Who has to deal with a moustache - and how do you do it????

[Milliways]

Have decided that my moustache can no longer be ignored. (I have pale skin & v. dark hair which is now growing in unwanted top lip places!)

SO....

do I shave it (stubble?), wax it? (do you get ingrown hairs?), bleach it? pretend it's normal??

What do you lot do? And once I start, how often will I have to re-do whatever I do????

Yours hairily

Ouch Charliecat

I used the Veet strip - it went a bit red but all gone now (few hours later). What did you use? Was it specially for face??

Long time ago I used to use Jolen bleach til some stupid boy at school pointed out that I was only making my tache more visible by bleaching it white when I am really dark haired with v pale skin!! Mortified to say the least

I now use Veet wax strips (box of about 12) they last me ages cos I use each one twice. Usually lasts about 3/4 weeks only problem is when its started growing back but not enough to wax. Oh those car mirrors in the winter sunshine are EVIL!!

I would seriously recommend electrolysis. I only had to have 3 or 4 sessions and its gone for good. OK it is painful, but honestly if you have gone through childbirth it is nothing! And it only lasts a couple of seconds. Please don't shave, I have heard so many stories from beauticians about women who have ended up with full blown hairy chests etc just from shaving a few dark hairs in the beginning.

Strips for face, wax away or something.

thanks vanilla

did you scar with the electrolysis???

No scarring. I've had it done on my stomach and chin too and fine. You need to go with someone experienced and reputable though.
