Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Dye, Tweezers, Razor, and/or cream (Vaniqa)

1. Dye or bleach your chin hairs if there isn't that many and/or they're short. This will make them much less noticable and save you the hassle of the following steps.
2. Pluck individual chin hairs with tweezers or threading. With only one or two whiskers this work very well and may or may not stave off additional growth for some time. If these hairs become ingrown try exfoliating early before they turn into big red bumps.
3. Shave and exfoliat if you have more than a bit of bristle. Shaving your chin hairs is a continual, short-term solution but it's simple and safe.
4. Wax persistent chin hair or just to achieve a smoothness that shaving cnanot. Home waxing kits are readily available, but make sure you have time to spend by yourself as your face can become very irritated.
5. Apply hair removal cream such as Nair. Alternatively try a hair retardent like Vaniqa which will inhibit key enzymes causing hair to grow back slower and thinner which makes plucking/waxing more effective and easier.

Tips & Warnings

• Invest in the best tools (tweezers, razor, etc.) for better results.
• Laser hair removal has been known to cause facial discoloration so you may want to avoid it if you have fair-toned skin.
• Learn the possible side effects of any hair removal cream and try it on a small part of your skin first. Allergic reactions aren't extremely common, but it's always a possibility.
