I'm iVillage.co.uk's beauty editor. I wouldn't be surprised if the post office had to assign me my own personal postman to deliver all the lovely lotions and potions that I'm sent to try. And yet I still get excited every time a new lipgloss lands on my desk. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.

What is it with facial hair?

Thursday, June 21st, 2007, 10:30 am

What is it with facial hair? Hasn't it got anywhere better to grow?

For years I've battled with hair removal creams, tweezed and plucked, but now I just book in to have my eyebrows and other embarassing areas of facial fuzzyness (do I have to spell it out?) threaded every six weeks.  I can't say it doesn't hurt, but it's definitely worth it.

If you're a threading virgin read more about it here: The ancient art of threading

                                                                                                                                                 

Take it from me, well groomed brows can make an enormous difference to your face. I'm off to schedule my next appointment.

You could, of course, grow a beard like I have.<br />\n<br />\nIt solves a few problems, but not all.

Hello Beauty_Editor.<br />\n<br />\nJust curious... Does threading result in blood loss?! lol. <br />\n<br />\nWhen I was getting married, my sister plucked my eye brows for me, and boy did it hurt... however, what was more alarming was that there was quite a bit of blood, despite no nicks or cuts to my skin! <br />\n<br />\nThe ordeal did put me off of eye-brow shaping in general though, and so has been avoided for ... ooooh ... 7 years now!!! <br />\n<br />\nAmbi<br />\nxxx

Hi Ambi, <br />
<br />
Neither plucking nor threading should cause blood loss. It may be that you have very sensitive skin around your eyes which is prone to bleeding so I'd probably avoid it. <br />
<br />
Hope that helps,<br />
