4 Ways to Make Sure that Your Facial Hair Removal Smoothly

September 19, 2009 · Filed Under Acne 

It is undeniable that facial hair is a problem for everyone. Of course it is a bigger deal for some than others. But no matter who you are, you have at least one hair that you tweeze. It is just a fact of life.

If you are anything like me, plucking makes you crazy. I cannot even see the mirror through the tears in my eyes! However I am timid about facial hair creams. I tried one when I was in high school and had a long red blister over my upper lip for a week. To be honest I probably would have preferred the girlstache…

Luckily hair creams have come a long way since high school. They used to be awfully smelly and packed with harsh chemicals. Now using one is like aromatherapy. Of course, you will still have to look out for some pitfalls.

Get the best results from facial hair removers by following these steps:

1. Do a test first. Try the cream on your wrist before smearing it on your face. If you feel a burning feeling on your skin or you get a rash then you will know that you should not use it on your face. A small dab of the cream should be enough to test with.

2. Keep an eye out for herbal ingredients. You will need chemicals to melt hair away. But herbal extracts can help your skin recover from this exposure. Facial hair removers that contain heavy moisturizers and natural ingredients tend to be easier on your skin.

3. Go for the good smelling stuff. You likely remember that stinky cream that was used to remove leg hair. That smell was nothing but chemicals. Now you can eliminate the odor or at least mask it with fragrance. People find that the scents alleviate allergic reactions to the chemical smells. Unless you cannot handle any artificial fragrance at all, your nose will thank you for the improved aroma.

4. Work in sections on your face. Once you decide to put the cream on your face, take it slow. Begin with the eyebrow area. It is definitely less sensitive than the upper lip area. If your brows are okay, then move on to your lip area or chin.
