The hairs
On the face, hair varies according to age and origin. Brunettes tend to have a lot more of them than blondes or Asians.

During menopause, hair increases because the testosterone is no longer held back by female hormones. In case of excessive hairiness, you must consult a gynecologist!

Usually unwanted hair on the face is discolored: the hair on the sides of the face, the hateful mustache above the lips and the hair located on the forearms. For other areas of the body, opt for traditional do-it-yourself hair removal, using a depilatory cream, hot or cold wax, an electric epilator or tweezers!
How to do?
To make the hair less visible, choose a bleaching kit.On sale in supermarkets, these kits are composed of a décoloring cream to be mixed with an activating powder, based on ammonia. Apply it with a spatula, let it act, then remove it and rinse thoroughly; the result will be almost perfect.
What are the risks?
A little burning. To avoid this, test the skin inside the arm. This ammonia-based product should not be used on irritated skin: it burns! Contact between the irritated skin and the cream can cause skin reactions or allergies. If so, consult a dermatologist.
What are the different solutions?
If you have light hair on your lips, you can bleach it. Otherwise, the most suitable technique for hair removal of this area is cold wax, which allows you to pull out very thin and short hairs. If the hair is too dark, you can resort to laser hair removal sessions at a dermatologist or laser doctor.
The ancestral method of oriental sugar wax is also ideal for the face. Practiced in the institute, it eliminates dead cells, leaving the skin very soft. If you have a lot of hair, they will be clearly visible even after bleaching; the final effect will be unnatural, the hairs will be too blond and too thick. Especially on the forearms.
There is only one solution: to resort to traditional wax, in the institute. The beautician spreads the warm wax and pulls off the hair. You will be quiet for three weeks, but regrowth is inevitable. And it will no longer be fluff, as it requires hair to grow back thicker and darker. You will have no choice: if you start shaving, you will have to keep doing it. You can also use tweezers, but it's a bit annoying and time-consuming.
