I've just used Nair on my top lip. It's done the job, it's got rid of the few hairs that I swear are getting darker with age but..

It's gone very fucking red. It stings like a motherbitch and I have a job interview today.

What can I do to make redness go away? and to make it not feel like my face is going to split in two everytime I grimace smile.

I'm such a twat.

Oh dear

Calamine lotion?

Then you will have a pretty, pink, feminine 'tache.

Ice? Bag of frozen peas?
Good luck with interview.

Cool it down with ice wrapped in a cloth. Don't suppose you have any aloe vera gel knocking around in a cupboard?

Yes im currently soothing the soreness with the back of a cold spoon!

aloe vera gel
sudocrem may work too

You narner doing it on the day!

No aloe vera gel but I have got a plant...

Ironic that the job interview is in a specialist hair and beauty shop!

I would say it needs more rinsing if it's still stinging.

Get a bowl of cool water and soak your face in it for a bit (being careful not to breathe in / laugh too much of course like I am while typing this )

After that do you have any Aloe Vera gel to soothe it?

Oh x-post about the Aloe.

applying an opened stem from the plant will work. ( I have done this with bites and burns and it does soothe - honestly - but definitely needs rinsing first)

it wasn't too bad until I put some veet finishing cream on it that had been knocking about in the back of my cupboard for several years. Only looked at the expiry date when my lip burst into flames.

I cut a bit of the leaf (at an angle so it grows nicely still) and bash it with a rolling pin - then apply the mush/juice to your lip.

I did the same the other week - felt like acid on my face ANF it was the sensitive Nair!

AND

I can't use any hair removal cream, they bring me out in a terrible rash. I use one of those mini epilators for my top lip.

It's not so bad now, I've got my makeup on just looks like ive been snogging someone with stubble!

Good luck with your interview, Ferret.

Thank you! I don't interview well. On paper i'm excellent but then they actually meet and talk to me and soon change their minds...

Good luck!

My Dad always says "Enjoy it. It's not often you get the chance to talk about yourself for 40 minutes"

I always get brain freeze at interviews and a very dry throat . Good luck Ferret

Calamine cream is brilliant for this kind of thing. I did the same, last week and I wouldn't mind so much but the bastard hair remover didn't even get rid of all the hair!

Tea tree oil.

Bahahahaha! The flower comment was BRILLIANT! Though I agree, maybe not for an interview
