To ask how you deal with unwanted facial hair?

[PandoraHadABox]

I am fair haired and have downy hair on my face which is getting worse, allergic to hair removal cream and unsure about waxing. Have visited a dermatologist for laser but told it doesn't work on fair hair! Has anyone bought a 'No No' device? Not sure how it works but adverts are very enticing. Grateful for any help....

Have ordered my tweezy, 86p and free postage! Bargain! Can I just recommend never using an electrical epilator for a stubborn and probably too short chin hair. I scoured off a layer of skin leaving an inch square raw area weeping for days and still getting get the sodding bristle

Shave face with Venus oil of Olay razors. No need for shaving cream etc they are pre loaded and moisturising. Have one in bag also for work. Also use on underarms and what's left of bikini (had laser)

Love the thought of the ease of shaving, but what about kissing? Even one of my friends appeared to jump when exchanging cheek kisses, pretty sure it was that and not the waft of garlic from lunch....are you sure it doesn't grow back itchy and stubbly?

Ive used a razor on my face before, downy pale hair won't be stubbly.

In Japan, it's common practice for women to shave their faces.

I've never noted stubble on a Japanese woman.

I take my glasses off.
Makes the problem go away at once.

No but it takes literally seconds so you could do it every day if you wanted once a week is fine for me, hair feels soft coming through not sure why? Except the bastard thick chin ones

I get my whole face and eyebrows threaded about once a month to keep me sane. In between/when needed I tweeze stray hairs on my neck, chin, eyebrows, and sometimes epilate my upper lip. I hate being so hairy but for me it's genetic I guess as my dad is very hairy and his sister is very hairy too, sigh.

Mine doesn't grow back itchy & stubbly; my skin & new hair feel soft 😀
Have tried every other facial hair-removal method going! I was a bit worried before I did it first time - but it's fine ! Just use shaving gel or the Venus of Olay razor like pp says.
I think there is a special face razor thing, if you want to go fancy. ? Lilybeth of New York £7 ish Amazon

Thank goodness it's not just me. I'm only in my 30's and I find I spend so long tweezing my chin and lip my eyebrows aren't getting a look in. Problem is the bastards are breeding now and I'm in danger of getting a beard to rival my husband

I use the no no on mine. It's fab. Mine is very fair and downy but it works just fine.

The colonel - I use the Philips lumea comfort - the mini one on facial hair. My hair is fair and it does work - I have it waxed, or have electrolysis and then whiz the lumea over once a week . I can now go several months without needing to remove Ny hair and in some places it no longer grows back. I got mine via eBay for around £70

I use the smooth skin mitt things (like sand paper)

Aha! A whole new gang of springy-thingy fans :)
Good luck my friends and may your face be smooth and peach like for ever and ever more

I bought that spring shaped epilator posted by NorksAreMessy and fucking hell, its a torture device.
Waxing is less painful and you can get ready to use facial waxing strips in the pound shops.

I'm off to google the springy thing now!! Thanks for this thread!!

What about it hair removal from a mole?

Jennifer Just snip it close to the skin - NEVER pluck or epilate a mole, and don't use any chemical on it.

DD has got a little Veet machine from Superdrug, seems to be quite good

I shave. Epilator works but hurts like buggery, Immac and waxing gives me a rash and bleaching turns it ginger. Either use a trimmer or mach 3.

Omg well I have to say I ordered the spring thing, it came yesterday and for the first time in 4 years my chin and lip is stubble free! I took to shaving 4 years ago as I so embarrassed at the amount of hair well, managed to remove half of it 24 hours after shaving and removed the other half tonight. I'm so happy I could cry. Thank you MN, you rock

Ahaha!
Good morning fresh-faced Fruit, so glad I could help :)

My spring thing came today - sod's law as I have just waxed (I had no choice, people thought I was Stalin).

However despite have waxed yesterday, I still manage (judging from the pain) to hick out a few more fine little hairs.

I'm wondering though if it will end up with millions of tiny bristles trapped in the coils
