Sugaring Female Moustache/Peachfuzz/Facial Hair?

I'm a 15-year old Asian female and I noticed that the hairs above my upper lip is slightly visible. From a foot away from my face it just looks like I have dark skin above my mouth that looks similar to a moustache, but when you look closer you'll notice the hairs. The hairs are soft and thin, but still visible. I know that it's somewhat common to find females with a bit of a moustache/peachfuzz but mine always bothers me since it makes me look manly.

So I heard about different methods, sugaring interested me the most. I was wondering if it really is effective and hurts less than waxing like it is said to be. I would also like to know how to make the solution and apply it. If sugaring isn't a good way to remove my little moustache problem, then I would appreciate it if you could recommend a better method :)

I use wax...the kind that you microwave first to make it warm...works like a charm, lasts for over a month, and REALLY doesn't hurt much at all!!

don't do it on your face! you could burn yourself badly with sugaring. only in a salon. buy some strips to wax it off in some beauty store. sugaring is mainly for legs.

I'm not familiar with sugaring but be very careful with the method you choose. Some methods such as plucking and electrolysis can actually cause a darkening of the skin above the lip due to pigmentation in the tiny scars that form as a result.

The moustache growth is a hormonal thing.

If there's not too much of it, do you really need to do anything? Most guys are OK about women with, for example, a slight moustache.

If you do decide you have to do something, then there isn't a simple answer and there's a lot of misleading "information" around.

Facial (and also body) hair on women comes about in the same way as on men because of

1) your body being sensitized, before you were even born, to testosterone -- doesn't happen to all girls, but does to many

2) your body producing high levels of testosterone

The growth rate and coarseness of the hair depends on just how much testosterone is circulating in your bloodstream.

Steer clear of bleaching -- when someone sees you against the light you'll look as if you have a glowing moustache and/or beard.

As far as removing it is concerned it's worth remembering that

* Waxing, plucking, threading, epilating all pull the hair out by the roots and where the growth is hormonally-driven can actually stimulate a dormant follicle into producing more hair quicker. They also distort the root if done repeatedly, leading to hair growing at strange angles. And you've got to let the hair grow to quite a length before you can repeat the exercise. It can also damage the skin and discolor it. Long-term use of waxing also causes bad wrinkles.

* Chemical depilatories strong enough to remove the hair are very likely to burn the skin, cause swelling and cause long-term discoloration of the skin.

* Laser is also liable to cause burning and discoloration and in any case only works effectively on a dark hair/light skin combinantion.

* Electrolysis is very liable to cause scarring and discoloration of the skin.

Which, like it or not, leaves shaving which does not damage the skin. Best done with a men's-style electric razor, the best of which, for women, are probably those from the men's range of Norelco razors (Philishave outside the US). Most women who try a men's Norelco wonder why nobody ever told them about it before.
