I usually thread!

Lockdown 1 was ok as my hair is lighter in summer but this time round not so much!

Advice please!

You can buy specific facial bleach from supermarkets, which might give you a similar effect to the sun.

Atm looking like Tom Selleck so following

Illuminated magnifying mirror and tweezers 😬. I did look at facial waxing strips in the supermarket the other day but being stuck in a mask all day I don’t think I could cope with the itching if I had a reaction to it and my skin is really sensitive at the moment.

Tweezers and a Hoolywood browser

Wax, takes seconds

I shave. Sounds awful but really isn't. Takes about 4 seconds in the shower each morning.

Veey wax strips

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 22/01/2021 18:34

FFS, veet

Lostinacloud · 22/01/2021 18:34

Those supermarket small facial wax strips are really easy to use and do a really good job

ATowelAndAPotato · 22/01/2021 18:34

Phillips lumea - even after 1 treatment the difference in my top lip was remarkable. Chin hair being more stubborn though!

RandomGrammarPun · 22/01/2021 18:35

Wax strips. Same as the last twenty odd years Grin

Facial hair removal cream

wowfudge · 22/01/2021 18:37

Veet wax strips. Very satisfying to whip the hairs off.

ThatVeganFeminist · 22/01/2021 18:38

Wax strips and tweezers for the stubborn ones like I always do!

mintbiscuit · 22/01/2021 18:38

Shave. Seriously easy. Doesn’t grow back thicker. No idea why more women don’t do this tbh.

Fayej777 · 22/01/2021 18:42

I use the JML hair remover which you can get from Boots. Takes seconds and is painless

curtaincalll · 22/01/2021 18:52

Superdrug bikini and face wax strips. Best ones out there. Use once a month or so. Takes minutes.

badnews21 · 22/01/2021 18:53

Thank you - really appreciate the replies! Will give wax strips a go!

How is waxing if you have a propensity for ingrown hairs?

pinkyboots1 · 22/01/2021 18:54

I use one of these spring things and then go over any missed ones with tweezers. The first couple of times I used it was eye watering but the hair is finer and pulls out better now.
I react to chemicals and waxs etc

So neat are you all doing about upper lip hair?

Someone mentioned Hollywood Browzer and I absolutely second that. I got the recommendation from here and it's changed my life. I use it every 4 days

badnews21 · 22/01/2021 18:55

@pinkyboots1 I saw that but it looks too complicated for me 😅

Philips Lumea. Any stubborn ones get whickered away with tinkle razor.
