Facial hair fix-its


 
I have this hair growing in above my upper lip, and it is black. It looks like I have a mustache. It is really annoying, and it looks bad! Please help!

 

Your sitch is oh-so-common among girls and women with dark hair and more olive skin tones. Thankfully, there are two easy fixes, and you can do both at home or in a salon. Before you do anything, though, you should talk to your mom, if she has the same problem, or other female family members to see how they handle their unwanted dark facial hair.

 

Wax it away

Any salon that offers waxing services will be able to wax the hair above your upper lip. It’s a simple, quick procedure that’ll only hurt for a few seconds. You can also find facial waxing kits at your local beauty supply or drug store. Follow the directions on the box and be sure to do a test patch just in case you react poorly to the wax.

 

Bleach it to blend in

Another option is to bleach the hair so it becomes less noticeable. You can find bleaching crème kits at any drug store on the cheap, and you can do it yourself in about 10 minutes. Follow the directions carefully and again, do a test patch first. Results usually last a few weeks depending on the speed of hair growth.

i have oily skin on my face. and i use an acne treatment and stuff but even before lunch time at school my face will get oily and shiny!! is there any ways i can prevent this from happening??? thanks a million!!

 

Hey girl!

 I would drink plenty of water to keep your skin complexion clear. Make sure you aren't using your acne treatment too much because your skin can overcompensate and produce too much oil. Make sure you are using a product that contains salicyclic acid. You can also talk to your dermatologist or doctor about getting prescription acne treatment.

I use bleach and it works for me, since it's less noticeable. I would wax, but I use acne medication that makes my skin sensitive and the wax reacts with it badly. So, I'd say bleach is a great option and it's easy to do at home!

I have the same problem and I bleach. It comes back in less than a week and it's a pain to do on a regular basis. Plucking hurts and my mom said I can't wax because it's like shaving and will grow back prickly. Is that true? I also have a slight unibrow.

 

Hey girl,

 

I know plucking might hurt, but if you give it time, you will get used it. That will also help with your unibrow too. I wax my upper lip and don't feel like it comes back too prickly. Try compromising with your mom and seeing if she will be okay with you buying an at-home waxing kit. Lastly, make sure you are following the directions properly for the at-home bleach kit.
