Hairy face, hairy arms help!!

[Blossom4538]

Best way to deal with hair arms and slight moustache please!!

I’m using one of those bendy, springy things to remove facial hair currently and have decided I hate my hair arms!

I shave my arms. Have done since I was about 20. It's great. I have to do it every second day (ideally every day) but it takes me seconds in the shower and has hugely improved my confidence.

No doubt lots of people will come along and tell you that body hair is natural etc etc and I agree, but the fact remains that society judges women who are hairier than is acceptable and I was tired of being judged.

Shave your arms, loads of women do. Get a facial razor to defuzz your face.

Or you could get your face threaded? I used to get so offended when my eyebrow lady asked ‘top lip too?’ But last time I was in I had a mask on the whole time and she still asked so I presume she’s just up selling rather than hinting that I look like Tom Selleck.

For the arms probably shaving is the way to go. I wouldn’t fancy waxing them.

I use a man's razor one of those Gillette ones with the swivel head, I find it better than a lady shave and in the shower only takes a second.

I was about 30 when the penny dropped you could shave arms as well as legs. I only need to do it about once a fortnight.

I shave face and arms about once a week, I use an electric razor. Takes a couple of minutes to do the job.

For your face I recommend electrolysis. Any other type of laser hair removal on your face will likely stimulate hair growth. For your arms, I would have just normal laser. I've done both and it is amazing! I shave my legs and arms maybe once every 5 months if that! And there are sparce hairs that are light and thin. Best of luck!

I bought an IPL machine a few years ago - it was genuinely life changing. Cost about £250 at the time, but it has meant I haven’t had to worry about facial hair, armpit or leg hair for about 10 years. Did it once a month for about 4/5 months and then a few top ups after that if ever I noticed a stray hair. It makes me sad to think how much time I wasted feeling self conscious and how many times I’d go out and notice in the car mirror that I had a hair sprouting out of my chin

You shave in between times rather than pluck or wax, as you want to keep the root intact (the light pulse kills the hair root), so no annoying regrowth to hide either.

I shave my arms as I have very thick noticeable hair on my arms. I wax my moustache.
