If in serious doubt, consider a depilatory powder to dissolve your facial hair. Use this powder with extreme caution. Depilatory powder is highly alkaline, and can chemically burn the face if incorrectly applied. It also takes several days for the hair to grow back after a single treatment--although the hair will grow back finer.

Tips & Warnings
Use depilatory powders only after three or four days of not shaving, and post-condition your face thoroughly. You may want to test the powder on a small area of your face, and evaluate the results in the coming days, before applying to the whole face. Do not, under any circumstances, use a depilatory powder designed for women's legs.
