Facial hair

If you remove your face hair, how do you do it?

I am very fair and have a lot of very soft blonde hair on my face. I’ve tried those crazy wee razor things from Amazon before but I just wondered if there’s a trick I’m missing?

I’ve looked online and apparently epilating is the way forward - however, I have heard that epilators are the work of Satan?!

Can anyone help a hairy lady out?!

I use a facial epilator for “peach fuzz” - I’m quite furry!! Hurts like fuck but I push through it! Do it at night so any redness has time to die down. I just got a Philips one last summer - about £35 I think? Doesn’t need doing that often.

I have quite dark hair but I use an epilator and once every 6 weeks or so I use wax strips for the peach fuzz.

Do you have the name of it, please? I just tried googling, and it threw up so many different ones for the body, etc. Thanks!

I just leave 'peach fuzz' now, ukt9mately it is normal. Anything I do to remove it just breaks me out, and whilst skincare and makeup go on so much better when I remove it, it isn't worth it for me.

When I did, the best and least painful method (totally pain free in fact) was facial razors (Hollywood browzer or a knockoff which is exactly the same). If it's 'proper' hair though I'd wax.

So if using an epilator, would a specific facial one be best? Or one that can be used all over the body?

Not going to lie, I’m fecking terrified of epilating
