@ Kat:
I can't afford laser treatment at the moment, but I'll keep the option open. I know it might eventually become my only option.
For anti-androgens I first tried saw palmetto berries and it made my facial hair worse. I thought giving it time will make it work, but after 3 months I stopped. I then bought saw palmetto extract hoping it would be better, but it also didn't help. It made things worse but not as much as with the berries. I am taking vitex and drinking spearmint & chamomille tea 4-5 times a week. I've seen a slight improvement but it's not what I would like. I currently have to wax once a week. Thanks for the cream suggestion!
@ Kindred:
thank you for your suggestions! One question: how long did it take to see results? how did that work on smaller bumps? Last year I heard of men using that method, so I did try (didn't add anything else) but I guess i was too impatient because after one use it didn't make a lot of difference with my small bumps. I left it on for 5 min. How many times a week do you do it? I should try this again.
@ Ms_Peaches:
I agree with you, I'm not touching a skin lightener ever again! lol it made my skin look really weird only after 2 weeks use. I started using dudu osun though! However I read on another forum that it's not "real" black soap. Real black soap or not, it's helping!
I totally forgot about cocoa butter. I was thinking of making my own light shea butter cream, blended with a little neroli essential oil and vitamin e to help fade the spots. I might as well just use cocoa butter (thanks for the links!).
So far flaxseed oil and drinking lots of water and tea is helping. I find my skin less dry these days.
@ Karmiel:
I tweeze in between waxing sessions, but yeah it creates more bumps and more spots.
I don't know what the perfect method is. I started waxing because I was told it took off the hair from the root, thus will weaken the root and will diminish growth. After nearly 10 years of waxing I think I've got even more hair than before. And the hairy area extended. I suspect tweezing might do the same thing over time. Have you tried shaving? I'd like to try it again ... I hate feeling that stuble at the end of each day, and i'm terrified of my chin looking like a man's. But I think with proper skin care it won't get to that. If other ladies are doing it, it's probably manageable. hmm we'll see
Has any of you ladies tried the epicure? does it cause skin hyperpigmentation?
Thank you all for you help ladies, it means a lot to me
I've got many options to look into, thanks!
