Face fluff - how to get rid?

[HeyMacWey]

I'm talking about the downy fluff not the dark stragglers that stick out indiscriminately.

Just caught sight of my reflection in the bright winter sunlight and noticed that I have side burns coming half way down my face with thick downy fluff.

I thread myself but it would take forever to do this much coverage.

Any ideas? Or is it just a winter coat that will miraculously disappear in spring time?

I use an epilator.

Ooh good idea - what's the regrowth like?

I'd go for threading. Must dig out my loyalty card and get myself defluffed and eyebrowed this weekend....

There was a big face fluff thread recently

Thanks for the link - can identify with the image of a golden retriever in the sunlight look!

I've since used dh's beard trimmer on the down to get it to a manageable length and will get cracking with the threading - will have to do it over a few days as my arms will ache to much!

Regrowth is the same fluff. I have one or two monster buggers on my chin that I do with tweezers. For the epilator I usually do it once every 3-4 weeks. Don't have time to go for threading.

I use a Mini epilator bought for £20 on Amazon - it's painful but very effective.

An Epistick from Amazon will sort you out. Only a couple of quid, there is a bit of a knack to it but it is really easy.
