Waxing

I use waxing frequently for my upper lip hair. That hair didn't bother me during my teenage years but since having roommates and boyfriends in college I've grown more self-conscious. I found waxing as the most effective way to remove my upper lip stubble.

Once I did try doing laser hair removal on my upper lip. It wasn't very painful. The laser would shoot a cooling gel right after the laser itself. My skin would be red for about a half hour but it wasn't that bad. And because most of my upper lip hair is so lightly colored, the laser hair removal didn't work as effectively as I would have liked. So I continue to wax it off every so often. Maybe once a month. And I usually use Micro Tweeze (pictured above). You just warm it up in the microwave and spread it on, wait a few seconds, then rip it off real fast. Simple! Hair grows back after about a week. So it's only a temporary solution.

Hair Everywhere

Well, let's face it. We all have hair everywhere. Hard to admit but it's true. As we grow older, more hair shows up in places we don't want it to appear. It happens to males and females. Nobody wants it. It just shows up. Sad truth.

When I was younger, I wanted to get rid of my hairy legs, as a teenager and started the forever process of shaving. It would shave off my hair for about a week's time but no longer than that. It was frustrating to have to shave every single week or sometimes more often. It was a vicious cycle!

As I grew older, I learned about waxing from some friends. I've tried waxing my facial hair, mostly my upper lip, and it seems to work for a while but same thing... It always comes back after a week or so.

So what is the solution to this never-ending madness??
