hair removal for facial (lip chin cheek)
Waxing is one of the most popular methods for removing unsightly facial hair. It is quick, cheap and convenient to do yourself at home. While other DIY methods for removing facial hair such as depilatory creams and shaving leave you with stubble and the problem of regrowth within days if not hours, waxing will leave your face hair free for two to six weeks at a time. Not only that but hairs tend to grow in finer and over time you will find the growth of hair getting sparser.

However it doesn't suit everyone.
-
Most people will get a temporary reaction to facial waxing which brings them out in small red spots and skin with be sore and red for a couple of hours after waxing. But if you have particularly sensitive delicate skin you may find that you come out in a rash which refuses to budge and your skin may even bleed.
-
Also darker skinned women may suffer some discoloration from waxing and if you have been using retinols or acne preparations such as Accutane which thin the skin you should avoid waxing altogether until a month or so after you stop using them (check with a beauty therapist and your doctor if you're unsure). Always proceed cautiously, in any case, when you begin and try waxing a small area to start with.
Upper Lip Waxing
Follow the directions for facial waxing but be extremely careful in this sensitive area to avoid injury. Hair on the upper lip generally grows downwards but check the direction of hair growth before you begin. Apply the wax in a small strip from nose to mouth and ensure that you pull the skin taut before removing the strip. It usually helps to pull your upper lip taut by pulling your lip inwards over your upper teeth. Also tighten by pulling the skin on either side of the area you are waxing with the thumb and forefinger of your hand. Do only one strip at a time.
