Ah lip wax fail what can I use if I have no wax remover

[startingafresh1]

I was lucky enough to fly to France this morning. We are going skiing.

After brushing my teeth at home I noticed I have a bit of a moustache . So I grabbed a couple of wax strips and popped them in my bra to warm up (they are rubbish unless slightly warm).

I got distracted by DC and on the plane realised I still had the strips in my bra, and of course I still have a horrid moustache.

I've rescued the strips, and intend to use them later. I've not got any of the wax remover wipes with me though and I'm
wondering what I can use instead?

We are planning a supermarket shop later, but TBH I would rather not add 'wax removal wipes' to the list as we are here with a big group who don't need to know about my hair issues.

Any advice gratefully received.

Can you just use baby wipes?

Does baby oil or lotion work? Or hand cream?

Shave it this time

Or a lighter?

Any kind of oil works - olive oil?!

Don’t wax, bleach is way better!

I've used olive oil, bio oil, baby oil - great for painless plaster removal too

Any kind of oil will work, like baby oil, olive oil.

Pat the back of the strip over where you've waxed to remove the excess. Then use baby oil.

Hair removal cream. Do a patch test though!

Fabulous. We are bound to get some sort of oil in our shopping trip, so I will use that.

Don't think I'll request baby oil as that in itself will raise eyebrows.

Wax works well for me. Bleaching it just gives me a white moustache!

I daren't shave it in case I get a bristly obvious regrowth.

I used to worry about bristles and stubble. The blonde grew back fine and my fuse wires were easier to locate with tweezers.
Then I realised all the lady defuzzing hurt like a bitch and was expensive.

If there were a better way then men would be using it!

Bleaching would only be better if the OP was keen to have a white moustache!

Olive oil works a treat

Do not bleach. You'll have a ginger tache instead.

Coconut oil works well.
