Hair Removal FAQ’S

Here are a few Hair Removal FAQ’s, terms and suggestions to keep in mind when researching which method of facial hair removal is best for you:

Most all methods of hair removal cause some kind of discomfort or skin irritation
Shaving does not change the texture, color or rate of hair growth (really the FDA says so)
Shaving was uncommon in women until after WWI (Yucky or Nice I can’t decide)
Skin should never be shaved dry – wet hair is pliable, soft and easier to cut – and always use a clean sharp razor for a safe and comfortable shave.
Always use a lubricant ( shave gel or shave cream) when shaving to prevent facial hair irritation and get a closer shave.

Depilatories -are like a chemical razor. They are available in creams, gels, lotions, aerosol and roll-on forms.
Always perform a small UN-noticeable skin test for allergic reactions and sensitivity when trying any hair removal product.
Waxing systems should never be used over varicose veins, moles or warts.
Hormonal changes can cause new hair growth in areas where hair removal has already treated.
Stress can actually slow hair growth and/or cause the hair to become brittle and weak. (maybe a good reason to stress)
Men usually request hair removal treatment for the area between the eyebrows, outside of the ears, shoulders and most popular back hair removal.
Women usually request facial hair removal – the lip, chin, eyebrows and neck but also request treatment for bikini hair removal. Other common hair removal areas include abdomen, breast, forearms and underarms.

Facial Hair Removal Methods

For perfect eyebrow plucking – use an old mascara brush that has been cleaned and comb the eyebrow upward. Pluck any hair that are stray, if the hairs are long, get a pair of scissors and trim them, if you don’t it will look like you over twee-zed.
Estrogen discourages hair growth helping to slow the growth cycles.
Applying baby oil after shaving can reduce itching and irritation. It also softens the hair follicle for an easier shave next time.
No dry shaving – if the shave cream can is empty use some unscented lotion or even liquid hand soap.
If you have irritation after a hair removal treatment use hydro-cortisone cream for relief, it’s inexpensive and available just about anywhere!
To prevent ingrown hairs after hair removal use a lotion containing alpha-hydroxy acid, it exfoliates the skin.
If you going to use a waxing system, the hair needs to be about 1/4 inch long for best results. That means you are going to have to skip shaving for a few weeks!

A few tips for growing facial hair – strange thought I know but read on anyway!

If you have ever plucked to much hair – apply vitamin e over the plucked area, the hair will grow faster and thicker

Want thicker and longer eyelashes? Use baby shampoo – no kidding – simply wash your eyes with warm water, put some baby shampoo on a q-tip, apply to the eyelash and massage for about 1 minute then rinse well. It takes about a week to see the results
