Facial hair can be a huge problem for most women, which is why there are so many methods of hair removal on the market today. Common areas that women get facial hair are on the upper lip, chin, neck, sideburns and cheeks.  It begins around the age of puberty, and as years pass, the hair will sometimes grow in thicker and darker. 

Women often worry that this means that they have male hormones and are not fully female. In fact, all women have a small amount of the male hormone, testosterone. If the skin is extra sensitive to it, testosterone encourages hair growth on the mentioned body parts. Although the hormone levels are normal, the problem is that the skin is too sensitive to testosterone. Women with this problem gradually develop more body hair from puberty until the menopause, after which the amount of body hair slowly lessens, except for facial hair which continues to increase.

But there are many options when facial hair removal for women is in discussion. 

The skin around the face and neck is very sensitive and many hair removal methods are also considered quite painful. Women often complain of the redness caused by waxing. Electrolysis is good for female facial hair removal but can be a little painful. Depilatories are not necessarily painful but often too rough on a woman's soft facial skin and cause redness and dryness.

However, there is a hair removal method many women forget when researching: electric razor . Because most women do not use electric shavers as often as men do, they forget that there's a reason they're preferable to razors.

First of all, the electric shaver remains sharp much more time unlike a razor whose blade dulls after the first use and will quickly cause nasty bumps and ingrown hairs. More importantly, if you choose a shaver designed for intimate shaving, you'll have a shaver that's made for removing the coarsest, most difficult hair from the most sensitive, complicated surfaces of the human body. Intimate shavers must navigate the skin perfectly to prevent nicks and cuts in the many folds and highly thin areas of the groin. If a shaver can perfectly remove hair from such a difficult place with absolutely no bumps, razor burn, or nicks, imagine how easily it can remove the hair on your sensitive lip, chin and neck .

If you aren't sure a shaver is right for you, it is recommended for you to give it a try before trying more expensive and difficult methods.
