How do I get rid of darkening chin hairs?

Moooooveover · 28/07/2021 14:21

So over the last year I began noticing my chin has been appearing fuzzier and hairs getting darker and thicker.
I’m currently 3 months pregnant however looking to find a solution until I can look to do permanent removal.
Can anyone recommend the best way of getting rid of this fuzziness for the time being? I’m feeling very billy goats gruff.

Dermaplaning, you can buy dermaplane tools on Amazon, ebay etc. Excellent at defuzzing. Easy to do yourself, no chemicals. There are loads of tutorials to watch online Smile

Dermaplaning is just shavings more feminine sounding friend, it's not permanent.
Have them Lasered. You have 6 sessions (possibly more depending on if that sees them off), it feels like a rubber band getting flicked on your skin. Hairs gone. Boom. I haven't shaved my legs in years cos I got them Lasered. I did it with through a discount website (might have been Wowcher) so it wasn't even very expensive but the clinic had a good reputation. What a great decision that was. I also reduced my bikini line and underarm, but I need to have more than the 6 sessions for those areas as my hairs there are more stubborn. 6 sessions is nothing to never see a hair again though.

I paid less than £100 and that was for legs, underarm and bikini line. Just the chin isn't going to break the bank.

I was told that it’s best to do laser once you’ve finished with children because a change in hormones can encourage the growth back so I’ve been holding off. I’m dying to do it though so I can just be shot of it all!

I’ve had laser on my legs, which worked amazingly, and my chin. Chin hairs keep coming back and I assume it is hormonal. I’ve given up on the laser now and get them threaded every three weeks when I get my eyebrows done.

Pluck the thicker darker hairs - risking stubble if you shave/dermaplane them is a bad idea.

But for fine, pale hair them yes dermaplne/gentle shaving is probably the best way to cover the time until you see if it all goes away spontaneously after childbirth

It you could try facial depilation cream, but patch test first
