Facial hair! how to get rid of them?

[Magnolia]

Hi everyone;

I have blond facial hair and nobody notices them but I'm a very antihair person and simply can not stand them!
I have very sensitive skin and have tried waxing them off before but it even made the problem worse cause I broke out!
I have heard that shaving the face would be good soloution and at the same time some people say it's not an appropriate way for facial hair removal.
What do you think???? would you please share your ideas with me?
Thanks!

Omg DO NOT SHAVE your facial hair unless you want to look like a man...
Your facial hair can become rough and thick when they grow back if you shave them...have you tried threading them or using a hair removal cream...?

have tried both! You know, I just like to put my make-up on a smooth surface and that is the only reason I don't like facial hair. fortunately they are blond and no one can see them but I know they are there!!!
I really wish I could do something about them...

I would recommend going to get it waxed at a salon. They know what they are doing, and they put on a lotion afterwards to prevent breaking out.

Hello Magnolia! Well first of all, don't worry. I am sure you are not the only one with this problem. There are many products out there which a specially made for very sensetive skin. I too have sensetive skin and when i used Nads wax, i broke out with a rash. However, i recently used Veet Warm Wax Jar and it didn't make me break out. In fact it made my skin extreamly smooth and soft.

As horse_luver said, a salon does know best too.

If you do plan to wax, make sure you put talcum powder on the area you are going to wax beforehand.

Yes I've tried Nad for my upper lip area and I broke out whereas veet was really good.

Hi All,
Erm..Ever heard of IPL-Intense Pulse Light? It can be done at beauty saloons. It can PERMANENTLY remove any unsightly hairs(body,facial) and not only that,it is also used to help lighten freckles and pigmentation. You may need about 3sessions to see the result. What you get at the end is smoother satin skin. There are many such treatments at affordable prices done by professionals over here in Singapore. I am not sure whether it applies elsewhere. Hope this helps.

The first time I got a wax, I broke out, but I've been doing it every six weeks for nearly a year now, and every time you do it, it hurts less and you do not break out. I think I only broke out the first two (maybe three) times.
