Removing Facial Hair|

 
 


Depending on where the hair is located on the face various methods can be used. For men the most common way to remove facial is by shaving. It is easy, painless for the most part and fast enough to do when pressed for time. While shaving has these benefits, it is not without its drawbacks either.

Razor burn and bumps, ingrown hair and general irritability can occur with various types of skin and shavers. To lessen the effects shaving on a regular basis may have on skin, it is usually best to use a shaving gel with special moisturizers and an after-shave repair lotion before you apply after-shave.

But before you even begin to shave, moistening the face with hot water is a great way to prep the skin, and if you have some time you can try using hot towels on your face, or steaming your face for 5-10 minutes before you start as this will make the skin easier to work with and more co-operative with you choice of shaver.

If the facial hair to be removed is not a beard of any kind, shaving is not the greatest option. However, removing hair via means of pulling it out from the root may be more suitable. This can be done with tweezers and waxing.

Many women find that a combination of waxing and tweezing is great for the eyebrows, upper lip and even unwanted sideburns when first having this kind of facial hair removed and tweezing maintenance for lone hairs and hairs that grow out more quickly then the others.

Waxing and tweezing are great for longer-lasting hair removal as hair can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 8 weeks to grow back depending on how quickly your hair grows and which part of the body the hair was removed from.

Waxing, though not the most painless way to remove hair, is among one of the better ways since it exfoliates the surface layer of skin, and removing hair from the root causes hair to grow back lighter and more sparse because waxing will damage some hair roots.

That means that the more you wax is the less hair you will actually be pulling. And many women prefer to endure the pain a few times, especially around the bikini and underarm areas, to lessen the amount of body hair in the long term. Tweezing has the same effect to some extent however tweezing is not the best way for removing hair on a large area of the body.

But as with all other hair removing methods, it is advisable to use a hair repair lotion and moisturizers after every hair removing session, and in the case of waxing, try to keep the newly waxed area out of the sun for at least 12 hours, in any case it is best if you have waxing done a week before any special occasion as temporary redness, swelling and pinprick can occur. However if this is not possible don't forget to use sunscreen.

For the permanent removal of facial hair, electrolysis is a virtually painless way of removing hair permanently, however since only 30%-40% of hair is actually growing at any one point in time while the other hair follicles are in the resting stage, electrolysis requires several visits before all unwanted hair will be removed, and because electrolysis sessions are time consuming since hairs are removed individually, these sessions can last quite long and become quite costly.

Depilatory formulas, or products that remove hair by dissolving hair protein causing hairs to break off at the surface of the skin, work for some people. It is quick and easy to use and many people, especially women, find it more suitable for removing light facial hair on the cheeks, neck and forehead to get an ultra smooth look overall.

These areas usually do not take well to waxing or tweezing because of its sensitivity, but depilatories can seriously damage skin if the formula is too strong, if the formula is not mixed well, if the formula is left on the skin too long or if the material used to wipe off the formula irritates the skin.

Many people have suffered terrible burns, discoloration and scarring on the face as a consequence of using depilatories. Always test these creams on a small area of skin before applying to the entire area you wish to remove hair from.

Although this way to remove facial hair does not involve actually removing the hair, bleaching has been a skin-saving way for many people who have tried other methods that gave disastrous results.

Bleaching hair simply lightens the hair to such a skin matching color that it become significantly less noticeable, and since bleaching creams are among the most gentle and painless ways to get rid of unwanted facial hair, many people opt for this method. There are bleaching creams of varying strengths so that even the darkest hairs can blend in and become less noticeable.
