8 Detailed Ways To Remove Unwanted Feminine Facial Hair

Shaving

This is a quick fix solution only. If you are ready to leave the house and notice the odd stray hair then by all means reach for the razor.Shaving unfortunately, if your not cautious enough can cause razor burn (reddening and a rash develops causing discomfort in the shaven area) or you can seriously cut yourself with the blades. The major fact about shaving is it only cuts the hair above the skin, it gets nothing else. Causing the hair to grow back faster and heavier.

Note:
  • Remember to use a shaving cream or soap always. Never, ever dry shave.
  • Always use a fresh razor, don't be tempted to use the same one your partner used that morning, male facial hair is a lot coarser than female hair and males generally blunt the blade a lot quicker than we do. You will end up removing a layer of skin along with the hair.
Pros:
  • Rather quick and simple
  • Quick solution to waiting for other methods
Cons:
  • Extremely expensive
  • Hair grows back quicker and darker
  • Only gets the hair above the skin
  • Can cause razor burn and cuts
  • Increases the probability of ingrown hairs (especially around the bikini line)
  • Have to wait in between shavings (at least a day) so as not to cause pain due to the shortness of the hair
Waxing

 Waxing is at time a quick and cost efficient method of removing unwanted hair, especially on the face. Currently there are two widely used types of wax; hard wax and soft wax. Hard wax is used on more sensitive areas; like the lips of your vagina when doing brazilian and soft wax is used for legs, face, and underarms. Areas that can take more tug and pull on them. One of the most common ingredients in all waxes is Pine Rosin, which is an ingredient when added with others allows the hardening and bonding of the wax to not only your skin, but the hair folicle and paper as well.

Note:
  • If you are going to wax, then remember two things, it hurts and wax at least six hours before you are going to appear in public. Waxing can leave the skin reddened for quite some time. This effect can be reduced by holding a cold flannel against the skin for five minutes after waxing.
  • Do not be tempted to spread hot wax over your entire upper lip and then rip off the strip in one pull.
Pros:
  • Quick solution to unwanted facial hair
  • Can be relatively inexpensive; for example, upper lip, face, and eyebrows
  • 6-8 weeks before having to go in to get waxed again
  • Hair grows back finer
Cons:
  • If your allergic to any of the ingredients in wax, the symptoms don't show up for a few days after the initial waxing
  • waxing is not pain free, and causes redness, bleeding, and the area to become tender (so its recommended you don't schedule to get waxed the day of a big event)
  • The hair has to be at least 1cm before you can get rewaxed

 Tweezing

Tweezing takes patience attention to detail, and some drawing skills. Usually before you start, especially if there is no form to your eyebrows; you have to first draw with a eye pencil how you want to shape your eyebrows. From there you begin to pluck all the unwanted hairs around the drawn line, not in them. Now if your not symmetrical in your drawing, you will end up with quite odd looking eyebrows; because they won't be even.
First use a warm face cloth and lay it over the area you want to tweeze for a few minutes. This opens up the hair follicle and makes it easier and less painful to yank out. When you have finished tweezing use the same cloth with cold water to close up the pores again and reduce any risk of reddening of the skin.

Note:
  • This method is best if you only have the odd stray hair to deal with as repeated plucking can cause damage to the skin and the hair will only grow back darker and coarser. 
Pros:
  • Cheaply available.
Cons:
  • Extremely time consuming
  • The hair grows back normally within the week, causing you to have to tweeze more often
  • Due to the symmetry involved, if not payed attention too can cause over tweezing (removal of too much hair) or uneven eyebrows (too much tweezing on one, not enough on the other) or your lines were crooked.
  • Painful
  • Nearly impossible to get the finer hairs
  • Hair grows back the same density
Electrolyse

This is probably the best permanent solution to unwanted hair to say bye bye to that moustache forever. Always use a registered technician, having an electrical charge run through a fine needle into your face isn’t something you want done by an amateur. You can even ask your doctor for a recommendation, if the facial hair is very bad, and you live in the UK, the treatment might be free.

Note:
  • Make sure that the person electrolysing is a registered technician
Pros:
  • Effective
  • Durable
Cons:
  • Expensive
Creams

A number of good hair minimizing creams are available in the market.Most of them are proving to be too good but in a long process. If you want to get rid of this problem without any pain then this is a good way for you to opt.

Note:
  • Always do a small test patch first as they can irritate the skin.
Pros:
  • Good result
  • Painless
Cons:
  • Takes Long Time
  • Don't remove hair completely.Just make them less noticeable.
Laser hair removal

It involves the exposure of hairs to be removed to pulses of laser light that destroy the hair follicle. 
Ask your doctor for a referral if at all possible.

Note:
  • It should only ever be carried out by a fully qualified professional. 
  • Don't risk having it done in a hair salon.
Pros:
  • Permanent solution
Cons:
  • Very Expensive
Bleaching

If the hairs are fine but dark then bleaching might be a good solution for you. Always buy facial bleach, if you are in any doubt ask your chemist or pharmacist for advice.

Note:
  • Always do a skin patch test first
  • Leave at least forty eight hours between the test and using the bleach on the delicate skin of your face.
Pros:
  • Easy
  • Immediate result
Cons:
  • Expert advice required
Home Remedy:
  • Make a paste using equal amounts of turmeric and chickpea flour and a little water. 
  • Apply this paste to the hairy area, leave to dry and then gently rub off. 
  • This really does work quite well but it can leave the face a little red for a short while. 
  • If your skin does go red then try holding an ice cube wrapped in a soft cloth against the area for a short while. 
Note:
  • Never use ice directly on the skin, it can leave a freeze burn which will be far worse than a few stray hairs.
Pros:
  • Cheap
  • Reliable
Cons:
  • Not faster
  • Temporary
