Well I've reached a certain age and last year I noticed the odd random neck/chin hair, only a few so I got into the habit of using veet which worked.
Fast forward to towards the end of the year and I was noticing a few more but probably not more than 10 but veet no longer worked or rather it did but I got burns so had to put on lots more foundation to disguise the burn marks.
I got fed up of burn marks so thought maybe shaving is better but I was having to shave weekly unlike with veet every couple of weeks.
Well there is now about 30/40 predominately on the neck and I've been wearing a scarf (indoors too but saying full of cold and don't want another cold).
So last week I looked online and found a tweezer epilator type thing and ordered it but I've spent 30 minutes using it to remove 2/3 hairs. I can probably dedicate a Sunday to spending 1+ trying to remove them but surely there has to be something else more effective. I can't afford electrolysis so what options do I have, invest in a little epilator type razor thing I've seen or will this still take an hour? Do I pluck each one individually with tweezers? Or is there cream like veet that wont burn?
It's starting to make me self conscious and avoid looking at people.
I have a 40th tonight so think I'm going to have to veet and burn and lots of foundation unless I can get the hang of this epilator tweezer thing and have more success.
