| Upper lip? Chin? Where do you stop? How much of your face are you supposed to wax? Do you get it done or do-it-yourself, hot wax, sugar, cold wax, pre-done strips or hard wax that doesn't need strips? Your comments appreciated! |

| Are you using active skincare ingredients like retinoids or peels? If so, be very careful with facial waxing since you can hurt your tender new skin. |

Being an trained as an esthetician and working as one I highly recommend getting someone else to do it for you!! THe upper lip is one of the most painful areas on the body...well second most!!
I am sure there are great, relatively inexpensive places to get that done and the esthetician will do it fast and very effectively. |

I am blond but I have those very tiny and thin blond hairs on my cheeks, upperlip and chin. You can only see them when the light is shining through it, but I hate them  .
So I use the Braun Soft-Épil that I also use for my legs.
Painfull.....yes.....but not so painfull that I can't stand it.
Don't forget to desinfect with alcohol before and after usage. |

I have some fine blonde hair too. I haven't touched it yet, but sometimes I think about it.
After you epilated, did you find that the hairs grew back thicker/darker/faster at all?
And did you have any problems with ingrowns? |

No not at all! And I have been doing it for years!
The only thing is that when I don't desinfect, it can give me some break outs. But I think that's because of the fact that my skin is acne prone. |

| I always have irritation when I wax or just tweeze so I use Remergent Refoliator which calms the redness. I am acne prone too. |

i tried it a very long time ago probly be 4-5 years now. Was painful the waxing...but after a while got used to it..........But then i started electrolysis and now no waxing no nothing 
My personal opinion. it may cause skin to become loose from all the pulling   |

| I use cold wax on my upper lip. I do it myself and don't find it at all painful. |
