Shaving
It is one of the quick and easy ways to remove facial hair. All you need is a disposable razor and some shaving cream. Clean your face with soap and water and then apply a layer of shaving cream, glide the razor in the direction of hair growth and tada, all the hair is gone.
This method seems to be the easiest but it has its own cons. Most common is that shaving can cause ingrown hair. Other than this there a high chance of getting cuts
that might lead to infection. Also this method is temporary so you might become annoyed and as you have to do it again and again.
Waxing
Waxing is another way of removing facial hair. This method is also temporary but the effect lasts longer as the hair gets pulled off from the roots. You can use wax strips at home, but make sure those wax strips are specifically designed for the face. Before waxing do a patch test on your skin, to see whether you develop any allergic reaction to the wax. It’s always better to get it done by a professional.
The most common problem with waxing is that it is painful, and the level of pain depends on the person. Waxing can also cause ingrown hairs and burns if not done properly.
Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is a considerable way to remove facial hair. It is one of the best ways of facial hair removal as the result last very long and sometimes even permanent. This method includes damaging or destroying the hair follicles through laser beams.
The cons of laser hair removal is that it is really expensive and not everyone can afford it. Also this needs to be done by a professional.
