Home Remedies To Get Rid Of Facial Hair On Women
Although there are several methods to remove female mustache hair, waxing is the preferred method. Waxing removes facial hair for up to six weeks without the threat of embarrassing stubble or shadow. Additionally, the hair that grows back is often finer and thinner. Sugaring, the homemade version of waxing, performs virtually the same function as waxing but uses common household items, such as cotton fabric, sugar and lemon juice, rather than a professional hair-removal waxing kit. Cut two strips of cotton measuring 1 by 2 inches using an old T-shirt or bolt of cotton fabric. Dust your upper lip with a light layer of baby powder. Dip out a small amount of sugar wax using the craft stick and spread the sugar wax on your upper lip, working from the center of the nose outward. Pull your lip taut by placing your less dominant hand onto the skin next to the area being waxed and pressing down lightly. Remove excess sugar wax with a cotton ball dampened with baby oil.
