Do you bleach your mustache and is bleaching arm hair a step too far?

I'm very pale and very hair which is great for eyelashes, head hair and eyebrows but terrible for everything else and my hair is dark so I'm considering using joleon hair lightening cream on my arms, anyone else tried this?

I used to bleach my arms but hated the regrowth and the hassle. I've now had them lasered. I was worried that they would look too bald too but actually they're fine. I know I shouldn't be bothered about having hairy arms but I really was. If you're really hairy it's very different to just a bit imo.

No! I just let it do what it's meant too bleach is not going anywhere near me

Bleached hair on body or face looks awful imo

I used to have quite a lot of hair on my forearms and I loved it. Now I am menopausal it's gone, along with most of my other body hair.

I miss it 😢

Ok, I'm interested in this lumea thing...I'm always reading that hair must be dark for it to work. So that means my tash would have to be dark before I could use it? Also...what about the regrowth- its going to grow back dark isn't it? I just don't see a way round that!?

Yes, it only works on dark hair. But you can keep shaving because it doesn't need to be long. So it won't show. I love my lumea , I didn't think it would work but it did.

My arm hair goes blonde in the sun and I remember as a teen bleaching it to replicate the look. Looked ok but my hair is v fine so I doubt anyone else noticed.

Tache- get it threaded if it bothers you. Blonde hair on your upper lip is just as noticeable as dark.
