Hairy beast

Please can I have suggestions for facial hair removal? It's getting me really down, I feel hideous! I pluck as much as I can but there are spaces that i can only see in certain lights. Away for a few days now & forgot my tweezers, it's hideous, I'm a hairy beast! For extra info I am overweight with pcos so guessing that's the cause but whilst I work on losing weight can I have some help please.

Ask your GP to prescribe Vaniqua cream.

Shave your face. If it doesn't look hairless (ie shows shadow) then wax it.

Laser is very effective if its dark hair on pale skin.

Do not shave your face ffs!

oh and i hear electrolysis is good but i havent tried it.

Electrolysis. I had an hour a fortnight for 2 years (yes it hurt) in my early 20s. I still remember the day I put my hair up for the first time, it felt amazing. Now I get the odd hair, but it’s really just 1 or 2 a month. Laser might be better, but it wasn’t well established 20 years ago. I had from my waist downlasered 10 years ago. That was money well spent too. My DH simply doesn’t believe that I was a gorilla before we met!

Sure why shouldn't the op shave her face? It's a total myth that it grows back thicker, surely if this were true men with thining hair would shave their head and grow a beautiful head of hair? Shaving your face could help op but you'd need to get it done professionally first as I'm sure there's a knack to it, I shave my tash area with a little battery operated facial trimming (like JML), best thing I ever did. No more rashes from creams, no more bleaching a hideous yellow/ginger tash. I do it as and when and it takes 2 seconds. I pluck that odd ones out but it's so much less hassle and I feel that it's given me freedom from worrying about it.

It's like this, the attachment next to it is so you can trim your eyebrows if the are fluffy! It's the best £10 I've spent. Like I say, don't fall for the crap about never shaving your face, it doesn't make you feel very feminine but then again nether does sprouting unsightly hair. I spent years bleaching, creaming, waxing etc and it was painful and usually didn't do a good job.

Thank you for the suggestions, I will look into options. For now, I'm home & reunited with my tweezers sighs

I've given up on tweezing the hairs under my chin so shave pretty much daily.
