Going to work can be extremley uncomfortable cuz I'm a housekeeper so I can work up quite a sweat so I put my hair up & all I think about is how horrible my face looks!! I have had 2 lhr treatments (one last July & 1 in Feb 09) but since I'm not on any meds cuz I have no insurance it probably was a waste of money. The results were so great though!!
I was also wondering if anyone has had any results with exfoliating, somehow?
I have noticed that after I shave most of the hairs I still see are hiding just below the skin. I thought maybe if I exfoliated first I'd get a closer shave? Any tips would be great!! |
Don't let it get you down. Millions of women shave -- I've been shaving since I was 13 and every day since I was 15.
For me the answer has been to accept that I have male-type facial hair and to use a men's-type electric razor -- a Philips Norelco with rotary heads.
My only hint is, whatever sort of way you shave, wet or electric, be sure to use a razor designed for
men because it's designed to deal with male-type beard growth rather than leg and underarm hair.
