hi geeks, does anyone have some good ideas to remove upper lip hair? I used wax before, but my upper lip went red and really itch, is there any creams or something out which I could try? cheers, xx:Love:
I regulary wax my upper lip and although I do get the redness for a few hours I dont get any itching. How long does it last for? Have you used this wax in other areas?
I use a cream from hive that is designed for those that do suffer the after wax redness - see the below link
hive cool down wax
I never used witch hazel. is it a treatment after wax?Have you tried using witch hazel? It works for me xxx
Hiya hun
Waxing is definitely the best way to go. A lot of people get red areas the first couple of times, and witch hazel definitely helps to calm it down.
Did you do it yourself, or did you go to a salon? It could be that the wax was too hot for such a sensitive area.
If you really can't get on with waxing, you could always try bleaching the hair.
i use a hair removal cream , such as Veet or Boots own brand. That way I have control over how often it ges done (about once a week) and there's no after effects (i used to get a lot of redness, and lots of little white spots that lasted for days...nice!)
As long as you don't leave it on too long.....not a great place to sport a burn mark!!!

I had it waxed in a beauty salon... never tried that cream, can I buy it from boots?
I would suggest that if you had redness that lasted 2 weeks that you either had an allergic reaction to the wax or that you may have been burnt.Thanks guys for your very useful and helpful advice. The redness and ichness I had was lasted about 2 weeks, I dont think that was normal, do you?:sad:
