Lady Tash - How Do You Tame Yours?

[FurryLippedSquid]

It's not quite on a par with Nigel Farage's Enoch Powell look (yet), but I do get fed up with the fur that insists on growing on my upper lip. Over the years I've tried creams, waxing, electrolysis, shaving (yes!) and now I'm plucking.

Have I missed anything out?

I pluck daily but covet a Lumea. The price!!

I've tried just about everything but the wax strips seem to suit me best. It takes seconds and doesn't leave any redness. Only downside is the pathetically small number of post-wax wipes to strips ratio - why? Why do they think that's OK?

Boots' version of the Lumea for me after a few years of waxing. It's great!

I bought a lumea compact to use on my facial fuzz but I think it's been out of the box once. Must stop wasting money on things I think would be the best idea ever but the reality is I can't be arsed to use . I don't even think I have suitable hair and skin tone for the bloody thing to work.

I've been using boots facial hair removing cream for years. 5 mins in the bathroom, then wipes off clean.

The epi stick takes a bit to get the knack of, but when you've got it it works really well. I think I watched a video on YouTube

Have just purchased an epistick. I have dreadful amounts of chin hair. No tash, but I have a beard that needs more than tweezers.

Epi stick did nothing on me. I was using it correctly but nothing much happened. Anyway I use those eyebrow shaper things now. The Lilibeth of New York ones. The Shiseido ones were too sharp and made my face sore.

Is tash treatment one of those things that once you start, you have to keep doing? I'm fair but starting to get a bit Hairy McClary, but worried that once I start it's going to be another addition to the beauty regime (that I'm already pretty crap at)

Epi sticks are a form of torture and they don't always work! I'm using and having success with a combination of electrolysis and home ipl with a comfort lumea and at last it's going!

Carrie what's the Boots version of the Lumea called please?

I have tried almost everything on my beard but without a doubt the Phillips lumea is the best thing ever. I waited and waited to buy it and I'm now kicking myself I didn't get it before. It's the first time I haven't had to shave eveyday in nearly 20 years

Im lucky that although im fuzzy im blonde i just use wax strips every few weeks

Handmaids I think it's called SmoothSkin. The current version looks great, much quicker between flashes (mine is a 5sec wait between each which is a bit tedious). It's great though, I've now got hardly any leg, bikini or armpit hair.

Threading for upper lip and eyebrows - find it the least irritating for my skin and regrowth is relatively soft and fair. Have to get it done every 3-4 weeks. I tweezer my big bristly chin hairs - so satisfying.

Epistick is brilliant for fine fuzzy hair but won't deal with anything bristly, I still have to tweezer my stubborn chin hairs.

Philips lumea here. If you've had a life time of thick hairiness, then a lumea is what you need.

Is this the Smoothskin thing you have?

It looks bloody brilliant.

I got mine threaded in Superdrug of all places today. Am now the owner of a l9vely smooth lip. I have an epistick but threading serms to be much more efficient.

FurryLipped I thought it was just me who got that satisfaction from the painful pull out of the chin hairs! Very satisfying, and I also will them (it!) to grow just to pull it out

Jolen, jolen, jolen, jolen, I'm begging you please just bleach my tash....

Waxing, plucking or using a creame just gives me spots.

Lumea. Fab everywhere except legs where it's only mediocre (for me)

I misread this thread title and thought it said how do you name your tash So to answer that question, Frieda, like Kahlo.

Threading has sorted out my embarrassing facial hair issues. So much better than waxing.

Furry, mine's an even older version of that, but a similar price, has been marvellous!
