There are several solutions for female facial hair removal so there is no need to despair if you have a problem with unwanted facial hair. What you do not want to do, in any event, is to mimic the male method of facial hair removal and start shaving the hair off. All you will do if you do that is to give yourself a potential 5 o’ clock shadow and stubble problem.

Here are the methods I would consider useful for unwanted facial hair removal for women.

1. Depilatory Cream

Depilatory ranges such as Nair hair removal cream and Veet usually have special facial hair removal creams with a more sensitive formula than general depilatory creams. They are very effective at removing hair and, as long as they do not irritate you, they leave skin looking healthy and smooth. Remember to do a patch test if you use a facial hair removal cream in case your skin reacts badly to the chemicals in the product. The main problems with these creams is that you have to repeat the process every few days as the hair grows back quickly (although not so quickly as shaving).

2. Bleaching

Bleaching is not really a method of removing facial hair but it can be useful to disguise very fine yet dark down growing on your face. Once the hair is lightened it will be much less obvious. It may be all you need to do to correct your problem so it is worth a try if the hair growth is fine. You can bleach specially formulated for facial hair such as Jolen cream bleach.

3. Waxing

You can buy facial hair removal wax strips which allow you to pull the hair out from the roots using cold wax so that there is no chance of burning your face with a hot wax solution. These cold wax strips are generally quite effective and you can cut the strips in sizes to suit and sort out the problem in the privacy of your own home. Your skin will be a little sore after waxing but redness should settle down within an hour or two.

4. Laser Hair Removal

You can have professional facial laser hair removal and, if you have skin and hair which reacts well to the treatment, your hair growth will be noticeably reduced and may even disappear for good. Laser treatment is fairly expensive but as the face is such a small area it is in the reach of many. You will probably need six or so sessions costing around $100 each. Laser treatment works best if your skin is light and your hair is dark and may not work at all on fair hair or dark skin.

5. Electrolysis

The best way of all to remove facial hair for women is electrolysis. Although electrolysis is quite slow and you may need a number of sessions over many months it is going to be permanent by the end of your course of treatment and you will never have to worry about the problem again. In the absence of a facial hair remover in the shape of a magic wand it is the best solution we have to female facial hair removal at the moment and there does not seem to be anything coming up to replace it. See Permanent facial hair removal for more about facial electrolysis or laser treatment.
