When waxing, always make sure that you know what you are doing.

Sugaring is a more preferred method to remove facial hair over waxing. Sugaring involves the use of either a paste or a gel to remove facial hair.

A more common method to remove facial hair is threading. Threading is an ancient are and involves using a thread and a skilled pair of hands to pluck out the individual hairs.

More extreme measures can be used to remove facial hair. One is Laser Hair Removal. This will not actually remove facial hair, but will reduce it. It uses a pulsed laser to disable hair follicles and it works best only with light skinned people with dark hair. So far the only FDA approved treatment to remove facial hair is through electrolysis.
