Does anyone wax their own top lip? If so, any tips and what do you use?

I did, but hurts like hell so now I use veet type cream which works fine.

Thanks am beginning to change my mind. it hurts when someone else does it - think I'll go back to cream.

Yes. I use the Veet strips. You have to act REALLY fast and keep the strip as close to your skin as possible as you pull - pull across, not up.

Immediately afterwards press a piece of cotton wool soaked in icy cold water onto your top lip. The blood vessels will move away from the surface of the skin and the pain will ease quicker and the redness will vanish quickly.

I must have a hide like an elephant because I wax (veet strips) and it doesn't hurt.
