Ah crap! My 6yo has jut told me I have a moustache

[Porcupinepantaloons]

😬😳😭

So... What's the best method of dealing with an unwanted tache?

I have/ had PCOS so that's probably what's going on. My skin is fair and the hairs are fairly dark (like my arms and eyebrows)

I sound like a gorilla woman!

[Titsywoo]

Wax!

[ditavonteesed]

I dealt with mine after delightful dd told mne the same, nair facial cream its brilliant.

[Porcupinepantaloons]

Waxing hurts and I get loads of in growing hairs on my legs so not sure about that.

Is Nair a bleach or a removal cream?

I am clueless and panicking. Think I will be wearing the school run balaclava tomorrow!

[Fluffycloudland77]

I use the nair hair removal cream too. I have pcos as well.

[madmother1]

My poor DD has hers waxed or threaded. She's only 15 and quite hairy. Do not shave with a razor!!!

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

I wax my 'tasche it's very quick and I've never had any har problems but I do get a few tiny spots so need to pick my day carefully.

DD uses Jolen bleach (very gentle on her skin, she's 13.6)

Blonding hair still means it's visible in the wrong light though.

Epistick

job done! Cheap and easy and relatively pain free!

[FrostyNipples]

If you are hard, epilate.

I got new contact lenses, realised I was sporting ISIS style facial hair (beard with no moustache I pluck my moustache natch) blonde, bushy and bang on trend it's had to go.

Topical or not the Noel Edmunds look does fuck all for me.

[TeaFathers]

Jolen hair bleach is very good.
boots own brand is much the same.
apply and leave on for 15-17 minutes and then remove.
i do my moustache on the button every 3 weeks.
otherwise i'd pass for groucho marx.

[MaisieDotes]

I epilate mine. I don't have to do it very often as it's naturally blond but as PP said it's still visible in certain light.

I have a Braun facial epilator but tbh the ordinary leg epilator is quicker.

[MaisieDotes]

Oh, I meant to say. I can't wax as my skin is too fair. I'd have to stay in for about 3 days if I waxed my tache!

[ToysDontWorkNoMore]

Pluck.

[Porcupinepantaloons]

Hmmm

I am not hard so epileptic get is out - couldn't even do it on my legs!

70 - I am still (despite being in my 30s!) spot prone so might avoid waxing too - a red spotty moustache is no better than a hairy one. 😬

Off to get some nair tomorrow!

[MaisieDotes]

But with Nair will it not grow back as stubble?

If you have an epilator just try it- it's not that bad I promise!

[Fluffycloudland77]

You dont get stubble with nair, it's very gentle too. Mysupermarket.com will tell you the cheapest place to buy it.

[megletthesecond]

Facial wax strips. Leave it til Friday though (assuming you can lie low at the weekend). That way any redness can settle down. I've been waxing for years and never had a facial ingrowing hair and it's so quick it doesn't hurt anymore, no redness either.

[carrie74]

I did wax and then bought a home IPL machine. Once I'd seen the results on legs, bikini and pits, I decided to have a go on the tache, and it's great. You're supposed to shave before using it, but there was no way I was risking shaving the tache, so I just did it without shaving, and it's still been effective. Only takes a minute too. But quite a big investment unless you're keen to go hair free elsewhere.

[PrimalLass]

I think mine is getting there, after looking in a very-well lit mirror this weekend. I think I'll save up for a Lumea.

[Whoknewitcouldbeso]

I epilate but am going to get myself a Lumea at some point as I'm moving into an age range now where a beard will be following soon enough.

[Porcupinepantaloons]

Well I did a patch test of Veet facial hair removal cream.
Actually I did 2. Because it would have been weird to just remove a patch of hair on one side, leaving me with a wonky 'tache!

Veet smells weird! Like hair dye and burning hair!

[Minshu]

Epistick - clean, quick, easy, cheap and doesn't hurt much.

[MabelFurball]

Yes another one for Epistick - so easy and addictive!

[Porcupinepantaloons]

Ah fuck!

I did a patch test, all good.

Removed the rest of the hair last night, felt OK. But now my top lip is numb!

That's a react to the cream isn't it. :(

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

I have a weirdy numb lip after waxing. It feels creepily smooth and numbish.

I was going to wax a while ago but after doing my pits , I found it was really sticky and I had to reapply to remove what got left, I think the wax was old/heated too often.

I have new wax now

[Porcupinepantaloons]

It's not nice is it!

I'm chucking out the Veet cream.

I might try waxing next time, or maybe threading - I had my eyebrows threaded years ago and it wasn't too painful at all.
