For generations, women have had to tolerate unwanted facial hair to some extent. To the extreme, there were circus sideshows and carnival touting their bearded ladies. Their full, luxuriant beards were the envy of their male counterparts. Lesser issues included the unsightly unibrows and embarrassing peach fuzz on upper lips. But guess what ladies? That was then and this is now!
As the saying goes, you’ve come a long way, baby. The rumors and myths that warned you that shaving your facial hair with your disposable razor or plucking it out would cause it to grow back darker and courser have been dispelled. Studies do, however, suggest that it does contribute to your facial hair growing back sooner.
Hair Removal
There are several possible solutions to your unwanted face and body hair today. Creams and depilatories are possibilities, but doesn’t the mess outweigh any advantage? Primarily used on your legs and bikini areas, waxing is another somewhat painful option for the removal of your unwanted hair. Shaving still offers yet another alternative. Are any of these really worth the effort when your dermatologist can offer a much more effective solution to your unwanted facial and body hair?
