UNWANTED HAIR

Please help!  
I’m about to be 40. I’ve had thick upper lip hair for ever and since a young age getting bullied I’ve done everything to remove it. Shave, wax, pluck, bleach….. Everything but some sort of medical hair removal. My issue is now I have discoloration and dark hair that still comes in showing a 5 o’clock shadow. It’s such a huge insecurity. I’ve tried color corrector, concealer, foundation. Nothing helps to cover it up. If it does…., it’s temporary and wears away. It’s so embarrassing. I don’t know what else to try. I need to find others who deal with this and get advice. 🥺. Is laser hair removal, electrolysis my only option?  🙏🏼

Hi, @momotarutaru !  I have this issue too.  I recommend talking to your doctor about prescription Vaniqa.  It helps reduce facial hair growth.  BUT...it takes many months for it to really make a difference, and you MUST be faithful in using it.  Once it starts working, it's worth the wait!  It cut my excess upper lip hair by at least half.  Otherwise, electrolysis is your only other option.  I would have pursued that if I weren't blonde.  Now I'm postmenopausal; and like the rest of my hair, it's thinning out on its own. 😄

Re: UNWANTED HAIR

maybe try some discolouration treatment and a form of hair removal!!!
