A smooth, ultimately hairless face goes a long way in showing off your beauty and boosting confidence. Unfortunately, sometimes Mother Nature has other ideas in mind that can add a little extra work to your daily routine. Millions of women buy hair removal products every year in an effort to permanently remove the hairy situation from their lives. For women struggling with unwanted facial hair and unsatisfactory solutions, here are some tips to help separate the truth from the lies.
Shaving is a double-edged sword
While most believe that shaving facial hair makes hair thicker, this is simply not true. A razor on your face cannot change the coarseness, pattern, color or speed of hair growth. Your facial hair is four layers deep and simply shaving the surface hair of the skin will not produce long-term results. Whether you're trying to get rid of a little fuzz above the lip or those stubborn chin hairs, they're likely to grow rough and yield disappointing results. For a smoother, happier face, we recommend waxing, threading and depilatory creams.
Shavers do not provide effective exfoliation Everyone wants softer skin, but the amount of time it takes to achieve your goal with a razor is simply not worth it. While many believe that shaving has an exfoliating effect, the process can also cause irritation, ingrown hairs and painful scrapes. Since excessive facial hair growth is normally the result of hormonal changes, we have found that Dermaplaning is a successful technique for effective exfoliation and hair removal. During the painless process, an expert uses a sharp tool to eliminate hairs that cannot be done by waxing and other methods. When a sterile, precision scalpel is used to perform the procedure, you walk away with a smoother complexion.
Laser procedures are not for everyone
This is both true and false. Laser hair procedures actually work best when performed on people with darker hair. The technology focuses on melanin growth, which is naturally stronger in those with brown or black hair versus blonde. Lasers are an excellent way to achieve a smoother, hair-free face, but they only target active hair follicles and are a treatment option that should be done more often.
