Upper Lip Hair Removal - best option?

34 replies

AntoniaB21 · 21/03/2021 14:58

I have recently become very self conscious of my upper lip hair - I am blonde, but the hair seems to be just that little bit more noticeable at the moment due to my pale skin.

What is the best way to remove this? I was initially thinking waxing, but in a review of the product I was going to buy, a woman was left with a sore/scabby upper lip so I was immediately put off of buying that!
Any ideas or recommendations as to what method/product is best?
Also, I’m a bit worried about stubbly/darker regrowth - will the hair texture or colour change once I start removing it? Definitely don’t want to bleach though , as I fear that will make it even more noticeable!

Another vote for eyebrow razors. I have sensitive skin and they don't cause me any irritation.

I used the veet strips once and reckon I ripped the bejaysus out of my upper lip...you'd hear my scream for miles. Convinced I damaged nerves 😟. Also on the prowl for a pain free alternative!

Veet strips, grit your teeth, pull skin taught and rip off. Yes it hurts for like 2 seconds but it's doable

I use the very sensitive facial strips. I warms them slightly in my hand and keep the skin taught. Never had any issues with scabbing

I also have super sensitive skin

I just bleach mine using Jolen or Boots own brand equivalent.

Women's facial razors. The easiest method I've ever found and the gentlest too.

Hollywood Browser. It's brilliant. I can't believe I used to put myself through the torture of threading. This is a million times easier and so handy to just do it yourself at home. I need to use it about every 2 weeks or so.
