It is undeniable that facial hair is a problem for everyone. I will admit it is a bigger deal for some people than others, though. You have at least one errant hair, though, no matter who you are. That is just a fact of life.
But if you’re like me, then plucking drives you crazy. I cannot even see the mirror through the tears in my eyes! However, facial hair creams scare me. I tried one when I was in high school and had a long red blister over my upper lip for a week. To be honest I probably would have preferred the girlstache…
Luckily hair creams have come a long way since high school. They used to smell awful and be full of harsh chemicals. Now using one is like aromatherapy. Of course, you will need to watch for the pitfalls.
Get the best results from facial hair removers by following these steps:
1. Always test first. Apply the cream to your wrist before you smear it on your face. If you notice burning or develop a rash then call a halt to the process. A small dab should be enough to test with.
2. Look for herbal components. You will need chemicals to melt hair away. Herbal extracts will help your skin recover quickly from this type of exposure. Heavy moisturizers and natural ingredients tend to make the facial hair removal process go more smoothly.
3. Pick something with a fragrance. You probably cannot forget the smell of that stinky stuff that was used to remove leg hair. That smell was definitely chemically based. Now you can eliminate the odor with a new fragrance. Lots of people have allergic reactions to strong chemical smells and this will prevent that. Select the scented stuff unless you can’t stand any type of artificial fragrance.
4. Do not do your entire face at once. Go easy when you are putting the cream on your face. Start with the eyebrow area. It is noticeably less sensitive than the upper lip area. If you have no trouble with your brows, then move on to the lip or chin area.
