If you have problems with hair on your upper lip, you should know that you are not alone. Other than problems with wrinkles and fine lines, this is probably one of the most annoying and common problems that women have. Most just hide it very well. There are quite a few things you can do to get rid of or disguise your hair problem, and just one of them is upper lip waxing. When you do this, there are a few things that can help you do a better job with as little pain as possible.
Before you begin with upper lip waxing, you can do a few things to make the procedure go much more smoothly. You should remember that not all waxing kits are going to work the same. You can go to a salon for this, but if you are doing upper lip waxing at home, you have a few different options from which to choose. You should read the details on each kit you see in the store before you buy one so you know you understand. Some come with strips that you rub between your hands, and others are a bit more complicated.
Once you are sure you know how you are going to use your upper lip waxing kit, you can then start. Before you use anything in that kit, do a few things to make it less painful. You should think about the time of the month in which you are doing this. If you are close to your period or ovulation, you may find waxing more painful than other times of the month. That does not have to stop you from doing waxing upper lip hair, but at least you know it is going to be a bit more painful. That can prepare you for the pain.
One of the best times to do upper lip waxing is when you have just gotten out of a hot shower. The hair pores are more open then, and the wax is going to grab more and pull more out. You can also put a hot washcloth on your upper lip for about five minutes before you wax for the same effect. Pat the area dry, and then use a small amount of powder on your lip. This powder, used before upper lip waxing, ensures there is no moisture or skin oil on your upper lip. This allows the wax to better grip each hair for better results.
If you do upper lip waxing and decide that it is not something you want to have to do all of the time, you have a few different options. You can use a chemical hair remover that you can find in the same area of the store you would buy the wax. You can also shave, but you wont find many people that recommend this for various reasons. When your hair is not that thick or horribly dark, you can always try upper lip bleaching. That leaves the hair, but it allows it to blend into the skin color so no one can tell it is there.
