Re: Does anyone shave her face?

I just love how my face feels so smooth and soft after I shave off the peach fuzz. Make up looks better, too, and I think it makes you look younger.

I started shaving my chin many years ago. Wish I wouldn’t have. It does make a stubble and I have to do it everyday.

my mom always said if i ever shaved my face,the hair would grow in darker and heavier.

I know this was an old wives tale and does not happen .

I just tried this face shaving thing for the first time recently and really like it! I watched a Youtube video by Jaclyn Hill called "How I Shave My Face" and she tells you all you need to know. Even the super cheap female face razors...But to answer your question I believe from ear to chin or downward is the correct way to go. (in small strokes not one long stroke like on a leg) I have/had major blonde peach fuzz and shaving it has made my face feel so much more smooth that I can't stop feeling it all the time! lol and it does NOT grow back darker or more stronger!

Do a small patch test first!!

Once years ago I used a blade to shave between my lips and nose. My soft, blonde peach-fuzz came back in thick and black. Now I have to pluck and shave above my lip every day! (I'm 70) I use a tiny battery-operated shaver to do it.

It's not always an old wives' tale -- sometimes your facial hair will change if you shave.

Nope I never did it. I had no hair on my face until way after a very earlier than most menopause. Im glad it works for others, but i had an Aunt who had dark hair and she shaved and when she got old her face often had a full mustache and beard. It upset me.

I am a pale redhead so my body hair is very light. I use a tweezer to get the chin hairs. I have no peach fuzz. And PS what I do find lately is, I'm getting nose hairs!!!!, Yes like a man and use the thing men use and its very embarrassing so I keep after it constantly!

I use a Braun ipilator or just pluck the ones that bother me.

So for those of you that shave your face...do you shave from the chin up (against the grain so to speak) or top to bottom? I would think you would shave from the chin up but not sure....

I never thought about it. I have some hairs on my chin and sideburns. I shave from the top down. Women's facial hair isn't like men's, it's finer so I don't think that "against the grain" thing is relevent.
