Old Lady Facial Hair

I will. On YouTube there are quite a few videos about it. I ordered the tea from Amazon and in the reviews some people mentioned that be the reason why they purchased it. So time will tell........

I couldn't help but notice at the senior's club meeting yesterday, how many women have long hairs on their face. One woman I used to deliver meals-on-wheels to had ones so long they curled up and over her chin - I wanted to grab them and yank them out. I keep after mine and do stray hair patrol evey few days and pluck out any I can see or feel. Am I OCD about this, or don't other women consider it necessary to do this grooming procedure?

No, you are not OCD. Back in about 2005, I had facial hair and started shaving. Not much hair, just enough to notice, I keep it shaved daily and it is considered good grooming. Some of that is caused by medication.

I think it's very sad to see elderly ladies with this problem, they may not realise or even know what to do about it, a little hair removal cream would solve it in minutes but a lot of carers/families seem to think it doesn't matter....

Actually hair removal cream did not remove mine. It just irritated my skin. I pluck mine out. I do not shave them, because it makes everything look harsh. My sister did that. It looked awful. Maybe these women just accept themselves the way they are. There's nothing wrong with having whiskers. It's kind of like guys going bald.
 
I use one of those battery operated Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Removers. I keep it in my make up drawer and do a quick shave if I feel/see and facial hair. Quick and painless. Let's see if I can manage to insert a picture here.

I stumbled upon this post a couple of days ago and yep it definitely struck a chord with me
The older I get I am finding odd curly hairs around my chin....some are so pale as to be almost invisible
I have also developed stray 'moustache' hairs and some are pale but others are dark
I must sound like I am developing a handlebar moustache but I assure you I am not
It is Father's Day in Oz today and I thought there is no better time to buy an Epilator....except maybe Christmas
I browsed online for a good brand not an 'el cheapo' and found a reputable brand with a 2 year guarantee
Thanks to all the respondents to this thread because your info was invaluable

I've always wondered why Mother's Day is the same in Oz as it is in North America .. but not Father's Day. Time to do some research.
 
Quick methods for removal of female facial hair would include tweezing, epilation (a device used to pull out hairs), dying the hair, depilatories (creams like Nair), waxing, threading, trimming with scissors, and shaving with a razor. Although dying the hair doesn't remove the hair, it lightens the hair so it isn't as noticeable.

For more permanent removal of facial hair a woman could try laser hair removal, electrolysis, prescription creams, and hormone treatments or oral contraceptives. Many of the painful methods which work by pulling out the hair will become less painful with time.

Know that makeup won't fix it. Make-up will not cover hairs, and will patch around it, so should be avoided in areas with hair, as it will only make it more noticeable with this. Make-up should be worn in areas where you do not have facial hair, to distract focus. For example, hairs on the upper lip, natural lipstick, and a smokey eye.

If you're young, wait it out. When your hormones calm down the hair will likely disappear (or become less visible) on its own.
 
I find myself missing my black facial hairs because I (like so many of us) need glasses to see close up, and I generally don't like having my glasses on when looking in the mirror because I usually stand back a bit from the mirror, so being close and trying to look at my face my glasses get in the way. It's really bad trying to pluck my eyebrows or put on eye make up! Plus my dark hairs are mostly on the sides of my face, towards my ears or down further on my neck to the side which I can't see either. And my husband, bless him but he never tells me when he sees the hairs! This drives me crazy! If he said something I would at least go try and pull them out.

I have an epilator which works okay but tends to miss hairs and if I'm using it on my sides or neck area, I can't see what hairs its missed. I used to get my face waxed but that is so expensive! I may resort to asking my husband if he can pluck out the odd hair I can't see. We have been married long enough I don't think that would turn him off too much. At least I hope it won't!

Nair breaks my skin out and does not dissolve the hair. Scissors don't get close enough. Bleaching them does not work, and it irritates the skin. A razor causes stubble with the other hairs that were fine until you shave the tops off. Hormone treatment causes cancer. My sister died of it. They do not disappear. I've never tried electrolosis, but it didn't work for my mother-in-law. The only thing that works for me is tweezers, and then I have to be able to detected them, one way or another.

I have one of those portable magnifying mirrors, so I can get up close to put on eyeliner, as I have poor eyesight. It helps with seeing those stray hairs.

I have one too, but it does not help me. I don't wear makeup. I stopped tweezing my eyebrows when I could no longer see the hairs very well. I decided plucking the eyebrows was dumb anyway unless one has a uni-brow.

Some guys let it slip, too. They have one or two really long eyebrow hairs, nose hairs hanging out and hair near their ear canal. They have more hair in these places than on top of their head!

OMG, I needed this laugh. Visualizing these long eyebrow and nasal hairs has me grossed out at the present time. Ugghhhh. I get easily grossed out with 'stuff'... hence not becoming a nurse. LOL
