Once upon a time, a long time ago, hairprotected a person from wind and cold. Time passed. A person picked up a stone, then made his first axe, and a little later - his first needle and learned to sew clothes that began to protect him from the vagaries of the weather. Therefore, the vegetation on his body gradually began to thin out. Well, at least that's what school textbooks say. Be that as it may, today excessive "hairiness" is not in fashion. Especially when it comes to women. Perhaps, of course, someone will consider that a mustache on a woman's face is piquant, but most are unlikely to appreciate such an adornment. As a rule, women, faced with this problem, seriously think about how to solve it. Today it is much easier to do than 10-15 years ago. Modern cosmetology offers many ways to remove hair from the upper lip - photoepilation, electrolysis, laser hair removal of the mustache - choose any. Well, those who do not want to waste time and money on visits to a beautician can do it themselves at home. However, let's take it in order. First, we need to figure out why this happens at all. There are several main reasons why hair appears on a woman's face:
- Heredity;
- Overabundance of male hormones in the body;
- Recently suffered stress, shock;
- Long-term use of hormonal drugs;
- Increase the amount of hair on the face and during pregnancy;
- Menopause.
Moreover, for natural brunettes and womenEastern type have it much harder than blondes - the hair on their face is more noticeable. In any case, before doing hair removal of the moustache, be sure to consult a doctor. Perhaps this problem is not only cosmetic in nature and everything is much more serious than you think. If everything is fine with your health - choose "your" method.
Salon methods
You can get rid of unwanted vegetation insalon. There are several ways. One of the most modern is considered to be laser hair removal. This is a virtually painless method. Prepare yourself for the fact that you will have to visit the cosmetologist's office at least 6-7 times. In general, this method is very good. True, there is also a drawback - this procedure is more suitable for brunettes. When exposed to light hair, the laser gives a much smaller effect. And also - the beam burns not only the hair, but also the pigment. Therefore, if you have dark skin, there is a risk that it will not only become irritated, but also have light spots. You can also get rid of annoying mustaches with the help of electrolysis. This is one of the most effective methods today. True, you still need to find an experienced cosmetologist. Otherwise, scars and burns may remain after electrolysis. The procedure is based on the action of weak electric current discharges, which gradually destroy the hair follicle. The process is long, painstaking and quite painful. This pleasure is not cheap. In addition, one session will not be enough. Focus on five or six procedures. Another method is photoepilation. This method is considered the least traumatic. Suitable for hair of any color. Photoepilation of the upper lip will also have to be repeated several times. Gradually, the hair follicles will be destroyed, and you will forever get rid of this "mistake of nature". Recently, another rather original method of removing hair above the upper lip has become popular. However, it is exotic only for Europeans - residents of eastern countries have been successfully using it for several centuries. Hair is removed using a special roller made of cotton threads. During the procedure, the antennae are wound on the roller and simply pulled out. This procedure is inexpensive in salons, and does not take much time. As a rule, slight irritation that occurs immediately after the session passes within 10-15 minutes. Well, if all this is not for you, then try to cope with the problem at home. There are also several options.
Shaving and plucking
Perhaps the easiest way to remove a mustache isat home - it's shaving. After all - men do it! The advantages of this method - simplicity and accessibility. A huge disadvantage - is that the hair grows back after one or two days, and becomes even longer and thicker. In addition, after shaving, irritation will almost inevitably occur on the delicate skin of the face. So, it seems that it is better to leave this method to the stronger sex - let it continue to be their prerogative. No less famous, but more "feminine" method of combating excess vegetation above the upper lip, which can be easily used at home, is plucking. It can also be easily used at home. The problem is the same - after plucking, the hair accelerates its growth, becoming thicker and longer. Perhaps this method of moustache removal is best suited for those women who have a small number of "extra" hairs on their face and they are not located too close to each other. The advantages of this method include the fact that the procedure will have to be carried out less often - about two or three times a week. And irritation on the face after these manipulations usually does not occur.
Wax and sugar hair removal
Another popular way to combat hairAbove the upper lip – wax epilation. It is much more effective than the first two, as the hair is removed together with the bulb, which significantly slows down its subsequent growth. In addition, in the future, the hairs become lighter and thinner. You can do wax epilation both in a salon and at home. If you are using wax for the first time, you should consult with sellers in cosmetic stores and purchase special plates or tablets, as well as epilation paper and a spatula. Before starting wax epilation, clean the skin. Do not apply any creams or oils. Melt the wax in a microwave oven or in a water bath. It should lie evenly on the paper. Apply the prepared composition to a small area of the skin, cover with paper, let it harden and remove by pulling sharply against the growth of the hair. After completing the procedure, you need to apply a nourishing or moisturizing cream to your face. It is not recommended to wipe the skin with lotion. If there are small wounds and damage on the face, wax epilation should be postponed. You should also avoid this method if you have moles or warts. As a result of waxing, hair does not grow back for about a month. Sugaring is probably one of the cheapest ways to get rid of unwanted hair above the upper lip at home. Its cost is equal to the cost of sugar and lemon. Make a paste. To do this, take a small saucepan with a thick bottom and put ten large spoons of sugar in it. Add one large spoon of water and the juice of half a lemon. Melt over a fire, stirring continuously, until a homogeneous gruel is formed. Let the sugar mass cool slightly so as not to burn the skin. Using a stick or a special spatula, apply the resulting mass to problem areas of the face. When the sugar gruel is completely dry, remove it with your hands. After epilation, wash your face with warm water and apply a nourishing cream to it. Both methods are very similar and have common disadvantages:
- Waxing or sugar can be done only after the hair has reached at least 5 millimeters in length. So, for a while you will have to resemble a mustache.
- Together with the vegetation, you remove and particles of skin, and this can cause quite strong irritation.
- Both procedures are rather painful.
Epilation cream
Another method to combat hairs above the toplip - this is a depilatory cream. It can be easily found in any cosmetics store. The cream makes the hair removal procedure absolutely painless. It is applied to problem areas for just a few minutes. However, depilatory cream, for a number of reasons, is considered one of the most ineffective drugs. Firstly, the vegetation above the upper lip can become thicker and tougher. Therefore, if nature has awarded you with a thick and noticeable mustache, then you should not aggravate the situation by using cream. Secondly, the cream quite often causes allergies and irritation. It is not recommended for those with sensitive skin. Thirdly, the result of such a procedure is very short-term and hair growth does not decrease. However, today there are quite a lot of special products to slow down hair growth. Under the influence of such drugs, the hair begins to thin and lighten, and then stops growing altogether. As you can see, it is quite possible to get rid of excess vegetation - if only there is a desire. It remains only to choose the appropriate method and put it into practice. After all, if something prevents a woman from being beautiful, she will definitely find a way to solve this problem. And let men wear moustaches with pride. We recommend reading:
