QuestionI shaved my upper lip even though I didn't have a moustache! I let it grow out and its still blond, but it seems to GLOW in some lights?! Any homemade ways to get rid of it?? I'm only 14 so I'm NOT telling my mom... But if I did sneak out and buy a Nair wax kit, are they good? Do they cause acne or anything? How long will I have to wax before all the hair is permanantly gone or signifigantly sparser? Also I've heard about sugaring... Is there any homemade remedy like this with iut lemon or lime juice... I don't have any. PLEASE HELP!!!!
AnswerHello Becca,
Before giving you my suggestions, let me advise you to NEVER EVER EVER again shave any part of your face, and, as a matter of fact of your body (except maybe your underarm) because shaving makes the hairs grow back stronger, coarser and much more noticeable.
Because you are going through puberty, your hormones are going through a storm, and your body too. SO you may experience a stronger and coarser growth of your body hair, but it should be transitory.
As far as your options I've personally found that home waxing kits are crap, but maybe it's only me. Waxing is generally painful, so doing it on yourself requires heroism. Instead, I would recommend the use of a little electric device like this:

You should be able to find it in department stores like Bloomingsdale or equivalents.
Alternatively, you could visit your local spa and have it waxed by a professional. It's quick, well done and shouldn't cost a lot of money.
Finally, using sugar waxing would be a good idea, but it seems to me that it would be tricky to perform the sugar waxing because of the shape of the area. But you can try this recipe:

Finally, adolescence is a challenging time in life, so try to be gentle with yourself! Try to find activities that you like and make you feel good and in return, these good feelings will help you to not panic when something in/on your body is upsetting you.
I hope you find this answer helpful.
Have a beautiful day,
Take good care
