What is the best way to deal with my moustache?

[FishFingerInjury]

My moustache is getting out of control and I need to do something about it.

I had a bit of a hair removal disaster with veet last month which resulted two red lines where the hair was plus the odd hair that didn’t succumb to the chemicals. I used the sensitive stuff but not the specific face stuff.

I’d like something I can do myself so would rather not go down the threading route.

What are my other options? What works for you?

I found the professional dermatologist laser amazing on legs, scrappy on bikini, shit on lip, ok on beard.

Salon laser Groupon ok on legs. Shit everywhere else.

I'm now using home electrolysis on my remaining face hairs.

I've just got the JML Finishing Touch flawless and I really like it. It's really gentle, No irritation

What colour is the hair? Mine is white blond (I have super pale skin too) so I can just cut it very short and often with a pair of curved nail scissors.

I buy eyebrow razors from Amazon and defluff my entire face. I've done so for about 2 years, and the hair grows back blonde and fine as before. I started as I heard it was an effective exfoliator, which it is and makeup/ skincare products sit much better.

My friend put me on to it as she has a slight moustache and is reactive to waxing/threading. She's been doing it for years, and again regrowth is not hairier/heavier than before

Learn how to thread it yourself . It's really easy to do unlike the brows where you have to be precise. All you need is thread !

Threading all the way for me! It’s easy to learn how to thread your own upper lip and there are loads of vids showing you how on YouTube. I thread my own between visits to get my threading (brows and tache) done professionally. Not all threading places are good so maybe try somewhere else?

Waxing your upper lip is much more harsh on your skin. I also got ingrown hairs and the odd tiny post wax spot from waxing but never from threading.

I bought the tweezerman bendy spring thing but didn’t love it.

I bleached for years before realising how crap it looked on me.

Hope you get it sorted!

Epistick! Cheap as chips, quick and easy. Like the one in Ruby's post.

I just shave tbh. I found the thing about it growing back thicker to be a myth. Been shaving for nearly two decades now. It’s painless, relatively easy, and only takes a few seconds.

I wax mine at home, that way I can keep on top of it by waxing any new growth as soon as it's long enough.

I buy body wax strips from Poundland and cut them into smaller sections. Heat with a hairdryer for about 10 seconds, press on then rip off against the direction of growth. Best thing I've ever found for the Tash.

Yes shaving for me too. I started with my dad's electric shaver after a hurtful comment in French class 32 years ago. I've been doing it around fortnightly ever since. Never had any redness, soreness or darker regrowth.

Professional wax here I get it done when I get my eyebrows done once a month done and dusted. Although to be fair my lip needs doing more than my eyebrows 😂 😂
Now that I am early fifties don’t get me started on my chin hairs they sprout up out of nowhere and grow really quickly. Also really spikey and I do tweezer those at home.
Definitely don’t tweezer your tash I did this on 4 or 5 hairs on one side once before deciding it was way too painful and resorted to waxing (these hairs grow back quicker darker and coarser than the rest of it). Some times I prickle the kids when giving them a kiss what an embarrassment.

Threading for me, and it doesn't have to be done as often as my eyebrows. Cheap, too: about £3.

Can anyone give me tips on using the springy thing, I've bought one for my fluffy peach fuzz under my jaw and I can't really get the knack of it! Many thanks!

I use a silkymit thing. It is like fine sandpaper and cheap. You have to make sure you go clockwise and anti-clockwise and takes about a minute. No redness after.

Epistick thing - cheap, easy, can do it at home (can hurt a bit though).

I thread myself or whip it off with a scalpel when I dermaplane my face

Following the advice of previous posters on S&B I bought a cream called Vaniqa from Pharmacy2U. I'm about six weeks into using it and it is making some difference. It isn't cheap but I thought I'd give it 6 months and see the effects.

I’ve ordered an epistick and will report back on that when it arrives.
