Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 Any ladies out there have a suggestion for getting rid of hair on your upper lip? I used to use a depilatory cream until I was diagnosed with rosacea, but have stopped for fear the cream may be harmful to my skin. Any products out there that may not be harmful? Is waxing okay?

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 i think waxing is even more harmful to the skin than depilatories. people with normal skin even turn red for several hours after waxing... i dont even want to imagine what it would do to rosacean skin! ive heard of this new product call Biore Beyond Smooth moisturizing lotion that comes with ginger root extract as the active ingredient..it claims to lighten and thin the appearance of facial hair. unfortunately, in a Begoun's book ginger is listed as a potent skin irritant ....great.... maybe you could opt for laser hair removal. . ? it should be less painful than electrolysis. or maybe consider photoderm in the future since it's supposed to kill hair follicles too! > Any ladies out there have a suggestion for getting rid of hair on your upper > lip? > I used to use a depilatory cream until I was diagnosed with rosacea, but have > stopped for fear the cream may be harmful to my skin. > Any products out there that may not be harmful?

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 I wax my upper lip and haven't had any problems. The area is red for a couple of hours but I do it right before bed.
