Having facial hair is a serious problem for many women. You can combat this phenomenon in various ways. Some really help, others fix the problem temporarily. By choosing the wrong method, you can not only harm yourself, but also aggravate the situation by making facial hair denser and thicker. In this article we will look at hair bleaching methods that will lead to their systematic elimination. We will also find out which means can be called the most effective.
Salon treatments
What methods are used in specialized salons to remove unwanted facial hair? Let's consider the list of basic cosmetic interventions.
AFT hair removal
This is spot hair removal, which allows you to sequentially remove each hair using a special laser. And although the procedure is very unpleasant and painful, especially for those with sensitive facial skin, it is still very effective. It is carried out in several stages at once.
Depilation with silk thread
Depilation with a silk thread allows you to remove the finest small hairs on the face without much pain. Also, systematically carrying out the procedure will reduce the stiffness and thickness of the hair.

However, it is recommended to carry out such a procedure only in a medical setting in order to avoid introducing infection into open pores.
Sugaring
The sugaring procedure is the removal of unwanted hair using sugar paste. The procedure is quite painful but effective. Over time, hair practically stops growing and becomes duller and brittle. Over time, they may disappear completely. You can carry out the sugaring procedure both at home and in the salon.

Ultrasonic hair removal
Ultrasonic hair removal is an expensive, but at the same time effective procedure. Allows targeted hair removal using ultrasound. It has been proven that hair grows much slower and eventually disappears altogether.
Waxing
Waxing can be painful if your facial hair is coarse and thick. However, such waxing will be incredibly effective in situations where hair grows quickly. Over time, the growth rate decreases. One of the most accessible and inexpensive salon procedures.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis is carried out under the influence of electric current. Combines two positive effects at once. Firstly, it relieves the patient of unwanted hair, and secondly, it rejuvenates the facial skin when exposed to microcurrent radiation.

Laser Qool hair removal
Laser hair removal is performed only by a specially trained doctor who removes facial hair in a targeted manner. The procedure is painless, however, it must be carried out in several stages until facial hair is completely eliminated.
Photoepilation
Photoepilation is a procedure that allows you to get rid of hair as a result of a photo flash. One of the most painless methods of hair removal, but to achieve the effect, a complex of procedures is required. Expensive but effective.
Making ointment from improvised means
To prepare a composition for destroying dark hairs on the face, you need to stock up on the following components:
- ammonia alcohol;
- hydrogen peroxide.
- hydroperit.
First, you need to crush the hydroperite tablets to a powder state. It is best to do this in a mortar, but if you don’t have one, you can wrap the pills in a clean cloth and then hit them several times with a hammer. Then a few drops of ammonia and the same amount of 3% hydrogen peroxide are added to the powder. All this must be thoroughly mixed with a stick until a homogeneous composition is obtained.
The resulting ointment is applied to areas where dark hairs are noticed. The composition should remain there for no more than 10 minutes. After this, everything should be thoroughly washed off, and the skin on the face should be moisturized with a nourishing cream. As practice has shown, such an ointment not only completely bleaches dark hairs, but also makes them more brittle and fragile. But we must remember that this composition can be used only once every 7 days, and there should be no pimples, cracks or wounds on the treated areas of the skin. Otherwise, this ointment causes irritation on the skin.
You can make the ointment according to another recipe. To do this you will need the following components:
- Petrolatum.
- Lanolin.
- Perhydrol.
- Ammonia.
- Shampoo.
The ointment is prepared by mixing ½ tsp. Vaseline with 1 tsp. lanolin. Then 4 drops of perhydrol (this is 30% hydrogen peroxide) are added to this mixture. Mix again until a homogeneous mass is formed. After this, you need to add a few drops of ammonia solution (ammonia alcohol) to the resulting mixture. Then add ½ tsp. shampoo
After this, you need to thoroughly beat the mixture. This can be done using a mixer. The resulting homogeneous mass is transferred to a jar with a lid.
To use this ointment, take it with a cotton swab or spatula and apply it to the areas where dark hairs are found. The ointment remains there until it dries completely.
Then you need to thoroughly rinse the composition with warm water, and apply a moisturizing or nourishing cream to the skin in the treated areas. This composition can only be used once every 7 days.
Precautionary measures
Before deciding on a particular procedure, you need to follow some rules.
First, find out what components and components you are allergic to.
First, examine your body; perhaps excess hair is causing a hormonal surge.
Thirdly, be sure to find out the sensitivity of your skin and inform your cosmetologist about it before the procedure. Perhaps certain interventions are contraindicated for you.
Paints
To simplify the preliminary manipulations of creating a special product, women prefer to purchase ready-made formulations. Special creams, which are easy to find in professional cosmetics stores, can slightly reduce the intensity of the dark pigment of the hairs.
These products are used strictly according to the instructions that come with them. As a rule, the holding time does not exceed 15 minutes. After the procedure, redness may appear, which will disappear on its own within an hour.
The method is not used in girls with sensitive skin types, and necessarily requires a preliminary allergy test.
Contraindications
The hair bleaching procedure cannot be performed if you have moles or other formations in the area of hair growth.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- If you have chronic diseases that do not allow you to perform one or another type of procedure.
- If you experience a severe allergic reaction to certain interventions.
- In addition, it is recommended to first get tested in order to understand what the state of your health is and what consequences certain interventions may have.
Lemon juice
Lemon juice has long been known as a mustache lightening agent, and it can also whiten the skin. If you decide to use such an effect, you should remember that it is fraught with the development of serious irritation.
Before using this method, a test is performed to determine the possibility of an allergic reaction.
The mask is prepared as follows:
- mix 1.5 tablespoons of lemon or lime juice with a teaspoon of sugar;
- apply to problem areas, not forgetting the rest of the face (otherwise, the skin above the lip will lighten, which will become especially noticeable);
- rinse with cool water after 10 minutes.
An alternative method is to mix lemon juice with egg white. Each protein requires 15 lemon juice. The composition is applied with a brush and removed after 20 minutes by rinsing with water.
When the fight against hair occurs in the summer, you can do this: lubricate the area with juice and go sunbathing . In half an hour, the skin will become discolored, and so will the hairs.
Is it possible to bleach facial hair permanently?
Yes, there is a practice for permanently bleaching facial hair. To do this they need to be weakened. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically carry out the whitening or maintenance procedure. However, many women simply do not have the strength to wait for such a long time; they continue to shave their hair, thereby strengthening it and making it gradually tougher.
Also, almost complete hair removal and hair removal can be achieved as a result of various cosmetic procedures, namely laser.
Lightening hair with chickpea flour
Chickpea flour is one of the not very well known, but very effective means for lightening facial hair. In addition, it brings the complexion tone closer to the ideal shade and removes dead skin particles from the surface of the skin.

Reviews
Marina, 32 years old
After giving birth, I developed hair above my upper lip. It looks very ugly. At first I tried to pull out the hair with tweezers. It is very painful, and over time they appeared again. Then I decided to try medical methods. I went for a laser removal procedure. I liked everything. And after three procedures, that is, three months, I completely forgot that I had ever had such a problem.

As a result of an unsuccessful pregnancy, I had a hormonal surge. I have gained a little weight, and hair has also appeared on my face. I fought them with different methods. I plucked it out and removed it with wax. Homemade bleaching with lemon helped. I got rid of my problem after six months.
Evgeniya, 29 years old
We don't have very good heredity in the female line. Everyone develops coarse black hair above the lip. I removed it with tweezers and shaved it. Then, I began to use the method of using pharmaceutical ointments. I made some myself using lemon. It helped me, after some time, to see my face again without ugly hair. I'm happy.

Which is the best bleaching cream?
The basis of any hair bleaching product is the basic constant ingredients:
- lanolin,
- hydrogen peroxide,
- petrolatum.
All other ingredients play a supporting role and do not directly participate in lightening. When purchasing such products, it is worth balancing the desire to make hairs invisible and the potential harm that cosmetics can cause - the more active ingredients in its composition, the greater the risk of getting side effects instead of the expected result.
Among the most effective and safest creams for bleaching facial hair are the following.
Bleaching Cream, costs about 350 rubles. The low price of the product is due to the absence of an oxidizing agent in the kit (it must be purchased separately) and the presence of a small amount of aggressive ammonia in the cream itself. The benefits of the product lie in the jojoba oil included in the composition, which softens the effect of the cream on the skin, and a very high-quality lightening effect. It is applied like this:
- the cream is mixed with a separately purchased oxidizing agent (the manufacturer recommends CREMOXON Kapous) in a ratio of one to two,
- the product is carefully distributed over the area that needs to be discolored,
- leave for up to an hour, and you should visually monitor the discoloration - the cream can make the hairs lighter by 8 tones.
Decocream X-Chromatic, average price - 890 rubles. This product is positioned as a professional product, so before applying it you need to consult a cosmetologist and do a test for an allergic reaction. The product contains natural extracts and oils, which characterizes it positively.
Before application, it is necessary to thoroughly mix the oxidizing agent with the cream, a viscous mass should be obtained, and only then apply it to the skin. The exposure time depends on how much you want to lighten your hair - this ultra-modern product can make your hair 9 shades lighter.
Oway WithOut, average cost of the product is 2000 rubles. This professional product can make hair lighter by 6 tones, while not harming the skin, thanks to the content of acai, argan, and olive oils. The product has only one contraindication - it cannot be used by minors.
The method of using the product is standard - the cream is mixed with an oxidizing agent, mixed until smooth and applied to the vegetation. It is necessary to monitor the discoloration process visually, since the product acts quite quickly.
Milk and papaya fight against bleached hair
Well-known milk and exotic papaya, combined together, can work real miracles. An important advantage of this product is the possibility of its use in women with any skin type.
The mask is prepared by mixing a teaspoon of milk and 2 tablespoons of papaya, previously pureed. The mask is kept for up to an hour, then removed with cool water. After the first use, you will see a positive effect and softening of the skin.
Chamomile decoction
Regular use of chamomile decoction gives an excellent effect, the hairs will become lighter, the skin will glow from the inside. This method is characterized by high efficiency and minimal financial investment.
The decoction is easy to prepare:
- Place 2 tablespoons of inflorescences in a thermos;
- pour 100 ml of boiling water over the flowers;
- leave for 4 hours;
- strain.
The product is used by regular (up to several times a day) rubbing of the skin. The first results can be assessed after just two days of using the decoction.
