CHIN HAIR?!

[Anonymous]

I literally sit in front of a bright light with a magnifying mirror and tweezers once a week and pluck them all out. Be glad you don't have them along your cheekbones too.

I am embarrassed by how much pleasure I get out of plucking random beard hairs.

I'm celtic so the roots are long and deep and you have to pull HARD/ they are painful/often bleed when plucked but damn when they come out it is so satisfying. Mine are either white or black- though I am a blond/redhead.

Agree that they are all on a different cycle but maybe once a week I can feel what first feels like a pimple but is the wiry hair breaking through.

I have white bristly hairs on my neck/throat. So hard to see to pluck. Anyone find a good mirror option? Also needing reading glasses, makes plucking even more of a challenge.

What mirror works well for you? I need something better.

At 50 mine are white. Just get used to have some quality tweezer time with the mirror after every shower.

I literally sit in front of a bright light with a magnifying mirror and tweezers twice a day and pluck them all out. That's what 68 is like.

Uh a little travel flip mirror I got at CVS or Walgreens.

There is another area where hairs have turned white on me …

It sucks getting old, but the alternative is worse!

Once you get through menopause, you need a whole new set of "beauty" tools: good tweezers, facial razor, magnifying mirror (small enough for travel), retonin cream, dry skin lotion, small scissors for the scraggly long eyebrow hairs, and, yes, pimple cream or patches.

Also, heartburn medicine, melatonin, extra underwear in case you pee when laughing, sneezing, or coughing, and firm-soled shoes both inside and outside because helps your back.

Extra dermatologist appointments to manage skin tags, keratosis, and other lovely growths.

This is how you spend your retirement: body maintenance.

Dp here. The previous owners of our home installed this next to the vanity in our master bedroom. The wife was a few years older than me, so I suspect she dealt with this issue as well. It’s been very handy!!

The cruel part of this for me is that the hair on my head has stopped growing and the stuff on my face is going gangbusters.

For those who unfortunately get to the mustache phase, the little flawless battery shaver is great. I keep tweezers everywhere - my purse, in the car, at my desk, in the bathroom.....

They told me I was the perfect candidate because I have fair skin a very dark hair. I had to sign a waiver indicating I was aware that some studies show after laser hair removal the hair starts growing in new areas nearby outside of the normal range but it was really only if you had dark skin.

Welp. It took a few years but I know have pubic hair growing on my upper thighs. Some together, and some random solitary ones. I’d dread this on my face!!!

Sorry of this is too TMI but how do you know if they are pubic hairs?

Well, they are short curly coarse and dark - not regular leg hair!

Just tweeze in the morning and at night. You will be fine.
