Going for facial waxing….Wait and read this…..

Swathy · February 5, 2010 · 38 Comments

I recently went to Lakme Salon for a hair cut. I have a problem of facial hair and was thinking of getting a facial waxing done as a quick fix. Home remedies do take a lot of time and you have to be consistent with them. otherwise, they do not yield the desired results. I asked the girl who was waxing my hand about facial waxing. She asked me my age and advised me on a personal front that facial waxing should not be done till you are 30. It opens your pores and makes them look bigger and you older. I wanted to bring this to your notice before you thought of opting for it.

Instead, I would advise you to stick to the home remedies and follow them consistently and you should see some results in a month. I suggest you to try this home remedy. And, I am sharing today another home remedy to remove facial hair. Honestly, this never worked for me as I could not mix the paste in a consistency which would be apt for a peel off. But, you can give it a try.
Ingredients:
1 egg white
Honey
Corn Flour
Method: Mix all the ingredients in a smooth consistency and apply it to your face. And, let it dry. Peel off after it dries. It would extract your facial hair along with it. And, applying egg white also firms up your skin. It is an anti-aging mask.
If you know, what consistency should be used to mix these things, please share it with others.

      hey DB…well, I guess no waxing applies to all kinds and I think it will definitely make the pores look larger like that on the legs and hands generally do look larger!!! do you really use strips?? doesn’t it hurt??? you know you could try sleek wax…it’s supposed to be for facial hair and its a katori wax which doesn’t have to pulled at one go but peeled off.

      Yeah Am using Hip Hop Facial strips for my upper lips.. Am afraid to go to a parlor for upper lip.. it pains a lot.. But these strips are very easy and it is not hurting as threading done in our face..

      I don’t think upper lips come into that category and even I think waxing is less painful than threading!!! why don’t you do a review of them 🙂

      hi Muskaan…sorry but I can’t really comment on any facial hair removal methods as no home remedies i have found really work. only sunnipindi thing works but its a long term solution and not short term.

    Hey beautiful ladies out there!

    Facial hair, unless specific to an ethnicity, could be a cause of concern, especially if it is accompanied by acne, blackheads and whites, menstrual irregularities – it could be sign of hormonal imbalance….

      hi Stuti…no, this won’t work for immediate relief…I would suggest to get threading done for face and waxing for upper lip if the case is really severe. i have tried the katori wax thing but I couldn’t do it properly. you can give it a try but it dries too fast before you pull it off so I don’t know if it will work out well but its not expensive so give it a try.

      also, if its more than normal like almost a proper beard extent, you might be suffering from hirutism or hormonal imbalances in which case you should go to a doc.

      i think its better to leave facial hair as it is. it for sure makes the pores look larger but whether it loosens the skin or not, am not sure. but, waxing face skin might be a little too much for skin!!

    If you do frequently then the pores will get larger avoid doing this.. Just do it in every 3 to 4 month then it will be good ..

    Hello everyone!! I think facial waxing is not a good idea for young girls as it really makes the pore size larger…. thats why i personally do not recommend for facial waxing as a solution bt if your facial hair bother u too much then u can go for waxing as a option bt not repeatidly… atleast 4-5 months gap should be present in between two sessions of waxing…. and in between u can go with other methods like bleach…. i hope that ths will help….

      hi Deeksha. yeah, facial waxing is a bad idea, true but some people do opt for it as a quick and better way to get rid of facial hair. it makes the skin saggy as well but apparently it works great on upper lips. a friend said but I have no idea. seems like the growth is slower so once a month is the schedule. but, I would definitely add that bleaching is also not a good idea due to the amount of chemicals. threading is an option though it does harm the skin and makes the skin saggy due to the repeated pulls. laser is probably the best idea!!

      hi Pratiksha. sorry for the delayed reply. your comment went to spam. since you have already done it once, it is absolutely fine. just avoid it next time because waxing strips off the skin and makes face very very sensitive and make sure you use a good amount of sunscreen everyday to protect your skin. may be you could get an epilator for face because threading becomes difficult when the growth is heavy. also, you should just take an opinion from the doctor regarding heavy facial hair. heavy facial hair can also be due to some underlying medical condition. hope this helps 🙂

      hi Pragya. as far as I know, it is safe enough but you could probably consult a dermatologist or a beautician. I have never got waxing done on upper lips.
