Facial Hair Removal For Women - Because You Deserve It

If you hear or read the term, "facial hair removal", you can be reasonable sure this relates to female facial hair. For males, removing facial hair is either shaving with a razor or using an electric shaver. I don't think many men even consider other alternatives.

Some women develop hair growth on their faces, varying from one or two individual hairs to hair covering larger areas. The more common ones are over the upper lip, on the sides of the cheeks or on the chin.

The reasons can be hereditary or hirsutism - An illness which results in excessive hair growth in women due to too much male hormone, (androgen).

There are other cases where women develop excess hair growth. For example: Women who suffer from anorexia can develop hair along the arms, legs and even face. This being the result of the body's defense mechanism to avoid loss of heat caused by the inherent weakness of malnutrition.

Whatever the reasons, for a women who feels the need to remove facial hair, the need is real, it's imperative and requires a solution. This need is not just a response to having a smooth face and skin; it also relates to the way a woman sees herself and the way she believes she is perceived by others. It relates to self confidence and liking oneself.

The good news is that a woman can do something about it.

There are various methods that bring about the desired outcome - A smooth face without facial hair.

What you definitely don't want are poor results or any sort of tell-tale signs - In grown hairs, scars and so on.

But first, let's get rid of one common myth:

It has generally been accepted that shaving strengthens hair growth. This is not the case, and without delving too deeply into the scientific facts, a very simple answer can be given.

The hair that we see is actually the hair shaft and it is a dead structure that extends from the follicle above the surface of the skin. Only the follicle is alive. The follicle is not touched, so it can't be, "encouraged", to grow faster.

We mistakenly perceive faster hair growth after shaving, as its minute growth is more noticeable to the eye where hair wasn't visible than on a head of hair.

Glad we got that cleared up.

Now -

What alternatives are available for facial hair removal?

The simpler methods:

- Tweezing or plucking: Very good if you can easily count the number of hairs you want to remove.

- Shaving: The myth is untrue, however lathering your face with foam and then shaving is not all that inspiring. An alternative method women are turning to with very good results, is the use of an electric shaver.

- Electric Shaver: Today the quality of the shaver, its size, (making it easy to carry), and versatility, (for under arms, legs and bikini line), is turning this method into one of the most sought after. When used following the instructions, the reported after effects, (irritation of the skin, etc.), are much lower than with other methods.

Various other methods:

- Depilatory creams and lotions: These creams or lotions have chemicals that when applied to the skin, alter the structure of the hair. When using this method for the first time, be sure to try it out in a small area, as allergic reactions can appear. Always keep an eye open for reactions.

- Wax method: Your tolerance for pain can be an important factor in your decision to use this type of removal for facial hair especially. The lip area and below the ear is very sensitive, and these are usually the areas that need hair removal.

- Electrolysis: A permanent hair removal alternative, where an electrical current is used to destroy the hair. It is highly recommended that you research the facility or expert with whom you choose for this method. Scarring has been known to occur. Due diligence is always better, so be safe rather than sorry.

All women deserve to look good, feel good and above all to be confident of their true worth.
