what I do

Hi,

I've had an excess hair problem since I was 13. I remember being terrified when I was young, seriously thinking I was turning into a werewolf. I laugh about it now but back then I was so scared (too many late night horror films I guess). Anyway, I've had to shave my face since I was 15 it started with just my sideburns once a week and progressed from there. I've tried waxing my face, but to be honest the whole experience is very tramatic, letting my hair grow out on my face, going into a salon and having people see me like that, I've done it a couple of times, will never do it again. So I started tweezing the whole thing (thing being beard, I cringe just writting that).
Well anyway I just thought I'd share what my routine between tweezings is. When I'm in the shower I use St Ives Apricot Scrub (this removes the dry skin and makes my skins smooth, LOVE IT) then I shave (cringe again), when I get out of the shower I use a light moisturizer, then here is the best thing I have ever found Max Factor Panstick. I have tried every product that they sell at Rite Aid and this by far is the best. I rub the panstick on my jawbone a little on my nose and forhead then blend it together. Then add a little blush that is in a stick form to my cheeks for color. Then I top it all off with a little powder, either cover girl loose powder or physicans formula, I use a big fluffy makeup brush, makes me feel like a movie star. One good thing about being hairy is I have great eyelashes, curl those babies up! About halfway through the day, I wash my face and apply everything again to keep it looking fresh. I know all about 5 oclock shawdows and being so insecure that you can't even leave the house, I've been there, but life is great and I feel beautiful. Hope this helps.
