I picked up the little flawless finish tool at target one night and it changed my life.

| I use DH’s trimmer with a different attachment on it. I think it’s a nose hair trimmer for him. |

+1000 I come from a long line of dark haired south Asians and no longer need my monthly threading which I had been doing since my teens. This thing is the best. |

+1. Prior to pandemic I threaded my upper lip at a salon. I switched to using a tinkle razor and it is cheap and easy. I do tweeze a few coarse hairs. I only need to use the tinkle razor once a week or so. It is worth a try, you can always switch to waxing/threading if you don't like results. |

| Another vote for Sally H wax. Cheap, easy and effective. I don't use the strips, they aren't as effective for me. Waxing is the only way I get the peach fuzz and the few dark hairs I have. It gets less painful the more you do it. I also use it to shape my brows but have to be super careful when applying it. |

| Does no one else use the nair type product? Also has anyone ripped their upper lip skin off using at home wax? |

I don't understand all these people using the cheap devices like tinkle and flawless. Don't you have stubble by the end of the day? Stubble from a razor is so much more visible than stubble from waxing (when the hairs grow back on different days, and they don't have stubby ends as they emerge). If your lip hair is bad enough to need dealing with, how can it be that the stubble doesn't look terrible?
Also -my own lip hair only started getting the littlest bit noticeable a few years ago, and I either tweeze the couple of darker ones, but I also own a Tria laser hair remover which I use periodically to some success on the darker ones. |

Yes - after I started using tretonin no one told me about this issue - tore off a little skin on my lip, but worse, tore off much of the skin under my eyebrows. |

| Also use tinkle and it works great but need to use every other day. Maybe I should lay off the magnifying mirror. |

I read this thread wondering this too and hoping to hear anout experiences or recommendations for non-razor options. |

| For people who do at-home IPL, did you get a Tria? Something else? Do you think it's worth the price? The mentions of how painful it is turned me off, but I'm mid-40s and tired of constantly shaving my mustache and plucking chin hairs. I have fair skin and dark hair, so I'm a great candidate for lasers. |

| Suffered through threading and waxing it for year and now just shave in the shower or use a tinkle razor at the mirror. So much better and you don't have to deal with that awkward grow back phase before you can wax again. |

One thing is it stinks terribly. And for me at least, you have to walk the razor edge ( pun not really intended) of dissolving the hair away and dissolving your skin. |

Yes but is there some sort of five o clock shadow that is left?? And seriously, how can there not be some kind of stubble like a PP said? |
