Getting rid of upper lip hair - how??

[Birdsaremyfriends]

I used to use cream but it irritates my skin now. Waxing at home never seems to work well. What else is there?

I use nail scissors. Ours have a slightly curved blade and I use it pointing out so I don't cut myself

I sit in bed and pluck away mindlessly with tweezers while I'm watching TV

£50 IPL machine from amazon. Mines completely gone now

Braun Lumea - expensive but I use it elsewhere too and now don't need to pay for waxing so it's paid for itself in the first year

Mirror and tiny scissors, once per week.

Waxing led to spots. I didn't bother with cream. But I don't like the moustache I'd get if I didn't trim the hairs, so yeah that's what I do.

Threading. Not entirely painless, but very effective and quick. I haven't learnt how to do it myself, when I get my brows done I ask her to do it at the same time.

One of those spring things that's rips all the hair out at the roots. Pretty painless when you get used to it, cheap and quick

Myself and daughters use these.
£15.

I use something similar to the one @Moier linked to. I got it in Primark for a few quid and it does the job surprisingly well.

Dermoplaning tool from Superdrug.

I also use something similar to @Moier and @DramaAlpaca .

Waxing/threading/springy thing - spots
Cream - skin irritation
Dermaplaner - too fiddly for round mouth area
IPL - too blonde
Bleach - blonde anyway and that absolutely does not render it invisible

Epilator with a facial attachment. Makes your eyes water a bit but done in 30 seconds

I am dark haired, so was able to have it lasered. Took a year of call backs, further and further spaced.
I was told it was like someone pinging an elastic band on you. It is not. It is like someone stubbing a cigarette out on you.
Having said that, I'd do it again.

Electrolysis. Simple and permanent solution, can't imagine why you would bother with anything else

I dermaplane with these: disposable razors

Takes about ten seconds after I brush my teeth each morning.

I occasionally let it grow out a bit (2 days 🙄) and pluck the really dark ones as it’s satisfying 😄

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I’ve had electrolysis over the years and I still have lip hair. I have it removed every three weeks by threading. I take paracetamol an hour before

I have mine waxed monthly with the beautician who does my eyebrows

I have pale olive skin and dark hair - bleaching renders my hair invisible. Waxing just breaks the hairs and phillips lumea didn't work for me.

Some great suggestions on this thread.

Tweezers?

I thought this was the norm?

Shave it

Cheap IPL off Amazon, and occasionally epilator. Much easier than using tweezers, gone in about 30 seconds.

They need to invent IPL technology for blonde/white hair 🥲

Same! I dermaplane once a week. Doesn’t grow back darker or thicker. Makes your skin so smooth - makeup (if you wear it) applies so much more nicely on the skin too. I’m very oily so generally need powder but when I had peach fuzz the powder would look quite obvious. For upper lip, just pull it taut and shave away!
