Has Anyone Had Any Luck With Waxing Facial Hair

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Longview, TX

I have been dealing with facial hair since I started my period. I was wondering if anyone has notice a change in the facial or chest hair since waxing. I wanted to try something different. I am renewing my vows in March 2017 and I don't want to have these bumps on my face for the pictures. I am open to any options.

I use a Braun epilator to remove facial hair. My skin is really sensitive so after waxing or plugging with tweezers I get irritated, red skin. My skin still colors slightly red after using it, but it isn't as bad as with other methods. Therefore, I tend to remove my hair before going to bed, so that the next morning my skin is fine. I was adviced to not used tweezers as it enlarges your hair sacks. The epilator is painless and works really fast. The hairs stay away for approximately 1,5 - 2 weeks. Hope this helps for you.

I stopped shaving my chin, as it made it worse. I now tweeze my chin every other day and get my upper lip waxed.
