Bloody chin hairs!!!

[GreenFingersWouldBeHandy]

Ladies, help me. I'm mid 40s and the bastard chins hairs keep on coming. I keep plucking them out, but am I going to have a beard by the time I'm 50? Nasty course black thick hairs. Do I need to go and see my GP? ARGH!?!?!

[dementedma]

The white ones are bastards to get out. And yes to face fluff. WTF is that about??

[RandomWok]

So the philips thingy is recommended? I have black chin hair. When they regrow a lot of them are ingrown and cause spots and scabs. It looks terrible and I have many many hairs.

From reading this thread I think my "Pig Bristles" might be a bit of an anomaly. I don't get stray coarse hairs like most of you, I get a sort of fine fuzz all over my chin, jawline and upper lip. Irritating as it's not really tweezeable.

@MinisterforCheekyFuckery
I think it is what we refer to as fluff. You're just lucky not to have bristles too .

[Sallycinnamum]

I have a Lumea and while it's been relatively successful it's not been the magical wonder machine I expected.

It got rid of my underarm hair and minimal growth on legs but has zero effect on bikini line and moderate success on the chin and lip.

[FreeButtonBee]

Lumea definitely helps too although I find it slows them down rather than stops them entirely. IF I keep it up fortnightly then there are much fewer to pluck and I can get away with a light shave once a month and the odd plucking in between. Also a good chemical exfoliator reduces the spots and bumps. Pixi Glow Tonic is a good starter. It turns over the skin so that the little fuckers can get out more easily and with less damage. The Ordinary do a similar thing. It does mean you get more of the 'WTF' foot long hairs appearing overnight...

[UpperLowercaseSymbolNumber]

My experience is that Lumea makes a clear notable difference to face/chin hair but doesn’t eliminate. Best on lighter skin and dark hair, not going to do anything on white hairs. There are regular deals on.

[waspfig]

Phew! I'm not the only one then

I suffer a triple curse - moustache, cheek fuzz and thick chin/neck hairs!

I use nair on dark haired upper lip, nair bleach on cheeks (which seems to weaken and break longer hairs) and epilator with facial setting on chin hairs. If I exfoliate a couple of times per week I only need to epilate maybe twice per week and tweeze the odd stray in between.

[silencebeforethebleeps]

Lumea doesn't do anything for me. I spend 10 minutes every day happily plucking away with a nice song or two in the background, it's quite relaxing actually.

[wondering7777]

I had an appointment with the midwife this afternoon and had to lie down on the table at one point. All I could think about was that I hadn't plucked my chin hairs for a while and that they were now in full view!

I'm not sure Pig Fluff is any more attractive to be honest

[TheMasterBaker]

I'm in my early 30's and have been having to pluck out 2 stupid, stubborn hairs since I was pregnant with my DS at 29! Bastard things, come through so spiky and mank. I keep thinking about electrolysis?

[TheMasterBaker]

I have bastard cheek fluff too, soft and downy, I forget to get rid of it, look in the mirror with the light shining on it and I look like a downy duckling!

[CollaterlieSistersSister]

Shaving here, (and mid-40s) also. Except when there’s a long thick one that escaped the blade, then I’m a tweezer-er.

Btw, my hairiness has hugely increased since using The Ordinary buffet. A known side effect apparently.

Nicer skin, more shaving. I’ll take that trade off.

[SalemShadow]

I get it too. Always notice when I'm at work and no tweezers around

[Emeraldshamrock]

I'm place marking to read later.
Me too.
I plucked mine today they're fair but strong I think they're embedded in my jaw.
I used a makeup mirror my chin looked like a wizard.

Not read everything but this may be of interest (& hear you and very sorry - I am the same) :(www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/3549266-face-hair-in-tears-and-pic-included

[theoriginalmadambee]

But we are still adorable - basta! Have a pig/pick who you identify with .

[MepsiPax]

Than god it's not just me! I've resorted to shaving mine off at times,I get so sick of plucking every few days. I'm very fair skinned,with blonde hair,and body-wise,am as un-hairy as they come. Except for the bastard chin hairs. Never known hair to grow so bloody fast. Every 3 or 4 days,they're back. I'm told that they're barely visible,but I can FEEL them! All stubbly and horrible.

[HappydaysArehere]

I have had two beauty therapists tell me that I shouldn’t pluck them. They said it makes the hairs thicker. I was told to snip them! My friend has an electric gadget which pulls them out. Probably like A Braun one I had years ago. Been snipping mine for years but it is dead annoying.

[KatherineJaneway]

I use Tweezermans. Get the hairs at an early stage compared to normal tweezers.

[VanyaHargreeves]

I just got a spring epilator today.

It's a good day hair wise and I don't have much - there is some

Doesn't seem to be doing anything much - am I doing it right?

[NightDreaming]

How on earth do people tweezer them without getting spots??? Mid 30s here and my chin is a furry spotty mess. I want to cry.
Intrigued by Lumea though, never heard of it before.

[ScreamedAtTheMichelangelo]

I’ve found my people. I use a no no or tweeze the bastards. The worst is when you can feel them edging in and they rasp, but they’re too short to pluck. Stop it!!!!

[daisychicken]

What exactly is a no no?
