into.

Hormones. I understand I am over 40 and have a few that I take out. Waxing helps keep it at bay for awhile. When we get into the menopause stage these things and other things are very common.

I'm laughing, because a doctor once asked me if I had a lot of hair growing anywhere on my body. A blood test showed that I had a lot of testosterone in my body. Maybe that's why I was so good in sports as a woman. But hair growth is usually genetic and often relates to your ethnic background. If you can afford it, electrolysis can take care of it, but it takes a lot of visits.

If it's not a medical condition and you can afford it laser is the best and most permanent. If you have gray or blond hair it might not work as well. The consultations are free.

aging/loss of estrogen causes facial hair.

You Wax or Pluck.
Using a razor makes it come back thicker and darker
