Let’s talk about something a little hairy… facial hair!
Yes, everyone has facial hair—whether you like it or not! From that subtle peach fuzz on your cheeks to a hint of a mustache above your lip, it’s all part of being human. So, let’s dive into why it’s there, what purpose it serves, and how to say goodbye to it (if that’s what you want). This one’s for everyone—guys, girls, and everyone in between—who’s ever wondered what’s up with facial hair.
SO, WHY DO WE HAVE FACIAL HAIR?
Lip Hair – The fine hairs on our upper lip help protect the delicate skin around the mouth. It’s a common misconception that only men have facial hair or a mustache. In reality, everyone, including women, has (fine) hairs around the lips.
Chin Hair – Chin hair is often a result of hormonal activity and can sometimes increase with age. It’s there to protect the sensitive skin on your chin from external elements. Plus, in evolutionary terms, hair around the mouth and chin could’ve helped protect against wind, sun, and other environmental factors.
Brow Hair – Your eyebrows? They’re not just for expression—they’re there to protect your eyes! Brow hair deflects moisture, like sweat or rain, away from your eyes, helping to keep your vision clear. So, eyebrows serve both a practical and aesthetic purpose.
SHOULD YOU REMOVE IT?
Removing facial hair is totally a personal choice. If facial hair is not your vibe, there are plenty of safe ways to go smooth. Here’s a quick rundown:
- Shaving: Fast and easy, but can lead to stubble and needs regular upkeep.
- Waxing: Offers longer-lasting results but can be irritating for sensitive skin.
- Threading: Great for precise areas like brows and upper lips, though it can be a bit painful.
- Tweezing: Ideal for small touch-ups but time-consuming for larger areas.
- Depilatory Creams: Effective but may cause reactions, so patch test first!
- Laser Hair Removal: Long-term solution but requires multiple sessions and is not permanent, especially for lighter hair color and darker skin tones. .
- Electrolysis: The only FDA approved permanent hair removal technique. It uses a refined, bendy probe to deliver heat directly to and destroy hair roots. It works for every hair type and skin tone, no exceptions.
With all the information out there and people talking about unwanted hair, just remember, it’s okay to have facial hair—it’s natural! Embrace your beauty, and if you decide to remove it, do it on your terms, with a technique that suits you best, and with confidence.
