For most women that are approaching their forties tend to find that they are experiencing an increase in unwanted facial hair, due to hormonal changes. These hairs can even become coarse in your later years. Following are a few options that can be followed to help in removing them.
Waxing
It is usually best to use the waxing technique on the sides of your face and your upper lip. It doesn’t tend to have much effect for hair on the chin, as this is usually much coarser hair.
There is a chance that waxing may irritate your skin and leave it looking swollen. Most people tend to opt for salon treatment as opposed to home wax kits, as the results usually last up to 6 weeks.
Tweezers
These should only be used for eyebrow hairs, as they can lead to scarring on the rest of your face.
Depilatory Creams
These work by getting rid of the hair at the follicle. It is best to use this technique on body hair, as it can irritate more delicate skin.
Bleaching
It is possible to buy home bleaching kits for use on the facial area. This procedure is very effective for reducing the appearance of the hair.
Electrolysis
This method can be very costly and time consuming, and must be performed by an expert. You will find that this will last longer than using creams or waxing.
Laser Hair Removal
You should always consult a dermatologist before considering this procedure, and it must be performed by a nurse or a doctor. It is usual to have three treatments, six weeks apart, and then follow up treatment. This should lead to a reduction of at least fifty percent of your unwanted hair.
