Unwanted Facial Hair

K.,
ou can purchase a waxing kit from a beauty supply house. What you would pay for 1 service at a salon will pay for the kit and you will get many uses out of it. I got those brown patches when I was pregnant with my first, they went away afterwards. they came back with my second pregnancy and have never gone away. Just one of those things :(

PCOS often times causes unwanted facial hair. Do some research on it to see if you fit some of the other symptoms. If you do, your doctor might be able to help you out.

This is a proble I have faced for the better part of my life. And yes much worse during pregnancy (on my 4th progo right now). I try to wax and pluck in between. They do have home wax kits at say Wal-Mart or other drug stores. I don't think they work very well though. Look around, maybe you can find someone who does waxing cheaper.
Good luck!

Well I know someone said that this isn't normal....but it is...and I talked to my GYN about it and they tested me and I am fine. All my levels were normal. With my first pregancy I thought it was because I was carrying a boy....but with my second pregnacy I was carrying my daughter and the hair still came. I have a lot of peach fuzz.....I have a few hairs that are coarse...they are black or gray! but the blonde peach fuzz is every where.... :O( I hate it....but I just leave it be. No waxing no shaving nothing....I am afraid it will come back thicker.....I just wanted you to know that is is Normal!
Good luck....if you find anything that helps pass the wisdom on!

An expensive, but maybe more permanent, solution would be to laser it, but I don't know much about that. :( An extremely cheap ,and easy to keep up, method...although some women may seriously think I'm crazy, is to just shave it off. If its just a little, then you could do that every day with your normal beauty routines...but my facial hair is really soft and not course...so it doesn't seem to be very obvious. But, I don't think there's anything wrong with grooming like a man!!! It can't hurt, can it?

K., I had that too! Try grey ones! ewww! Anyhow, I went to a dermatologist, she took a blood test and said that I have a few to much"male homones". There is a medication for it that is only a 3 month treatment. Hope I helped! L.

they are at home waxing kits that you can buy at walmart...or is there a beauty school in your area you can go too. i have my brows waxed at our local beauty school and the girls do a great job and it's a fraction of the cost of going to a salon. or you could save up your $ for a while and go have electrolisis...but it costs several hundred $ per area

I am a SAH granny of 63 years and if you think facial hair is a problem now, wait until you are my age (which, is of course stupid advice since you HAVE to wait to get to my age) but anyway...get a home waxing kit...the kind that heats in the micro for tuff "beards" and you can use the press on by Sally Hansen (Hanson?)which removes most of a mustache. Who ever thought we would stop having cramps, bloating,ovulation,giant blood clots the size of Maine, swollen breasts, headaches, and hideous underwear just to go right into sweating like hogs with beards that have to be ripped from our faces that have been pampered with eons of expensive creams and lotions!

I don't know if its "normal" or not... I do know that all the women in my family struggle with it because we all have dark hair and medium complexions. My sisters and I are big fans of Laser treatment. Its quick and easy and lasts for a LONG time, if not forever. I do my chin and bikini about once a year for maintainence purposes. I go to "Radiant" in Blue Ash. Check them out because I think your first visit is free. Good Luck!

me too. I get the sally hansen wax strips at cvs and do it myself. It stinks, but I don't think it's going away! Good luck!!

I have the same problem! I picked up a tube of Nair -- the 'sensitive' type especially made for facial hair -- and smear it all over my chin (and under my chin) once a week (whether I see one hair or several). I leave it on probably 8 minutes. This works well. I still find the occasional stray, which I pluck out with pointed tweezers.

Hope this helps!

Whatever you do, Do NOT SHAVE. You will have a beard in 10 years. I have the same problem with my chin and I can get obsessed. My suggestion is never look in the mirror of your car on a sunny day or you'll freak out about all the hairs you have. Also, I think a waxing kit is a good idea because it seems like when your hair comes back in it's less course. Anyone I have ever met that have used nair or shaved have extremely course hair now and it's a lot thicker. Good Luck and let me know if you find a solution....
