One account of a 50 year old woman whose facial hair seemed to sprout almost overnight. The solution for her? Waxing.
I try plucking, but am overwhelmed by the forest that seems to be growing from my chin. I am ashamed. I curse the hormones surging through my body.

Unfortunately unwanted hair does seem to appear along with the menopause for some women due to hormonal fluctuations. If you have a big problem with this see your doctor otherwise the solutions are the same as for everyone else below the age of the menopause – waxing, plucking, electrolysis, laser hair removal. It’s just something new you may have to cope with along with other symptoms of the menopause but definitely something you have plenty of solutions for and there’s no need to get down about it. Take action!
