Hair Removal Cream To The Rescue

For whatever reasons, many people choose to remove facial hair. Men typically shave their facial hair if they don't want beards, but shaving for women is often not the best choice. The other ways to remove facial hair are waxing, lasers, electrolysis and creams.

Facial hair removal creams are actually pretty hard to come by. I don't usually go to Google first thing, but I didn't know much about hair removal creams and wanted to see what was out there.


So I Googled "facial hair removal cream". Surprisingly, Avon Skin So Soft came up first with the highest review ranking.



There are other hair removal creams: underarm, bikini, and leg depilatories. But those are often too strong for the sensitive facial areas like the upper lip, where facial hair tends to be a problem. So choosing a hair removal cream that is specifically for facial areas - or even better! specifically for sensitive skin - will help reduce the sensitivity.

How To Use Facial Hair Removal Cream:

  1. Apply a thick coat to completely cover the area where you want hair removed. 
  2. Wait several minutes. (Test an area after 2 minutes and do not exceed 8 minutes)
  3. Wipe the cream off with a bit of pressure, using a cotton pad. 
  4. Rinse the remaining cream with water and pat dry.
  5. Moisturize the area with a facial moisturizer.

DIY Spa Day

I could use a relaxing spa day EVERY day. The fact is, I can barely manage some spa treatment time for me every few months. If I'm lucky. And the planets align.

When I do have an opportunity for relaxing spa time, you bet your pretty petunias I'm going to take advantage of that! My problem is, there is no way I could afford GOING to a spa. I mean a facial alone can be well over $100. There is most definitely a way I can recreate the spa experience myself and for much less.


Be prepared to spend some time alone, bathing and pampering yourself!
