hair remover for face

Elle · Hermes

I've never been happy with hair removers - I started bleaching instead. Lasts alot longer! I use the Sally Hansen brand. Would that be an option for you?

The best method would be to wax - are you looking for methods or brands?

I have sensitive skin and like threading instead of wax. It's only a little bit more than waxing at the salon I go to. I have peachfuzz too.

My friend uses Nair for face and she really likes that.

Threading is where they take a piece of thread and sort of roll it over the hair to pull it out. I've had it done to my eyebrows. I won't lie, I thought it hurt, but the results were very precise. The pain didn't last long either, and if you take an ibuprofen or something beforehand, it probably would be fine.

I think wax may be the least painful of these options for a large area like a cheek. I once tried to use a home threading tool on sideburns and I almost passed out the pain was so bad! I think Nair would be the gentlest but do a check to see if you are sensitive. I tend to get rashes/break out at all the options so I don't bother.

Thanks I will check out Nair

I use Avon. I love it and doesn't smell all that bad. I think Nair smells terrible. With the Avon you only have to leave on for two minutes!
