Face it – facial hair is a problem for everyone. It certainly is a bigger deal for some people than others though. No matter who you are though, you tweeze at least one hair regularly. It is just a fact of life.

But if you’re like me, then plucking drives you crazy. I cannot even get a glimpse of the mirror through the tears in my eyes! However, facial hair creams scare me. I tried one when I was in high school and had a long red blister over my upper lip for a week. To be honest I probably would have preferred the girlstache…

Fortunately, hair removal creams have come a long way since high school. They used to smell awful and be full of harsh chemicals. Now most of them smell like a delightful aromatherapy treatment. Of course, you still need to be careful.

Get the best possible results from your facial hair removal by following these tips:

1. Always test first. Before you smear it on your face, try it on your wrist. If you break out or feel any burning, then stop the experiment. Using just a small dab of the cream should do the trick.

2. Keep an eye out for herbal ingredients. To “melt” hair away, you need chemicals. Herbal extracts will help your skin recover quickly from this type of exposure. Facial hair removal will go more smoothly if the product has a heavy moisturizer and natural ingredients.

3. Pick something scented. You probably remember the stinky stuff that you could use to remove hair on your legs. That smell was nothing but chemicals. Now you can eliminate the odor or at least mask it with fragrance. This can save you from allergic reactions. Opt for the scent unless you cannot handle any type of artificial fragrance.

4. Do not do your entire face at once. Once you use the cream on your face, go slowly. Always get started with the eyebrow area. It is noticeably less sensitive than the upper lip area. If you have no trouble with your brows, then you can start on your lip or chin area.
