Facial hair removing

Depending on where the hair is located on the face various methods can be used. For men the most common way to remove facial is by shaving. It is easy, painless for the most part and fast enough to do when pressed for time. While shaving has these benefits, it is not without its drawbacks either. Razor burn and bumps, ingrown hair and general irritability can occur with various types of skin and shavers.

To lessen the effects shaving on a regular basis may have on skin, it is usually best to use a shaving gel with special moisturizers and an after-shave repair lotion before you apply after-shave. But before you even begin to shave, moistening the face with hot water is a great way to prep the skin, and if you have some time you can try using hot towels on your face, or steaming your face for 5-10 minutes before you start as this will make the skin easier to work with and more co-operative with you choice of shaver.

If the facial hair to be removed is not a beard of any kind, shaving is not the greatest option. However, removing hair via means of pulling it out from the root may be more suitable. This can be done with tweezers and waxing. Many women find that a combination of waxing and tweezing is great for the eyebrows, upper lip and even unwanted sideburns when first having this kind of facial hair removed and tweezing maintenance for lone hairs and hairs that grow out more quickly then the others. Waxing and tweezing are great for longer-lasting hair removal as hair can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 8 weeks to grow back depending on how quickly your hair grows and which part of the body the hair was removed from.

Waxing, though not the most painless way to remove hair, is among

one of the better ways since it exfoliates the surface layer of skin, and removing hair from the root causes hair to grow back lighter and more sparse because waxing will damage some hair roots.
