Answer 1

You could try threading, I use that for eyebrows and I really like it, it's not too painful! My friend who has really dark hair and is of asian descent, uses threading for the hair above her lip, side of her face and eyebrows and she has never mentioned that it has grown back thicker. This would be much better for your sensitive skin than waxing.

Here's some more information on what threading is and who offers it:

I like Blink at Selfridges: http://www.wahanda.com/place/blink-at-selfridges/

Another friend bleaches the dark hair because she doesn't like to wait for it to grow back to a certain length each time.

Answer 2

sugar is the best of the rest 100% natural less likely to have a reaction.
It grips the hair not the skin so being less painful.
its water soluble so easily washes off, no sticky waxy residue left behind or bits left from threading.
With hand sugar there is no heat ...........

Personally i would recommend waxing.. i have had clients come to me after being threaded and complaining of hair re-growth being quite bad in the way that it looks and feels! I suppose its individual choice though. You can get wax thats specifcally for sensitve skinm therefore it wont have any ingrediants in it that will irritate your skin. About the "hair growing back thicker" this is not true, it may APPEAR thicker but this is because all hairs have been pulled out by the root, and after several regular waxing treatments, all hairs wil have grown back at the same time therefore making it look thicker. Where as before it hd been waxed and was growing naturally, the hairs will have all been growing at different growth rates, hence why there doesn't appear to be so many to begin with. So basically- hair removal such as waxing, and tweezing simply alters the growth cycle of your hair so that they all grow back at once rather than randomly!

beware of hair removal creams - i used one once 5 years ago and it left me with dark pigmentation above my upper lip. it looked like a mustache and took about 3 years to fade. it got really bad in summer, it really was a nightmare! my skin is now too sensitive for wax, but i recommend threading, it's painful but definitely gentle on your skin.

Answer 5

I have a sensitive skin and since I found out about R.E.M SPRING facial hair remover, I cant stop using it! it removes my moustache, lower lip, chin, chicks and neck hairs. Since the spring and the handles are made of stainless steel, I dont get any skin reactions.
I love, love, love it!

Answer 6

I was going to say treading as well. There are also cold waxes , that might be more gentle because they aren't hot. Bleaching could work as well, but if your skin is sensitive, it might burn. I would still talk to your stylist, they know your skin tolerance.

Answer 7

For any skin , Threading is a better option, since it doesn't pull the skin.it only takes the hair out from the roots. After threading or waxing, always ice that area, it helps to close and relax the pores. I can do threading, and if you would like to come to my studio in Elmhurst IL. I can prep your skin with my skin care products and then do the threading.

Answer 8

Hi Sarayu,
For those sensitive to wax, threading is a great option. Dont worry, waxing and threading can not change your hair, and make it thicker, darker or grow faster. Some people have even experienced hair growth to be finer, slower and sparse, after repeated hair removal with wax or threading.

Answer 9

THREADING will change your life. It doesn't pull the skin, no hot wax, and it lasts a long time.

I always use Nail hair remover for the face. It even comes in tube countoured to your lip and a soothing moisturizer. It is wuick, esy and Painless. All you have to do is apply to the area above your lip that has unwasnted hair, and rinse off with a washcloth gently in tepid water.

Answer 13

Well, you may try, a depelitory cream. They do make it for sensitive skin. Milk, or aloe vera, can calm the skin afterward, if irritated. Read & follow the directions, on any product.

Answer 14

Threading is one of the the most effective, as the hair is exracted more effectively from the root disturibing its cellular system, thus the hair tend to grow back finer and over a period of time softer.
