Hairy Face – Part 2

June 25, 2007

Over the weekend I decided it was time to remove the furry growth from my upper lip. One of my last posts mentioned that i would be trying out different methods of hair removal on various parts of my body. For my lady tash I decided to try Veet hair removal cream so I went and purchased a tube from my local chemist.

Its dead simple to use, all i had to do was to make sure my skin was make-up free and slap some of the cream on the area. I left the cream on for about 6mins and then wiped it off with a damp cloth.

Results:
Negative:
The smell of the cream was not very nice. Infact it smelt disgusting! At least I only had to put up with the stink for a few mins but it was right below my nostrils which made it even stronger!
Towards the end of the treatment time I felt my skin begin to tingle. I started to panic that I might end up with red marks on my top lip (which would have looked worse than fine hair) so that’s why I removed the cream. Any longer and I think it might have burnt the top layer of my skin off!!

Positive:
Really easy to use.
Most of the hair came away easily and I was left with a smooth, hair free top lip.

Now I am wandering if I will have stubble when the hair begins to grow back…

All in all a very quick and easy way of removing facial hair but I was put off using the cream again on my face but the smell. Will more than likely try this on other parts of my body that need de-fuzzing!
