Bleaching:

Commonly done in all beauty parlours. Once you get the hang of it, you can buy the kit and do it yourself at home too. Bleaching makes your facial hair look fair and makes it less evident.

Kitchen remedies are also available for bleaching. Slight facial hair can be camouflaged with regular use of turmeric powder on the face. However care must be taken not to overdo it, as it can lead to yellow tones on your face.

Tweezing:

Quite a few women choose to tweeze their face and remove extra hair. Since this can be done at home at no cost and isn't a painful procedure, this seems to be a popular option. But beauticians fear that this could lead to skin irritation and lead to skin scarring. Tweezing few stray hairs is acceptable. But doing it to remove a heavier growth isn't really recommended.

Depilatory creams:

They're popularly referred to as hair removing creams. These creams work by dissolving the hair at the base of the follicle. These creams are painless, and relatively inexpensive. But they are recommended more for wide-spread areas like hands and legs. Gentle areas like the face can be very sensitive and react adversely to such creams. Besides you need to keep using the cream every two or three weeks.

Waxing:

It's considered the most popular solution for hair removal. It's commonly used to remove hair on the upper lip and sides of the face as well. Waxing is capable of removing even the fine hairs. But it can sometimes lead to darkening and inflammation of the skin.

Electrolysis:

Low levels of electricity are used to deaden hair follicles. These results last a long time. But the process is expensive and extremely time consuming, as it works on one hair follicle at a time. Besides, if done inaccurately, it can cause deep scarring. People going in for this option should ensure they go to a well experienced professional who can do an excellent job.

Laser treatment:

This is the latest treatment available for hair removal. Fair skins with dark hair respond better to this kind of treatment. Dark skinned people need well experienced practitioners to get good results. Certain skin types don't respond to this treatment at all. Those who have blonde hair on their face would find the laser treatment very ineffective. It is better to check your skin type and your ability to respond to the treatment before you go in for this expensive method.
