Little bumps from removing peach fuzz on my face

[michoudd]

I have a lot of blonde peach fuzz on my face so I use an eyebrow shaver to remove it. Since I've been doing this, I have little bumps all over my face. It seems like clogged pores/white heads since sometimes I can squeeze them out and white stuff comes out (I know I shouldn't). I think that's what's been causing them. I don't want to stop removing my fuzz though. I'm really self conscious about it. I tried waxing and that makes it worse. What would be the best way to get rid of all these bumps? I need a product that works! Thanks! 🙂

I understand your trouble. I have lots of peach fuzz on my face. I tried waxing before, but when growing back, it looked like I had the worst case of acne. The other person was probably correct, I should have exfoliated more. Here is my peach fuzz from today, while I was taking a picture of my eyes with Huda rose gold palette.

What is happening when you shave is your hairs are growing out of the hair follicle and curving back into your skin, causing irritated tiny ingrown hairs. To get rid of this you must EXFOLIATE! Exfoliate with a mild exfoliator for a few days after shaving, but then give your skin a break. 

For exfoliators, there are two types, physical and chemical. Physical exfoliators use tiny abrasive pieces to scrub away dead skin, where chemical exfoliators use chemicals to remove the dead skin. People hear chemicals and think they are bad but I find chemical exfoliators are better for sensitive skins because they are not abrasive. I use the Mica brand chemical exfoliator (the one you buy from those pushy mall kiosk people, AND it actually works great!!) and aveeno positively radiant brightening scrub as a physical exfoliator, because it is softer and not as abrasive as others like the famous pink grapefruit St. Ives.

Does tweezing cause bumps? If it doesn't, you can buy a SpringIt (or any other spring tweezer) to try to get as much hair out at a time instead of plucking individually.

I tried everything. I think the problem is when my hair starts to grow back. It takes a few days before I start to get bumps.

Have you tried threading? It is the least irritating method of hair removal for me.

Yes, I tried everything. I think the problem is when it grows back...
