Unhappy So much facial hair! Have to shave daily.. anyone else?

I have bad facial hair, and it is really depressing me.. I have to shave daily like a man as I cannot wait to wax as you can see it!! I am on Metformin again but I don't know, what do you girls all do to get rid of the hair? Does anyone swear by a certain product??

Yep, every other day. Noto mention the straggily stray hairs that appearing on my cheeks; and the hairs on my mustaches are starting to get unruly.

I know the feeling. I looked into the cost of laser and I would have ended up paying $3000, which is definitely not in the budget

I use Flutamide which has been great. It hasn't banished the hair totally, during one part of the month I seem to have a wee facial sprout which I pluck away, but the difference is hugely appreciated. I'm no longer having to pluck every day or have a tummy trail and my bikini line no longer goes down to my knees.

What exactly is Flutamide Tanya? A BCP? Or something else?

I shave every single day because I have a horrible full black beard. In fact I shave twice a day if I'm going out at night, because you can feel the stubble by about mid-afternoon. It's disgusting and if I had one wish it would be to have none of this awful hair!

I always carry tweezers and a compact mirror around. I'm paranoid that someone will notice the thick dark hair on my face (not to mention hair everywhere else it should not be...except on my head). It's not fun. I've tried Spirono, but it made me vomit...Is there anything else that I could try?

I know that losing my weight has helped with the hair... it's beginning to go away. not completly though, just less and I can last longer during the day without stubble. usually I'd have to shave 2x a day. I also do not use shaving cream to harsh on my skin. I use hair conditioner.... before I rinse my face, I rub the conditioner off to smoothe any irritation. ALWAYS USE A SHARP RAZOR!

Yup, I've got the facial hair as well. I shave at least once a day and I also pluck once or twice a day to get some of the hairs I missed. I've also become quite a bit of a master at using my finger nails to pluck hairs out. It's kind of odd, but at work when I'm stressing out it helps me to try use my fingers to try to pluck a hair out. I guess it's the concentrating on something else, I don't know.
