Facial Hair Remover Razors For You To Pick
1. Shaving
Shaving is one of the most popular facial hair removal methods to choose from because of how quick and painless the process of shaving your face, or your body for that matter, is. The clean shaven look can last for a couple of days to a week before it needs to be redone. Shaving does not require multiple tools; simply the razor and shaving gel or foam. Shaving without the right skin tension, in the wrong direction or without post-shaving skincare can lead to ingrowths, red bumps and irritation on the skin. Sensitive skin is most prone to irritation post shaving and if you have thick, coarse hair, shaving is possible but requires more caution compared to any other skin type.
2. Waxing
Waxing is usually carried out in beauty parlours or salons under the guidance of a professional. However those with adequate skill can also wax their facial hair at home. Waxing beads, roll-on wax and pre-coated wax strips make the process of waxing at home much easier and less messy. As waxing removes hair from the root, its effects can last from a couple of weeks to a month and a half. It also removes dead surface skin cells. The tugging motion can sometimes be tough on thin, sensitive skin which can lead to redness and irritation.
3. Threading
The signature method of the Indian beauty parlour, threading is quick and non-messy but can hurt. It removes facial hair from the surface hence needs to be repeated after a couple of weeks to a month. The threading motion can leave certain skin types red, bumpy and even bruised if not done carefully.

4. Laser Hair Removal
Done strictly in clinics under the care of a skin professional, laser hair removal requires multiple sessions to completely remove hair. Its effects are long term and it also decreases the thickness of future hair growth. As it is an professional procedure, it is expensive, can be time-consuming and cannot be done by oneself at home.
5. Tweezing
Tweezing can remove stray individual hairs with only a tweezer required. It doesn't need much other expertise except the right motion to pull the hair out. If done incorrectly, it can lead to hair pulls. It isn't suitable for wide patches of hair as it can be time consuming.
6. Facial Trimmer
A trimmer removes facial hair from the surface quickly, easily and painlessly with only the device required. Its many advantages are why facial trimmers are a highly preferred method for facial hair removal.
7. Depilatory Creams
There are hair removal creams specially designed for facial hair. They are gentle on the skin and remove hair quickly without any pain involved.
