I can't be the only one!!!!

I pluck them. I'm pale with dark hair I'm always worried they'll grow back really thick and course and it'll be way worse.

I need to do my upper lip really but never have as I worry about regrowth so tell myself I only notice it because I'm looking
Does IPL work well on legs? Since having LO my leg hair seems to be very thick and no matter how I shave I never have smooth legs now.

It works best on legs, & they need less sessions that other parts of the body as the hair root is thick there. I had loads of issues like ingrows & blisters, I was sensitive to waxing & shaving. The best time to go for ILP is during winter as there is no direct exposer to sunlight, 1st sessions are a bit painful. You only need a session every 6 weeks, then after the 4th you can go up to 8 weeks, I was done after two years as I did full body.

When I was pregnant I had some hair growth on my tummy & knees, but they disappeared after I gave birth. I have 2 hairs underarm that re-grow, but I can pull them out with no pain as the root is very weak.

I've got about £200 here for about 4/5 sessions x I see Groupon offers flying around but I don't know whether to trust them

How long is the session? The price seems reasonable for 5 sessions if the session is 1 hr long. In an hr you can do full legs per session & upper lip, or half leg with bikini line or underarms.

I had redness & spots after sessions, but it clears out after 2-3 days.

The sessions also depends on your body size, I have small body, & I'm only 5'3"

A lovely lady close to where I stay sugars mine.

I have super sensitive skin and waxing is just too harsh.

I tried the nair wax strips (I normally use the pen) today. Really good, and I am no fan of waxing (I shave my legs) Really impressed.

I find creams burn, blister, they stink, either removers or bleaches.

I use nair sensitive skin removal cream for my face and legs (when I don't shave). It burns my legs but not my face.

I've got pretty thick yet blonde facial hair around the side of my face/start of jaw line, then my upper lip. Do it once every 6 weeks, it feels horrible to touch to begin with. OH doesn't seem bothered about it, so I don't know why I bother sometimes

I saw a salon that I go to for nails and waxing having an offer on groupon for 6 sessions of full leg, underarm and bikini. £349, my OH has offered to pay half as my xmas pressie, how romantic haha. Ive bought it and now crapping myself about the pain! I have very very pale skin and dark hair so I hope it works!

I bleach my upper lip. I have never cut, plucked or shaved hair on my face. I am too afraid it will grow back thicker. I never shaved my legs until one summer when i thought they would look better. I always had fairly light hair on my legs, barely visible. Now after years of shaving, its visibly different. Way longer and now could NEVER go out with unshaven bare legs!!!!
