7 Easy Ways to Get Rid of Pesky Facial Hair

bliss ‘fuzz’-off ($24)

For those who prefer a cream, this freshly scented formula (many hair removal creams have a not-so-nice smell) makes it easier than ever to remove unwanted facial hair with its built-in precision tip that targets sensitive areas like the upper lip. Just apply the cream, let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe the hair away! But, make sure to do a patch test first, as with any hair removal cream, to make sure your skin doesn’t have a reaction.

Well, it’s actually pretty easy. Holding the tool in your hand, squeeze the handles as you maneuver the coil spring around each area—it works great on your cheeks, chin and upper lip—to pluck hair from the root. And although it might sound painful, it’s not (we like to compare it to super gentle threading). We also recommend watching a tutorial video to really get the hang of it.

Your face is fuzz-free.
