Facial hair is an issue to some degree for everyone. I will admit it is a bigger deal for some people than others, though. You have at least one errant hair, though, no matter who you are. That is just a part of life.

But it you are like me, then plucking drives you insane. I cannot even get a glimpse of the mirror through the tears in my eyes! But facial hair creams scare me. All I got in high school from using them was a red blister on my upper lip. Honestly I probably would have rather had the girlstache…

Fortunately, hair removal creams have come a long way since high school. They used to be terribly smelling and full of harsh chemicals. Now most of them smell like a delightful aromatherapy treatment. Of course, you still need to be careful.

Use these tips to make sure you get the best results possible from your facial hair remover:

1. Always test first. Before you smear it on your face, try it on your wrist. If you feel a burning feeling on your skin or you get a rash then you will know that you should not use it on your face. A small dab of the cream should be enough to test with.

2. Look for herbal ingredients. You just plain need chemicals to melt hair away. Herbal extracts can help skin bounce back from chemical exposure. Heavy moisturizers and natural ingredients tend to make the facial hair removal process go more smoothly.

3. Go for the fragrance. You probably clearly remember the stench of that stinky cream that people used to remove leg hair. That smell was a result of serious chemicals. Today’s creams contain ingredients to mask or eliminate these smells. People find that the scents alleviate allergic reactions to the chemical smells. Unless you can’t take artificial fragrances, opt for the scented stuff.

4. Do not do your entire face at once. Go easy when you are putting the cream on your face. Get started with the eyebrow area. It is less sensitive than the upper lip area. If your brows show no signs of irritation then you can move on to the lip or chin areas.
