Can i use regular nair on my upper lip?

Question

:(.
i always have the problem with 'mustache' upper lip hair.
will REGULAR body remover work? it doesnt say to use or not to use on face, but it doesnt name it in the chart where it says 'places to apply'

if not--
are their any other solutions that i can get rid of the hair in ONE night WITHOUT any laser surgery, and having to go out and buy anything?

Answer 1

I tried to use the regular nair once on my lip....not a pretty picture. My advice from experience: Try some sensitive nair. It worked well for me. Only problem, it grew back after 2 days. What I do now is get my lip waxed. The result: FABULOUS!

Answer 2

If it doesn't say then I wouldn't recommend using it on your face, as skin can be more sensitive here.
On the other hand, you could always try a test patch - a small area on your face, say side of your cheek, or bottom of jaw, where it won't be too noticeable if you do have a reaction to it.
Alternatively, you could try plucking the problem hairs with tweezers? Depending on how much hair you have there, it might be a quick solution (albeit moderately painful!)

I think though, that your best off just using hair removal cream designed for your upper lip x

Answer 3

I would use a removal cream made specifically for the skin on your face. Your skin there is more sensitive than on your legs.

Contrary to popular belief, shaving/cream removal/waxing, etc. does NOT make your hair grow faster, thicker or darker. When you shave a hair, the razor cuts the hair off bluntly. It will appear darker and feel sharper. Hair grows tapered so that the tip of the hair is thinner and angled. Shave it off and you change the tip to blunt.

WARNING: If you do decide to use Nair or any other hair removal cream on your upper lip, do NOT wash your face with soap just prior to hair removal. There can be a chemical reaction and your skin will burn more. Slight tingling or burning is normal, but sores that ooze clear fluid are NOT. Seriously, that happened to me.

Answer 4

I wouldn't recommend using regular nair on your face. They make hair removal creams especially for your face. Try sally hansen, all those products are grouped together in the same section. The only other solution would be waxing. No matter what, DO NOT SHAVE!! You can get a good hair removal cream for probably around $6. Hope this helps!

Answer 5

Getting it waxed is the best solution. because shaving it and chemical hair removers just gets rid of the hair above the skin...it doesn't kill the hair follicle. waxing/plucking hair actually gets rid of the whole follicle, making it take longer to grow back, and they won't appear thicker/darker. So I got mine waxed a couple times and I just pluck it when I start to see hairs growing back, and now I am never self conscious about my mustache =)

Answer 6

Darlin,
One very important thing I want you to remember each time you put anything on your body.
It goes straight into you....... yes and you'res stuck with it till your body can remove it the only way it knows how... either through holes or store it in your glands etc...
Please be very careful what you put on your skin!
I think waxing... painfull but harmless
or just shave it every morning like I have to
Skin is like wettex just soaks up what you put on it.

Answer 7

Hot wax. I wouldn't use nair because it will break you out pronto. Just go to the nail salon and have them wax it. Quick, easy and lasts longer.

Answer 8

They sell Nair for your face that works

Answer 9

NO!!! wrong to use on face any type, chemical reaction may make hair grow faster and heavier!!

Answer 10

There are SPECIAL hair removers for the facial area. That's what you need.
