Best - and least painful - way to remove moustache

6 replies

Can anyone tell me the best way to remove my unwanted moustache? I've been bleaching it for years which was fine but, as I've grown older, the hairs have become a bit coarser and more obvious. I'd just like to get rid of it altogether. Does waxing really reduce hair growth over time? I'm a bit scared of doing it myself but would go to a salon. Any other options that won't break the bank!

Threading. Some people say it hurts but I've always found it ok.

Otherwise, hair removal cream.

Threading, costs me £10 a time for full face including brows and tache. Bargain!

Yup, it stings, makes my eyes water, but pretty effective.

Waxing- ready waxed strips from Boots or similar. Last thing at night so rednes has gone in the morning. Not painfree but fast and soon over.

I use one of these www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Face-Removal-Facial-Hair-Free-Makeup-Facial-Hair-Spring-Bend-Remover-Tool-Women-/230989441307?pt=UK_Health_HairRemoval_RL&hash=item35c80b291b 99p on eBay. Actually I have several of them around the house. I run it over my lip while I'm watching Big Brother and it catches everything!

It's the best thing I've used. There are YT tutorials on proper use, but basically you just bend it and turn the handles inwards as you move it across your skin.
