The combination of honey and lemon is great for maintaining your skin's moisture, despite the process of hair removal. The consistent use of this wax helps reduce the re-growth of hair, while giving your skin a natural glow. Because this method removes hair at the roots, if continued over a period of time, you might cause enough damage to the hair follicle to alleviate the problem permanently.

• Make sure that the area you wish to wax/remove hair from is completely dry. Apply baby powder on the area to absorb all the moisture from the skin. The drier the area is, the easier it is to wax and remove the unwanted hair.
• Never shave facial hair. It encourages more growth, and when the hair grows back, it grows in at the same time, making it more noticeable.
• Use petroleum jelly to act as a salve for your skin after tweezing the hair.
• If there is still an excessive growth of facial hair, consult your doctor.

How to remove a femstashe?

While some aren't bothered by their femstache (female mustache), it seems to be a big deal for others. If having it bothers you and lowers your self-esteem, here are some alternative methods to get rid of them:

• Bleaching. There are many manufacturers of facial-hair bleach that lighten the mustache. These are good for finer, lighter hair, and won't have the desired effect on dark hair, or thick hair. Make sure to purchase one of these products that is FDA approved.
• Hair waxing. Wax is another OTC product that you may want to opt for. Be sure to follow all the instructions to achieve the desired effect.
• Depilatory creams. This is a no-pain femstashe removal. These creams basically dissolve the hair.
• Electrolysis or laser hair removal. When you've run out of do-it-yourself methods, and nothing has really worked, you might want to consider laser hair removal. If you do this, make sure to go to a certified practitioner for safe removal.
