I don't care about the light peach fuzz just the darker few. I tried waxing and that was a disaster, my sensitive skin was angry for quite a while. So, I bleach and hate it. I did recently try to lightly epilate and target just the darker few hairs but my skin didn't like that much either, I still have a rash. Anyone have a better solution for upper lip hair removal on super sensitive skin? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/womens-facial-hair/page/2#post-1608808 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 02:24:40 +0000 elpgal 1608808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pregnancy was my downfall.

My upper lip, too. The hair is almost transparent, so I used not to mind, but it's gotten thicker in my 30s.</p> <p>Now I tweeze the chin hair and trim or wax the lip hair. I just started practicing threading on myself but haven't gotten good at it yet. I get fewer ingrown hairs and bumps from that than waxing.</p> <p>I rarely do anything with my (invisible) eyebrows but they do look better when I get them shaped. I like full eyebrows but mine are sort of poorly defined, so cleaning up the edges makes them look fuller, in a way I like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/womens-facial-hair/page/2#post-1608637 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 21:53:58 +0000 Caro in Oz 1608637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aziraphale - I could have written your post word for word before I let my hair go grey.

Here in India, salon hair removal treatments are inexpensive. 90% of women wax their arms and legs, and almost everyone gets 'threading' for their eyebrows and upper lip. (The aesthetician uses a thread to pluck out all hair from upper lip and chin and gives shape to brows ; removing extras) I know a lot of women who wax the 'peach fuzz' too. </p> <p>I am naturally less-hairy so don't wax anything. I find it too painful. I chose to shave my legs and arms (once in a while). However, I do get my eyebrows shaped. I don't have any hair on my upper lip as yet. My sister, on the other hand, gets full body waxing once a month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/womens-facial-hair#post-1608484 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 15:29:06 +0000 texstyle 1608484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A really good magnifying mirror is a wonderful thing. I have blonde hair but have always had a soft mustache and stray hairs along the chin line, etc. It's weird that I get a few dark hairs among the blonde.&nbsp; So I tweeze what bothers me and leave the rest. I have to trim my eyebrows regularly even though they aren't thick, they will grow long if I don't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/womens-facial-hair#post-1608482 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 15:21:20 +0000 Aziraphale 1608482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NauticalVulpine, I do get hairs one the backs of the first knuckle on my toes. It's blond though, so hard to see. I might think about removing it if it was black. But no, I don't think it's that weird -- like Alexandra says, hair growth patterns are genetic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/womens-facial-hair#post-1608471 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 14:48:14 +0000 Alexondra Marie 1608471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think facial hair has a lot to do with genetics. I can go weeks without shaving my legs and the growth is hardly noticeable. All my life my arms have had a very minimal amount of hair on them to the point of needing to look closely to see a hair pattern. But my chin hair can get a little out of hand. I'm 24 and it started showing up around 18. I used to wonder why my mother would pluck her chin so much, and now I'm never without a pair of tweezers. I've only plucked out the chin hairs, which can get painful and may be the reason for chin acne, but I can usually go a month or so, then I need to pluck again. Genetics are a funny thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/womens-facial-hair#post-1608455 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 13:57:56 +0000 Anonymous 1608455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Menopause. The hair on top of your head may thin out but it appears on the face in places it never grew before...first dark and later white. I've had to be vigilant. Leg hair has pretty much stopped. I'm told that hair does not grow where there is poor circulation. Hair on toes is a good sign. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/womens-facial-hair#post-1608447 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 13:44:35 +0000 Anonymous 1608447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am obsessed with keeping my upper lip clean. There is nothing quite like seeing yourself in the rear view mirror of your car in sunlight one day and seeing a few rogue dark hairs . &nbsp;Easy, and takes me all of 5 minutes every month or so. &nbsp;I'll go at the fine hair above and around the ends of my eyebrows too every once in awhile . &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/womens-facial-hair#post-1608437 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 13:19:12 +0000 Janet 1608437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah, I have this. I had semi-unibrow as a kid and learned to pluck my brows when I started high school. I also trim the brow hairs, which grow pretty wild if I don't. I barely pluck eyebrows anymore since the hairs are not growing back at the rate they used to.</p> <p>I pluck stray darker/coarser hairs whenever I find them and laughed in sympathy with those of you who have been horrified to realize you had been cultivating a long hair -- I have literally run for the tweezers a couple of times, and keep a set in my little necessities pouch in my handbag (I don't know why, maybe harsh outdoor lighting, but I always seem to find these hairs while out in my car). </p> <p>However I've never embraced the waxing thing. My skin has not reacted well to anything like that in the past, and I'm not starting now. I have the very fine light peach fuzz thing on my face, and it's so hard to define where it begins and ends that I think treating part of it may ultimately end up drawing more attention to it, much like my friend who bleaches above her lip, which ends up making the hairs lighter but they still stand out against her olive skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/womens-facial-hair#post-1608405 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 11:10:28 +0000 lisaflex 1608405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>brows get waxed every 3 - 4 wks...upper lip wax every 3 - 4 weeks...lots of plucking of chin area&nbsp;</p> <p>not to mention monthly bikini waxes...lol..expensive stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/womens-facial-hair#post-1608401 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 11:03:37 +0000 Anonymous 1608401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had a few long hairs on my chin lately, one was about 2 inches long, I was mortified.

Could be age or could be diabetes (which definitely made my hair get curly) or epiladying. Anyways tried doing my eyebrows maybe twice until I realised they weren't growing back. My legs now only grow about five hairs each, which I do remove because that's weird. In my teens/twenties I did have bit of mustache and sideburns, lol... and arm<br /> hair, as well as leg hair and a few hairs on my fingers. I took it all off. I felt like I kinda looked like a teenaged boy trying to grow a beard, scraggly - only not on the chin. Also my hair is black and I was paler when I was younger, so there was a zebra effect. Never took to waxing because it can rip the layers of your skin apart. </p> <p>Oh, and I used to get like two hairs on my big toes. Also removed. I find it too weird to have just one hair growing out of some body part, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/womens-facial-hair#post-1608366 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 07:05:33 +0000 NauticalVulpine 1608366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the smallest non visable hairs on the sides of my face and upper lip. I tried shaving once, ill never do that again. My skin is too easily irritated. But it was nice while it lasted. My eyebrows are borderline unmanageable at times. I just do what i can to keep it from becoming a unibrow. My hormones are all weird and i feel like i have more hair than most women. I can bearly keep my legs hairless for a whole day.

Thus, I began plucking, then my parents caught me and I got in trouble. I kept plucking anyway, just not in a place i could get caught. Eventually the hair stopped growing. Now i have the long hair that grow by the each aide of my lips. I just pluck. Several years ago I found a 2 inch hair growing out of my chin. I was mortified and scolded my husband for not telling me. His excuse was his vision and the inability to see it. Now I check but do not get as upset as I&nbsp;used to.
