Hair can be beautiful, if
it's in the right places. Unfortunately, the human body
grows hair in places we would prefer not to have it. Getting
rid of unwanted hair is one of the most common beauty
problems for women, but men can also have problems with
access growth.
From shaving to permanent
hair removal, there are many ways to enjoy smooth, silky
skin, with little cost and effort. Plan on constant
maintenance because hair seems to grow back much
faster in places we don't want it.
How to Get
Rid of Unwanted Hair
Shaving is still the
most common and inexpensive method to remove unwanted
hair. With care, it gives you a great, smooth feeling with
the least fuss.
Tweeze eyebrows
immediately after a shower or bath to loosen hair. If you
find it painful, apply teething gel beforehand.
Tweeze in the direction
of hair growth.
Enhance your natural
brow when tweezing. Never change the shape of your arch.
Hot wax can be used at
home but it's best to have it done professionally the
first time to see how it's done.
Don't use hot wax if
your skin is sensitive.
Don't apply cream to
your face after a hot wax treatment if you're prone to
breakouts.
Apply a coat of Vaseline
to sensitive spots when using a depilatory or hot wax to
keep it off of those areas.
Do a test on a very
small patch of skin before using a depilatory or hot wax
to make sure it won't cause an allergic reaction or
breakouts.
Absolutely do NOT use
depilatory, hot wax, or any other chemicals to remove nose
hairs unless you're into pain.
If you have your hair
removed professionally, make sure the shop is up to the
standards set by the health department and properly
licensed.
Consider professional
threading for facial hair and eyebrows. It's much easier
on the skin than waxing. Not every beauty parlor offers
this service, so give them a call first.
Eyebrows
Use an eyebrow or
moustache brush to blend eyebrows up and enhance your
natural arch.
If you accidentally make
a gap in your eyebrow while tweezing, fill it in with an
eyeliner pencil or eye shadow matching your eyebrow.
Tweeze only underneath
your eyebrow but it's okay to pluck out the stragglers
above.
Tweezing is best done
before bed time. Any swelling will be down by morning.
