What do you do with your upper lip?

[bigbabycooker]

I have started to see a few more dark hairs on my upper lip in my thirties than in my twenties.

Is there anyone who could advise me on how best to reduce, hide or get rid?

Sometimes I curl it with disdain.

I tweeze any dark/thick ones and then just shave the rest

@Yetisrus I have waxed for the last 25 years. It's always a relief when I get the top lip done.

Again dark hair. So I hot wax.

This is the best way!

You can get those razors for women's facial hair where you don't use shaving foam and they're brilliant. Don't wax, it breaks a lot of people out in spots when done on the face.

I use these types. Not this specific brand, but this as opposed to a razor you shave your legs with.

Just searched on Amazon and found the brand. I order from Amazon Spain, but I'm sure you can get these through AmazonUK. They're really good.

l had full laser hair removal. Would highly recommend it

Threading is the cleanest and longest lasting way to clear it

Dermablade with those little Korean blades.

I thread mine, the best thing my mum taught me to do!

A quick shave with my tinkle razor

Shave or pluck.

Threading.Painful for a few minutes but,
the best solution by far.

I'm currently having electrolysis on my chin and lip. The lip is more painful than the chin.

I get my lip/chin waxed or threaded when I get my eyelashes and brows dyed each month. Best beauty money I spend!

Initially, Phillips Lumea to zap it. This seems to have minimised it but I think the Lumea was starting to alter my skin colour in that area, so now I just have to use a little tinkle razor. Chin hairs get plucked.

I shave. Small, electric ladies shaver that doesn't need foam or anything, very close shave, very easy and cheap. I do it every morning, without fail.
Everything else is either too expensive or too painful for me. Bleaching is a waste of time, it doesn't get rid of the solid wiry hairs.

Springy thing that noone can remember the proper name for.

Its v cheap, can do on any length of hair, can do any part of my face and unlike waxing it doesn’t leave me with a sore red rash.

I tried threading my upper lip (which is great for my eyebrows) but my skin reacted.

That springy whirly thing is quite good

It does hurt and if you’ve thick hair it might be too painful.

Is electrolysis permanent? Everything I’ve read says you need to repeat it every 6months or year and only after a few treatments is it really permanent.

I think the best option depends upon how much hair you have and how obvious it is.

If it is fairly fine and short bleach is a pretty good option to make it less obvious, especially if you have fair skin.

If is thicker or longer you might need to remove by the root. I wouldn't wax, it is too harsh on the skin. I certainly wouldn't shave due to stubble.

Threading is brilliant and cheap if you can find a good practitioner or do it yourself. Pretty eye watering but quick and doesn't irritate the skin. I used to have it done regularly but I can't find anyone where I live now.

I epilate now which is really quick and easy. I run the epilator over like an electric razor and use tweezers for any tough to get at hairs.

I am considering electrolysis for my chin though as I find the hairs show before they are long enough to tweeze and laser doesn't work on hormonal hair growth.

Then you just have a blonde moustache 🤷🏻‍♀️
I wax it. Very quick and easily done at home and lasts much longer than shaving.

Threading, I prefer it to waxing as it doesn't pull the skin so much and also you don't get left with a totally bald patch. It's gradually reduce the hair.

Have vaguely considered lasering the dark ones, but never got round to it

Avoid electrolysis, I tried it for a couple of dark ones ages ago and got left with a tiny scar which took years to fade out.

Threading is a bit painful but it's v quick. Take a couple of nurofen the first time if you have a low pain threshold.
