We all dream of being beautiful, and for this we resort to a bunch of cosmetics, as well as choose the right clothes and shoes for ourselves. But what if the problem cannot be solved with a simple choice of style? So I was faced with unpleasant vegetation above the upper lip. The mustache, which in seconds turned me from an attractive girl into Stalin's grandson. What to do? Take everything into your own hands! My personal proven methods of dealing with unwanted hairs above the upper lip are below.

Why antennae grow over the upper lip in women: causes and effects

When such a delicate problem manifested itself, I began to dig in all directions and put all my strength into searching for information on the topic. From what and why? Suddenly, I am somehow wrong, or even worse, is it really my only fiasco on my face. It turned out that this is a frequent companion of many ladies, especially those who have hard, thick hair on their heads, and if they are black in addition, then generally the guard. The mustache will be so visible that at least comb your hair!

It turned out that all this is not heredity, which I sinned most of all, since my dad had a rather impressive mustache, and an excess of testosterone in my body. This occurs from some minor hormonal disruptions, as well as as a result of nervous overstrain, etc. All this was told to me by an endocrinologist, whom I came to at a time when I did not know where to run with my "disease".

The doctor explained that this is a problem of every second woman , it does not require treatment and is not at all dangerous, you just need to find a suitable remedy for removal, since my tests were not bad. Filled with hope for a better outcome of the case, I hurried home, to choose best method, since the mustache above the upper lip bred on an incredible scale. “And I will look beautiful,” I decided and began to act.

Home methods of hair removal above the upper lip: what worked and what only made the problem worse

If your antennae are hardly noticeable, and even more so if you are blonde, then consider yourself doubly lucky. - essentially nothing needs to be done, just use the eyebrow tweezers, which are in any woman's cosmetic bag. And carefully, pull out all unnecessary hairs. As you grow, you simply repeat this process and voila! Your appearance beautiful! To avoid irritation after such a point pulling out, you need to apply any moisturizer.

But what can someone like me do? Who has a mustache visible from a kilometer away, as if I were a male in disguise in a skirt? As it turned out, there are more radical methods. I will consider each in more detail.

Depilatory cream

Everyone saw this advertisement, when the girl, after using the cream, beautifully lowered a silk scarf on her leg, and it slid down like clockwork. after using this depilatory cream, as smooth as baby's cheeks. "Why not? - I thought. - What if it helps to remove the antennae above the lip? These creams contain some kind of chemical enzymes that dissolve the hair follicle.

Having done everything according to the instructions, I gained enlightenment - the antennae disappeared before my eyes and did not appear for five days. I walked elated and thought that I had found mine the best remedy, but that was not the case. After this period, by the way, the box says that the skin will be smooth for at least two weeks, the mustache began to grow with a vengeance, and in three days I again became a relative of Stalin.

Pros: quick removal, inexpensive cream price, easy to use.

Minuses: short-lived result, increased hair growth after application.

And a friend who used the same cream also developed an allergy, which turned into dermatitis. So check the cream on your wrist before using, otherwise, along with the antennae above the upper lip, you can earn the redness of the entire face.

Shugaring

When I first heard this word, I thought it was some kind of sophisticated expletive, but I nevertheless found out what was what and decided to try this method as well. called the type of sugar depilation.

In order to remove hairs in this way, you need to prepare a special paste. Her recipe is below:

1. Sugar - 10 tablespoons;
2. Water - 1 tbsp;
3. Juice of half a lemon.

All this must be mixed, then put on a low heat and heated for a long time until the sugar turns into selected caramel and becomes a thick brown color. Next, you need to apply a warm, slightly cooled, sweet mixture to the place where there are hairs, in my case, in the place of the mustache above the upper lip, and cover it with a fabric strip.

It is better to take a regular fabric, cotton is fine. Then we wait about 5 minutes and abruptly tear off the fabric strip. Hair sticks to this mixture without residue. To avoid irritation, it is best to apply a soothing gel or lotion after the procedure.

And again my mood crept up - the antennae were gone! The joy, however, lasted exactly a week, well, at least I ate caramels from the remaining pasta.

Pros: simple, cheap, practically none side effects, well, except for the irritation from the process itself.

Minuses: very painful, short-lived result, long waiting time: both in the cooking process and in the process of solidification under the strip.

Shaving

I will say right away: never do this! Shaving will only make matters worse - the mustache will grow faster, and also become harder and darker, which happened to me at the dawn of my struggle with unwanted vegetation. Shaving in the evening - in the morning already stubble.

Pros: they are not!

Minuses: all of the above!

Waxing or waxing

Turning to shugaring, I stopped the struggle for a while and lived from week to week, however, at one point I thought, what if there is an even more radical method that can also be carried out at home, I didn’t want to go to disgrace to a beauty salon, where people do their hair, and I will show up with my mustache.

And then I discovered waxing or hot waxing. It was just a little, buy a suitable kit in a store or pharmacy and, according to the instructions, begin the removal procedure. I did just that, keeping in mind the good shugaring, and the result exceeded all expectations! The skin above the upper lip became so smooth, as if I were a baby and I didn't have those terrible antennae that spoil the whole appearance. And most importantly - time, I waited a week, the hairs did not grow! The second has come to an end and - oh, a miracle! Everything remained the same, and only in the middle, in the third week, I noticed that the timid fine hairs were breaking through again. Well, I really thought it was "almost" forever and got used to my updated appearance.

Pros: long-lasting result, the hairs become thinner, ease of use.

Minuses: the price can be high due to the quality of the wax, as well as from the place of purchase - more expensive in pharmacies. It is very painful, in salons, I heard they even do anesthesia, but beauty requires sacrifice. You can burn yourself in the process, because the wax is very hot.

Folk remedies

After wax depilation began to be very affordable, I thought that, probably, is and folk remedies to solve my delicate problem. A friend advised me to use dope grass seeds and walnut shells. The seeds need to be ground into flour, pour the mixture with vodka and leave for three weeks. With this composition, wipe areas with unwanted vegetation. And the shell must also be crushed and cooked over low heat for about 20 minutes. The resulting composition should also be applied to problem areas.

I've tried both methods, and here's my quick summary: no way! After the dope herb, a terrible burning sensation and allergies appear, you also need to remember that it is poisonous, and in large doses it cannot be used. Moreover, my hairs above the upper lip have not gone anywhere, only slightly thinned and began to fall out. And a week later, they returned again.

Mix with walnut did not cause allergies, but gave the same temporary effect.

Pros: simple, inexpensive.

Minuses: causes allergies, the effect is almost zero.

I was also advised to wipe my upper lip with a mixture of 6% hydrogen peroxide and 5 drops of ammonia. That still turned out to be sadism! From these procedures, peeling of the skin begins, and the hairs remain in place.

Cosmetological procedures that got rid of my antennae for good!

After all the ordeals, I nevertheless turned to the nearest beauty salon with my unusual request. It turned out that my problem is solved very quickly and efficiently. There were three modern methods to choose from.

Electrolysis

In the first method, a real current is applied to the hair follicle or follicle, as the cosmetologist explained, as a result of which it is completely destroyed. Each hair needs at least two minutes, but the result is stunning: the hairs will disappear forever!

Laser hair removal

In the second method, the effect is with a special laser beam, which splits the hair shaft, and then the bulb itself. This method is less reliable, however, it is more gentle, and the procedure is not as painful. And the price bites in order.

Photoepilation

The third method does an excellent job with light hair, irradiating the bulbs with a flash lamp and thereby destroying them, but problems can arise with dark, gray and red hairs. Photoepilation also has a number of contraindications for people with heart disease and diabetes mellitus.

You can also remove vegetation using laser hair removal - this is a safer technique with proven effectiveness, now used in the largest centers and beauty salons. The laser method prevents the appearance of ingrown hairs and has a long-lasting effect.

After listening to different opinions and consulting my beautician, I still settled on the first option. And you know, I didn’t regret it a bit! Yes, it was unpleasant, as if you were in the very center of the needle bed and sharp pins were constantly poked at you, but the result exceeded all expectations! The skin became smooth and soft immediately after the procedure. And now, almost a year has passed, and I forgot about my little problem, because now I look always attractive, and you quickly get used to good things. On my own behalf, I want to say that we must not give up and look for a solution. After all, if there is an entrance to any situation, then there is an exit somewhere nearby. Successful searches!

Nadezhda Sevryugina

Turning the flaws of appearance into a highlight is the aerobatics of self-love. But what kind of skill do you need to possess in order for the antennae above the lip of a girl to become a charming decoration? Down on the face is traditionally considered a masculine "attribute" that does not fit with a gentle, feminine image, and most beautiful ladies prefer to get rid of it. Moreover, there are many ways to solve the problem.

Almost every girl has a light, barely noticeable fluff above the lip, but the appearance of dark, hard, conspicuous hairs can be due to a number of reasons:

• Increased testosterone levels. The male hormone is necessary for women for the full functioning of the body and, in particular, for the implementation of the reproductive function. However, if there is too much testosterone, this affects not only the increased "hairiness": a teenage girl may have problems with the formation of the skeletal system, in older women, an excess of the male hormone is fraught with pathological changes in the uterus and mammary glands. Therefore, in this case, a thorough examination of the whole organism and the endocrine system in particular is necessary.
• High level of pigmentation. Most natural brunettes have antennae above the lip, and this phenomenon is not a deviation for them. And the inhabitants of Latin America, for example, are very proud of the hairs on their faces, considering them a sign of health and unbridled temperament.
• Some diseases. Pathologies of the thyroid gland, gallbladder, brain.
• Pregnancy. During the period of gestation, hormonal changes in the body can lead to the appearance of dark hairs above the lip. You should not worry in this case, but a more thorough examination will not hurt. The tendrils usually disappear at the end breastfeeding if this does not happen, it is better to consult an endocrinologist.
• Therapy with certain drugs. For example, long-term use of contraception can lead to hormonal disruptions that trigger the growth of facial hair.

Although in most cases the appearance of antennae over the lip of a girl can be considered a cosmetic defect, a doctor's consultation and a complete examination of the body will exclude the possibility of health problems.

Increased facial hair growth can be a sign of hormonal imbalance and serious diseases, therefore, it is important to consult a doctor and undergo the necessary examination

Hirsutism - increased hair growth outside the normal range. In this case, the removal of unnecessary "vegetation" is accompanied by observation by a gynecologist and endocrinologist.

Home methods of struggle

At home, it is advisable to get rid of antennae with a small number of hairs. There are several ways to do this, each of which has its own specifics.

Razor

This is a male method that allows you to quickly and painlessly get rid of the antennae. It would seem that what could be simpler? However, using a machine to remove hairs over girlish lip fraught with:

• the appearance of "bristles" (after shaving, the newly growing "vegetation" is more and more dark, hard and thick);
• irritation (the delicate skin of the face is very sensitive to mechanical stress and can react with rashes, redness, peeling);
• psychological discomfort (few girls like to start every morning with a male ritual, but they have to, because when shaving, the hair root remains intact, so the next day dark "hemp" will appear above the lip).

So, let's leave shaving to our beloved men, and for ourselves we will look for a more suitable option.

Depilatory cream

The mechanism of action of depilation creams is that the composition of such products contains substances that destroy the protein of the hair, due to which its destruction occurs. It remains only to wash off the product and what is left of unnecessary "vegetation".

To remove antennae, you can only use depilatory creams that are specifically designed for the face. The application procedure is simple:

1. apply the composition with a spatula to the area of ​​the skin covered with unnecessary hairs;
2. wait a certain time (when using it on the face, do not leave the drug for longer than 1-3 minutes);
3. remove the product with a spatula, moving the tool against hair growth;
4. wash with warm running water without using detergent.

The cream destroys a small part of the hair under the skin and weakens the follicle a little, but does not eliminate it, so “fresh” tendrils appear 2–4 days after application of the product. Hair becomes lighter and softer with each use.

Before using the cream, an allergy test is required: apply a small amount to the elbow or wrist for 3-5 minutes. If after a day there are no undesirable reactions (irritation, dryness, burning, etc.), you can use the product. Depilatory products should be discarded in case of individual intolerance, a tendency to allergic reactions, dermatological diseases, open lesions of the epidermis, inflammatory and infectious rashes, excessively dry and sensitive skin.

1. stir the product in a glass of warm water (a teaspoon with a slide);
2. moisten a piece of gauze in the composition;
3. apply to the area above the upper lip, fix with adhesive plaster;
4. leave overnight;
5. in the morning, remove the compress and wash with running water.

Repeat the procedure 3-10 times.

Compresses with soda solution is one of folk methods removing unnecessary hair, but there is no objective evidence of the effectiveness of this method

In my opinion, the effectiveness of using baking soda to remove antennae is highly questionable. For example, I use a soda solution a couple of times a month to wash my hair, so that my hair, on the contrary, strengthens. Although compresses may have a different effect, I have not been able to find any credible information on how this happens.

Lightening

The whitened antennae remain intact and unharmed, but become barely noticeable. This trick is suitable for those who have very few hairs above the lip, they are light and short: otherwise, the antennae will still remain noticeable, and will be especially visible in the sun. Various products can be used as a brightening agent.

Before using any brightening product, you should test your skin's reaction to it. A small amount of Apply the mixture to the area behind the ear for 5-7 minutes and wait a day. If negative manifestations (burning, dryness, irritation, etc.) are not found, the composition can be applied.

Hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide weakens the chitinous coat of the hair, as a result of which the coloring pigment loses its durability. Algorithm of the procedure:

1. soak a cotton pad with 3% hydrogen peroxide;
2. apply to the area above the upper lip, pressing slightly;
3. after 1–1.5 minutes, remove the “compress”.

Depending on how dark the hair is, it may take from 1 to 5 sessions, which can be resorted to every day or every other day.

For sensitive skin, you can resort to such a remedy: stir 5 ml of peroxide in a tablespoon of shaving foam. To apply cotton swab for 10 minutes, rinse with warm water.

Lemon juice

Not only are the brightening properties of lemon juice used in the fight against freckles, they are also effective in the fight against facial hairs.

The product can be used in pure form... In this case, it is applied to the area above the lip with cotton pads once a day until a satisfactory result is achieved.

Some sources immediately after the procedure recommend going to the solarium or the beach: under the influence sun rays treated antennae will burn out faster.

The use of additional components will help to enhance the effect. As an example, such a mixture: water, table vinegar and lemon juice (1 teaspoon each). Apply the composition to the antennae, after an hour rinse with running water. The number of procedures carried out daily or every other day depends on the characteristics of the hairs.

Purchased funds

Manufactured facial lighteners typically contain hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, petrolatum and lanolin as main ingredients.

To achieve the effectiveness and maintain the health of the skin, the use of such products must obey the following rules:

• use only high-quality, well-proven products (see overview below);
• strictly follow the instructions;
• if any undesirable manifestations occur, stop using the drug and consult a doctor.

The table below will help you get an idea of ​​the most popular commercially available facial hair lightening products.

Table - an overview of popular purchased drugs

After applying any lightening product, you need to treat your skin with a soothing cream. It is desirable that the product contains plant extracts: chamomile, calendula, aloe, etc.

Deleting

The most radical way is to remove the hairs along with the follicle. Such a measure will allow you to enjoy the effect for 2-4 weeks.

Preparation

Whichever method is used to remove the hairs above the lip, preparatory stage is always the same:

1. cleanse the skin of the face from impurities and makeup residues with a special lotion or tonic;
2. moisten a towel with hot water and apply on the area above the lip for 30-60 seconds: steaming the skin will help make the procedure less painful;
3. wipe dry;
4. treat the hairy area with a mild antiseptic.

Tweezers

In the same way as the eyebrows, the hairs above the lip are plucked out. Before the procedure, it is imperative to disinfect the instrument used.

The method is simple to implement, although if there are too many unnecessary hairs, it can be quite time consuming.

Thread

To carry out the procedure, you only need a silk thread, knowledge of the methodology and a little skill. The process of removing unnecessary "vegetation" is as follows:

1. cut off a thread 45-50 cm long from the spool and tie the ends to make a circle;
2. put the “ring” on the thumbs and forefingers of both hands and twist in the middle 8-10 times to make the “eight”;
3. "Tame" the place of twisting: when moving with your fingers, it should move to the right and to the left;
4. shift the “neck of the figure eight” so that one loop is slightly larger than the second;
5. attach the device to the skin so that the place of the twist is under unnecessary hairs, and the large loop of the figure eight is above them;
6. pull the fingers of the hand holding the smaller ring to the sides: the place of the twist will shift towards the large loop, capturing the hairs.

To facilitate the removal of the antennae, experts recommend placing the tongue between the gum and the lip.

The removal of antennae with a thread is contraindicated for areas with moles, warts, papillomas, as well as for:

• dermatological diseases;
• infectious and viral rashes;
• burns, irritations;
• oncology;
• pregnancy and lactation.

V last years the procedure has become widely used in beauty salons, in European and American realities it is called trading.

Sugar paste

Removing hair with a sweet paste is called shugaring. There are several methods of this procedure: manual (the composition is applied and removed with fingers), spatula (manipulations are carried out with a special spatula), for the area above the upper lip, a bandage technique is usually used:

1. apply a paste heated to body temperature with a spatula or fingers against hair growth;
2. cover the composition with a special fabric strip (bandage);
3. abruptly remove the material in the direction of hair growth.

To remove facial hair, it is advisable to use a commercial, soft, liquid honey-like paste with a natural composition. The label must indicate that the product can be used to treat facial skin. Judging by the reviews, the compositions produced under the brands Alexandria, Aravia, Gloria, Gannaan have proven themselves well.

Wax

Antenna hair removal wax can be used in 2 ways:

• Wax strips. Warm a narrow wax strip intended for use on the face in the palms of your hands, release from the protective film and, pressing, apply to the area covered with antennae. With a sharp movement, remove the strip in the direction against the growth of the hair.
• Warm wax. Heat the wax in a wax melter, apply to the skin above the lip with a spatula, cover with a bandage strip and remove with a sharp motion against hair growth.

Table - the pros and cons of home methods

Professional methods against female antennae

Wax and sugar hair removal, trading are procedures that can be used not only at home, but also in the salon, trusting the experienced hands of the master. However, there are methods that only a professional can carry out.

Salon procedures involve an intense effect on the skin, therefore, deciding on them, you should:

• consult a doctor beforehand;
• study contraindications and possible side effects;
• strictly follow the recommendations of the skin care specialist performing the procedure before and after the session;
• schedule epilation for a period of low solar activity (late autumn-winter), since after the methods described below, the skin is especially sensitive to ultraviolet rays.

Laser hair removal

The epilation mechanism is as follows: the laser beam penetrates the skin to a depth of 4–6 mm, and the melanin contained in the follicle absorbs its energy. This leads to the fact that the hair burns out, and the vessel feeding it to the root is "sealed".

To prepare for the procedure, you should refrain from sunburn, shave your hair a couple of days before the session and start taking an antiviral drug (after consulting your doctor) if you have had frequent recurrences of herpes infection.

Procedure progress:

1. an anesthetic is applied to the treated area;
2. when the anesthetic works, the area above the lip is treated with a laser;
3. the epidermis is lubricated with panthenol.

In the absence of hirsutism and hormonal imbalance, 7-10 sessions are usually required to remove the antennae.

Laser hair removal is contraindicated for:

• moles on the face;
• bacterial, fungal skin pathologies;
• herpes rash;
• psoriasis, eczema, neurodermatitis;
• a tendency to form scars and age spots;
• increased photosensitivity;
• allergies.

After the procedure, you must:

• apply sunscreen before going outside;
• refrain from sun exposure for at least 2 weeks;
• regularly treat the skin with panthenol or another drug prescribed by a doctor;
• avoid excessive sweating (refuse to visit baths and saunas, heavy physical activity and etc.).

Electrolysis

During the procedure, the follicle is destroyed by an electrical impulse. The session goes like this:

1. the skin is treated with a local anesthetic;
2. hairs are successively removed by means of special equipment.

Sometimes one procedure is enough to achieve an acceptable result, in some cases it will be necessary to resort to it again.

To restore the skin after the procedure, the doctor may prescribe the use of the Rescuer cream (for dry and normal skin), Solcoseryl (for oily skin) or some other drug.

The procedure is contraindicated for:

• pregnancy and lactation;
• diabetes mellitus;
• cardiovascular pathologies;
• oncology;
• skin diseases.

Photoepilation

Broadband pulsed light, absorbed by melanin, is converted into heat, which destroys the hair follicle.

As a preparation, it is necessary to grow antennae up to 1-3 mm, do not sunbathe for 1.5 months, if necessary, take an antiviral agent prescribed by a doctor.

Procedure progress:

1. the patient puts on safety glasses;
2. a special gel is applied to the skin above the lip;
3. by means of a special apparatus, light pulses are given (as a rule, 5–6 flashes are sufficient for the area above the upper lip);
4. the epidermis is treated with a sedative.

To achieve the result, 3-5 sessions are usually required, since the effect of light acts only on the hairs that are in the stage of active growth, while the dormant bulbs remain intact, and after a while they appear as regrowth tendrils.

Photoepilation should be abandoned when:

• open skin lesions;
• tanned skin;
• after prolonged exposure to the sun;
• tattooing at the site of treatment;
• therapy medicines that increase sensitivity to light;
• the presence of electronic devices in the body (insulin pump, pacemaker);
• allergies to the sun (including a history);
• porphyria;
• systemic lupus erythematosus;
• pregnancy and lactation.

After the procedure, you need:

• for 2-3 days, limit contact with water, do not go to saunas, baths, swimming pool, do not steam or heat the skin;
• use a sunscreen cream;
• limit exposure to the sun, do not sunbathe on the beach and in the solarium.

Equipment for photoepilation and electrolysis for home use is commercially available. However, for safety reasons, professionals do not recommend using it.

Why tendrils grow above the lip

Before deleting unwanted hair kov, you should find out the reason for their occurrence, because, ideally, such a problem should not bother you. As a rule, antennae appear due to excess production in the body of a woman of the male hormone testosterone. In most cases, the problem does not pose a threat to health, however, it will not hurt to consult with an endocrinologist about possible diseases.

Also, the risk of antennae above the lip increases significantly if a woman already has such a nuisance in the family. However, finding out the reason does not lead to a solution to the problem, so it is worth finding out in which cases you should resort to radical methods of removing the antennae.

Should you remove the hairs above the lip?

If one day a woman notices that antennae have appeared above the lip, the question of removing them will certainly arise. How to do this depends not only on preferences, but also on the characteristics of the hairs themselves.

Short blonde hairs are visible only in the sun, and even then close, so this problem is much easier to solve. But the long dark antennae can completely ruin not only the appearance, but also the mood, it is worth getting rid of such a defect right away.

There is a myth that after the antennae are removed, they begin to grow even more. In fact, the re-emergence of hairs can be, but the frequency depends on the method by which they are removed. In addition, one or two procedures per month - the best way rather than a constantly spoiled appearance that is unlikely to attract rapt attention.

Antenna removal methods

To remove the tendrils above the upper lip at home, you can use several effective methods. Many women consider shaving to be the easiest and most painless. But this method is best left to men, and never use it to deal with unwanted facial hair.

And all because the skin in the area of ​​the nasolabial triangle is very delicate, any manipulations will lead to its irritation and peeling. In addition, the razor cuts off the top layer of the epidermis, and the hairs gradually become harder and more prickly. And the effect after this method remains only for a few days.

• threading;
• removal by wax;
• removal with tweezers;
• bleaching.
