Mustaches and Sideburns

[sephoras girl]

What are the best ways to remove them without wrecking your face?

 

[luxotika]

According to dermatologists that I have talked to, shaving is the best way to get rid of it. And no, it won't make it come back any thicker.

I wax using Poetic Wax from Bliss or go to a Benefit Beauty Bar.

Try waxing from a professional salon.

 

[sephoras girl]

Salons kinda creep me out

 

[Darla]

do it yourself then at home. You can do either waxing or sugaring. It will hurt.

 

[sephoras girl]

I know....unfortunately

Try bleaching. I don't know if it works on dark skin, or if you have dark skin. Jolen and Sally Hansen beauty makes them, as well as store brands in the wax section.

i get mine done at a nail salon near my house.

Yeah, it works- it just looks awful.

The hair is bleached either white or the dreaded orange and it's on darker skin (even on dark toned white people) and it's as glaringly obvious as the original problem.

Go for wax or threading. Yank that hair out. It will hurt, but you will get used to it after a while.

 

[sephoras girl]

I wanna try threading but I don't anybody down here does it.

 

[Orangeeyecrayon]

i would say either shaving... or try waxing or sugaring.

I want to try it too, but there isn't anyone in my area who does it either.Are you on the west coast? I am and I've noticed most of the threaders are east. Do you have an East Indian community around you? You might find a threader there.

Just have to wait for the trend to make it's way over here.

I like that they don't apply anything to the skin so there is no irritation.

 

[sephoras girl]

yeah..

 

[monniej]

i use a facial razor on my top lip, right under my nose. i tweeze the sides of my mouth and below my lower lip. i tried everything from waxing to threading to bleaching. this is the only thing that doesn't irritate my skin and cause breakouts. i always follow with an antiseptic cream.

love the pic, sephoras girl!

 

[GlossyAbby]

Waxing would be your best bet .

 

[laurreenn]

yea if you're not allergic to waxing, waxing would be your best bet.

 

[sephoras girl]

I just got done waxing and I don't want to anymore for a while.

Boy did it hurt! I never do it right either...

How much should I remove of my sideburns?
