Painless Ways To Get Rid Of Unwanted Facial Hair

For many women, facial hair removal is just something they’d rather not talk about. Nor is it a topic that the online makeup and skincare tutorials dwell on for too long, either. One day you notice that you’ve acquired some subtle facial hair, and it seems like you’re all on your own and not quite sure how to deal with it. The good news is it’s not just you, and the even better news is that there are many safe ways for removing facial hair. You can try dermaplaning or plucking with tweezers until you find a method that works for you. Read on to learn about the other options for facial hair removal.

Caring For Your Skin Before And After Hair Removal

Prepping your skin before you attempt to remove any stray hairs is a crucial step. Cleaning your skin helps reduce the likelihood of cuts, but there is no unique way of doing this. The objective is to remove all makeup, skin impurities and buildup from your face. Use a warm flannel and micellar water or your favourite cleaner. Wipe your face clean as you would do just before bed, and once you’re happy all traces of makeup are gone, you are ready for hair removal.

Facial Hair Removal Options

#1. Using Tweezers

Tweezers are a woman’s best friend for plucking the odd errant eyebrow hair or for putting on false eyelashes. Tweezers are also one of the best tools for removing unwanted facial hair with speed and precision. Although you can’t attack a mass of hair with tweezers, they give you more control when picking off a stray chin hair. It’s simply a matter of holding your skin taut, bringing the tweezers into play and plucking – it’s that easy.

#2. Use Your Eyebrow Razor

Shaving your face isn’t just a man’s thing; women can do it too. Instead of using the bigger razors men typically use, try using your eyebrow razor. It’s usually a bit smaller, just the right size for shaving facial hair. If you don’t already have one of these, you can find them in any beauty store, and they offer a pain-free and quick way to remove excess hair. You’ll also find that your foundation goes on more evenly when you shave your face to remove peach fuzz.

#3. Dermaplaning

The first two options are simple DIY methods to be used at home. Dermaplaning, on the other hand, is a mechanical exfoliation method that uses a surgical blade or scalpel. This is a job for an experienced aesthetician.

The process is similar to shaving in a way, but it involves running the sharp blade across your face at an angle. Dragging the edge across your face removes a fine layer of skin and the fine hairs with it. Dermaplaning is not only perfect for removing these hairs, but it also stimulates the production of collagen and new skin cells. The result is a firmer, youthful-looking and smoother face. When you undergo this treatment, you’re essentially killing two birds with one stone – you eliminate unwanted hair while rejuvenating your skin.

Always apply a skin-soothing product following dermaplaning and use an SPF30 sunscreen before heading outside.

#4. Hair Removal Cream

The facial hair that is most difficult to remove using the three methods above is found around your upper lip. One advantage of hair removal cream is that you won’t cut yourself. It works by affecting the protein structure of the hair, practically turning it to mush. Creams or lotions are perfect for removing peach fuzz, too. You just apply, wait and then rinse off to reveal the smooth skin left behind.

#5. Waxing

Waxing is the least fun way of removing unwanted hairs as it involves ripping them out with force. This method works perfectly for eyebrows, upper lip areas, and other body areas, and you will remain hair-free for longer, as waxing rips the hairs out by the roots.

A word of caution: if you use retinol products in your skincare regime, you should stop at least five days before waxing. Retinol thins out the skin, so there is a risk that you could tear the skin during waxing.

Final Words

Getting rid of unwanted facial hair is easy, and there are many different methods you can use. If waxing is a little painful for you, then perhaps hair removal cream is a better option.
