Call it any way you want – peach fuzz, downy hair and baby hair, to name a few. No matter what you call it, however, it presents a special dilemma for women – to subject it to facial hair removal methods or not, that is. Well, of course, you have a choice!
Wear It with Pride
In many parts of the world, peach fuzz is not too big an issue, both in the fashion and hygiene sense. For one thing, you and others cannot see it all that much most of the time. Unless and until, one closely scrutinizes it with a magnifying glass or you constantly place yourself in situations where the light emphasizes its presence.
Then again, it is said that the greatest of all Hollywood sex symbols – none other than the tragic Marilyn Monroe, of course – let her peach fuzz alone. As a result, her almost ethereal glow in pictures was attributed to her fine blond facial hairs reflecting the strong lights of the cameras. Now, wouldn’t you want that kind of, ahem, glow by laying off on the facial hair removal methods?
Another reason that you may want to leave your peach fuzz alone is to provide you with more protection against the harsh elements of nature. This is especially true if you have sensitive skin that does not react well to facial hair removers or if you live in an area of extreme weather.
Say Your Goodbyes
For many women, however, facial hair by any other name is still facial hair. Ergo, it must go by hook or by crook. Or rather, by electric razor or tweezers or laser or electrolysis, whichever is most convenient for pocket and preference.
Reasons for availing of the various facial hair removal methods can include self-consciousness with the opposite sex, feelings of insecurity and just plain societal pressure. Regardless of the method preferred, you must always carefully consider your options as this is your face we are talking about. It’s always better to go with peach fuzz than to live with adverse side effects on your face for the entire world to see.
Anyways, your options include the following, all of which offer differing degrees of safety and efficacy.
Purchase the waxing products available at many pharmacies and drugstores. Just be careful as these products are often most effective on thicker, coarser hair on the arms and legs than on the finer peach fuzz.
Shave your peach fuzz, which is also a method of facial hair removal most commonly used by men. Unfortunately, you might end up with manly stubble and/or shadow that will say you should have let your face well enough alone.
Pluck at it with a pair of tweezers. Or maybe not as it can hurt like, well, hell.
See your dermatologist for medical treatments like laser and electrolysis. Be prepared for pain to your physical self and your pockets although the results are often well worth them.
Now that you know about these facial hair removal methods, you should be able to make the decision: To go or not to go with your peach fuzz? Ultimately, you will be living with the results so do choose wisely.
