If you want to shave your mustache as a woman, here are some tips to follow:
Materials:
- Straight edge, single-blade razor designed specifically for women’s facial shaving
- Shaving gel, moisturizing lotion, or cream
Steps:
- Clean your skin first and dry it completely.
- Apply a thin layer of shaving gel, moisturizing lotion, or cream on your face before shaving.
- Hold the skin taut with one hand. Hold the razor at a 45-degree angle and gently graze the skin with short, light strokes, while applying as little pressure as possible. Always shave with the hair’s grain rather than against it.
- Rinse the razor after each stroke.
- After shaving, rinse your face and moisturize immediately.
Pros and Cons:
- Pros: Facial shaving is a great option to remove unwanted facial hair quickly, economically and with ease. It is pain-free and lasts up to a few days, depending on your hair growth rate.
- Cons: Some women may find dry shaving irritating to their skin. Shaving is a temporary method of removing hair, which means that people may notice hair regrowth within 1–2 days.
Other methods of removing facial hair:
- Waxing: removes hair from underneath the skin, at the root. It lasts longer than shaving, but carries some of the same risks — such as causing ingrown hairs and skin irritation.
- Bleaching: lightens the hair so its less noticeable).
- Electrolysis or laser removal: have the potential to be permanent solutions after enough treatments).
Its important to note that everyones skin is different, so what works for one person may not work for another. Its always a good idea to test a small area first and see how your skin reacts before shaving your entire mustache area.
