Turning flaws in appearance into a highlight is the highest aerobatics of self-love. But what kind of skill do you need to have to make a girl’s mustache above her lip become a charming decoration? Fuzz on the face is traditionally considered a male “attribute” that does not fit with a gentle, feminine image, and most beautiful ladies prefer to get rid of it. Moreover, there are many ways to solve the problem.
Almost every girl has a light, barely noticeable fluff above her lip, but the appearance of dark, hard, conspicuous hairs can be due to a number of reasons:
- Increased testosterone levels. The male hormone is necessary for women for the full functioning of the body and, in particular, for the implementation of reproductive function. However, if there is too much testosterone, this affects not only increased “hairiness”: a teenage girl may have problems with the formation of the skeletal system, and older women have an excess male hormone is fraught pathological changes uterus, mammary glands. Therefore, in this case, a thorough examination of the entire body is necessary and endocrine system in particular.
- High level of pigmentation. Most natural brunettes have a mustache above their lip, and this phenomenon is not a deviation for them. And women from Latin America, for example, are very proud of their facial hair, considering it a sign of health and unbridled temperament.
- Some diseases. Pathologies thyroid gland, gallbladder, brain.
- Pregnancy. During pregnancy, hormonal changes in the body can lead to the appearance of dark hairs above the lip. In this case, there is no need to worry, but a more thorough examination will not hurt. Usually the antennae disappear after finishing breastfeeding If this does not happen, it is better to consult an endocrinologist.
- Therapy by some medicines. For example, long-term use of contraceptives can lead to hormonal imbalances, causing facial hair growth.
Although in most cases the appearance of a mustache above a girl’s lip can be considered as a cosmetic defect, consult a doctor and full examination the body will eliminate the likelihood of health problems.
Increased facial hair growth may be a sign of hormonal imbalances and serious illnesses, so it is important to consult a doctor and undergo the necessary examination
Hirsutism is increased hair growth beyond normal limits. In this case, the removal of unnecessary “vegetation” is accompanied by observation by a gynecologist and endocrinologist.

Home control methods
At home, it is advisable to get rid of antennae with a small number of hairs. There are several ways to do this, each of which has its own specifics.
Razor
This is a male method that allows you to quickly and painlessly get rid of mustaches. It would seem, what could be simpler? However, using a machine to remove hairs above a girl’s lip is fraught with:
- the appearance of “stubble” (after shaving, the newly growing “vegetation” becomes increasingly darker, stiffer and thicker);
- irritation (delicate facial skin is very sensitive to mechanical stress and can react with rashes, redness, peeling);
- psychological discomfort (few girls would like to start every morning with a male ritual, but they will have to, because when shaving, the root of the hair remains intact and unharmed, so the next day dark “stumps” will certainly appear above the lip).
So, let’s leave shaving to our beloved men, and look for a more suitable option for ourselves.
Depilatory cream
The mechanism of action of depilatory creams is that such products contain substances that destroy the protein of the hair, due to which its destruction occurs. All that remains is to wash off the product and what is left of the unnecessary “vegetation”.
To remove mustaches, you can only use depilatory creams that are specifically designed for the face. The application procedure is simple:
- apply the composition using a spatula to the area of skin covered with unnecessary hairs;
- wait a certain time (when using on the face, do not leave the drug for longer than 1–3 minutes);
- remove the product with a spatula, moving the tool against hair growth;
- Wash with warm running water without using detergent.
The cream destroys a small part of the hair located under the skin and slightly weakens the follicle, but does not eliminate it, so “fresh” antennae appear 2-4 days after using the product. With each use, the hairs become lighter and softer.
Before using the cream, an allergy test is required: apply a small amount to the elbow or wrist for 3-5 minutes. If after a day adverse reactions(irritation, dryness, burning, etc.) no, you can use the product. You should avoid depilatory products if you have an individual intolerance, a tendency to allergic reactions, dermatological diseases, open damage epidermis, inflammatory and infectious rashes, excessively dry and sensitive skin.
- Stir the product (heaped teaspoon) in a glass of warm water;
- moisten a piece of gauze in the composition;
- apply to the area above the upper lip, secure with adhesive tape;
- leave overnight;
- the next morning, remove the compress and wash with running water.
Repeat the procedure 3–10 times.
Compresses with soda solution are one of the traditional methods removal of unnecessary hair, but there is no objective evidence of the effectiveness of this method
In my opinion, the effectiveness of using soda to remove antennae is highly questionable. For example, I use soda solution a couple of times a month to wash your hair, so that your hair, on the contrary, strengthens. Although compresses may have a different effect, I was unable to find reliable information on why this happens.
Lightening
The bleached antennae remain intact and unharmed, but become barely noticeable. This trick is suitable for those who have very few hairs above the lip, they are light and short: otherwise the mustache will still remain noticeable, and will be especially visible in the sun. Various products can be used as a lightening agent.
Before using any lightening product, you need to check your skin's reaction to it. Apply a small amount of the mixture to the area behind the ear for 5–7 minutes and wait a day. If negative manifestations(burning, dryness, irritation, etc.) will not be detected, the composition can be used.
Hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide weakens the chitinous cover of the hair, as a result of which the coloring pigment loses its durability. Procedure algorithm:
- soak a cotton pad with 3% hydrogen peroxide;
- apply to the area above the upper lip, pressing lightly;
- After 1–1.5 minutes, remove the “compress”.
Depending on how dark the hair is, it may take from 1 to 5 sessions, which can be done every day or every other day.
For sensitive skin, you can resort to this remedy: stir 5 ml of peroxide in a tablespoon of shaving foam. Apply cotton swab for 10 minutes, rinse with warm water.

Lemon juice
Not only are the lightening properties of lemon juice used in the fight against freckles, they are also effective in the fight against facial hair.
The product can be used in pure form. In this case, it is applied to the area above the lip with cotton pads once a day until a satisfactory result is achieved.
Some sources recommend going to a solarium or to the beach immediately after the procedure: under the influence sun rays treated mustaches will fade faster.
The use of additional components will help enhance the effect. As an example, this mixture is: water, table vinegar and lemon juice (1 teaspoon each). Apply the composition to the antennae, after an hour, rinse with running water. The number of procedures performed daily or every other day depends on the characteristics of the hairs.
Purchased funds
Facial hair lightening products industrial production The main ingredients usually contain hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, petroleum jelly and lanolin.
To achieve effectiveness and maintain skin health, the use of such products must comply with the following rules:
- use only high-quality, proven products (see review below);

- If any undesirable manifestations occur, stop using the drug and consult a doctor.
The table below will help you get an idea of the most popular commercial products for lightening facial hair.

After using any lightening product, you need to treat your skin with a soothing cream. It is desirable that the product contains plant extracts: chamomile, calendula, aloe, etc.
Removal
The most radical way is to remove the hairs along with the follicle. This measure will allow you to enjoy the effect for 2-4 weeks.
Preparation
Regardless of the method used to remove hairs above the lip, preparatory stage always the same:
- cleanse the facial skin of impurities and cosmetic residues using a special lotion or tonic;
- moisten hot water a towel and apply to the area above the lip for 30–60 seconds: steaming the skin will help make the procedure less painful;
- wipe yourself dry;
- treat the area covered with hairs with a mild antiseptic.
Tweezers
The hairs above the lip are plucked in the same way as eyebrows. Before the procedure, it is necessary to disinfect the instrument used.
The method is easy to implement, although if there are too many unnecessary hairs, it can be quite labor-intensive.
Thread
To carry out the procedure, you only need a silk thread, knowledge of the methodology and a little skill. The process of removing unnecessary “vegetation” is carried out as follows:
- cut a thread 45–50 cm long from the spool and tie the ends to make a circle;
- throw a “ring” over the large and index fingers both hands and twist in the middle 8–10 times to form a figure eight;
- “tame” the place of twisting: when moving with your fingers, it should move to the right and left;
- move the “neck of the figure eight” so that one loop is slightly larger than the second;
- attach the device to the skin so that the place of twisting is under the unnecessary hairs, and the large figure-of-eight loop is above them;
- spread the fingers of the hand holding the smaller ring sharply to the sides: the place of twist will shift in the direction of the large loop, capturing the hairs.
To make the process of removing whiskers easier, experts recommend placing the tongue between the gum and lip.
Removing antennae with thread is contraindicated for areas with moles, warts, papillomas, as well as for:
- dermatological diseases;
- infectious and viral rashes;
- burns, irritations;
- oncology;
- pregnancy and lactation.
IN last years the procedure has become widely used in beauty salons; in European and American realities it is called trading.

Sugar paste
Hair removal using sweet paste is called sugaring. There are several methods of this procedure: manual (the composition is applied and removed with your fingers), spatula (manipulation is carried out with a special spatula), for the area above the upper lip a bandage technique is usually used:
- apply the paste heated to body temperature with a spatula or fingers against hair growth;
- cover the composition with a special fabric strip (bandage);
- remove the material with a sharp movement in the direction of hair growth.
To remove facial hair, it is advisable to use a purchased soft paste, similar in consistency to liquid honey, with natural composition. The label must state that the product can be used on the face. Judging by the reviews, formulations produced under the brands Alexandria, Aravia, Gloria, and Gannaan have proven themselves well.

Wax
Waxing to remove mustaches can be used in 2 ways:
- Wax strips. Warm a narrow wax strip intended for use on the face in your palms, remove it from the protective film and apply pressure to the area covered with antennae. Remove the strip with a sharp movement in the direction against hair growth.
- Warm wax. Heat the wax in a wax melter, apply it to the skin above the lip with a spatula, cover with a bandage strip and remove with a sharp movement in the direction of hair growth.

Waxing and sugar hair removal, trading - procedures that you can resort to not only at home, but also in the salon, trusting the experienced hands of a master. However, there are methods that only a professional can carry out.
Salon procedures involve intense effects on the skin, therefore, when deciding on them, you should:
- consult your doctor first;
- study contraindications and possible side effects;
- strictly follow the recommendations of the skin care specialist performing the procedure before and after the session;
- Plan hair removal during a period of low solar activity (late autumn-winter), since after the methods described below, the skin is especially sensitive to the effects of ultraviolet rays.
Laser hair removal
The epilation mechanism is as follows: laser ray penetrates the skin to a depth of 4–6 mm, and the melanin contained in the follicle absorbs its energy. This leads to the fact that the hair burns, and the vessel feeding its root is “sealed”.
To prepare for the procedure, you should refrain from sunbathing, shave your hair a couple of days before the session and start taking antiviral drug(after consultation with a doctor), if previously observed frequent relapses herpes infection.
Progress of the procedure:
- An anesthetic is applied to the treated area;
- when the anesthetic takes effect, the area above the lip is treated with a laser;
- the epidermis is lubricated with panthenol.
In the absence of hirsutism and hormonal imbalance It usually takes 7–10 sessions to remove the antennae.
Laser hair removal is contraindicated if:
- moles on the face;
- bacterial, fungal pathologies of the skin;
- herpetic rash;
- psoriasis, eczema, neurodermatitis;
- tendency to form scars and age spots;
- increased photosensitivity;
- allergies.
After the procedure you must:
- Apply sunscreen before going outside;
- avoid exposure to the sun for at least 2 weeks;
- regularly treat the skin with panthenol or another drug prescribed by a doctor;
- avoid excessive sweating (refuse to visit baths and saunas, heavy physical activity and etc.).
Electrolysis
During the procedure, the follicle is destroyed by an electrical impulse. The session goes like this:
- the skin is treated with a local anesthetic;
- hairs are successively removed using special equipment.
Sometimes one procedure is enough to achieve an acceptable result, in some cases it will be necessary to resort to it again.
To restore the skin after the procedure, the doctor may prescribe the use of Rescuer cream (for dry and normal skin), Solcoseryl (for oily skin) or some other drug.
The procedure is contraindicated in:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- diabetes mellitus;
- cardiovascular pathologies;
- oncology;
- skin diseases.
Photoepilation
Broadband pulsed light, absorbed by melanin, is converted into heat, which destroys the hair follicle.
As preparation, you need to grow your mustache to 1–3 mm, do not sunbathe for 1.5 months, and take antiviral agent prescribed by a doctor.
Progress of the procedure:
- the patient puts on safety glasses;
- A special gel is applied to the skin above the lip;
- pulses of light are sent through a special apparatus (as a rule, 5–6 flashes are sufficient for the area above the upper lip);
- the epidermis is treated with a sedative.
To achieve results, it usually takes 3–5 sessions, since the effect of light only affects hairs that are in the active growth stage, while dormant bulbs remain undamaged, and after some time appear as newly growing tendrils.
You should avoid photoepilation if:
- open skin lesions;
- tanned skin;
- after prolonged exposure to the sun;
- tattoo at the treatment site;
- therapy medicines, increasing sensitivity to light;
- presence in the body electronic devices(insulin pump, pacemaker);

- use cream with sun protection factor;
- limit exposure to the sun, do not sunbathe on the beach or in the solarium.
Equipment for photoepilation and electrolysis intended for home use is available in free sale. However, for safety reasons, professionals do not recommend using it.

One of the most unpleasant problems For any young girl or older woman, this is the appearance of a “gun” above the upper lip. There are quite a few reasons that provoke such an annoying phenomenon, but the most relevant are possible ways getting rid of it. Of course, in some cases, the most correct solution is full treatment with a doctor, but it does not always bring desired result. It also happens that the hair above the lip is a feature of a woman’s body. In such a situation, it is best to resort to the procedure of epilation of the upper lip.
Reasons for the appearance of mustaches in women
In medicine, the growth of hair above the upper lip, as well as the appearance of hair around the nipples, is considered an intersex phenomenon. This means that such signs can be present in both men and women. However, few representatives of the fair sex are comfortable with hair in such places.
The appearance of hairs in unexpected places (including on the upper lip) is called “hirsutism”. Doctors usually associate such clinical manifestations with excessive production of male sex hormone in the body. That is why you should first consult with your gynecologist and endocrinologist, who will help you identify the real cause of what is happening:
- Acute or chronic diseases internal organs. When hirsutism appears, dysfunction of the ovaries and adrenal glands is primarily suspected. The most dangerous diagnosis in in this case- this is the appearance of neoplasms. Associated signs that will allow you to promptly suspect a serious disorder and consult a doctor are a deepening of the voice, increased greasiness of the skin, and disturbances in the usual menstrual cycle.
- Genetic predisposition or heredity. This reason is especially important because it indicates the possibility of unwanted vegetation above the upper lip even in normal conditions of the body and the functioning of the endocrine system. In this case, the antennae do not pose any threat to the body, but it is still worth getting rid of them.
- Side effects from taking certain medications. This is most often associated with any type of hormonal medication. Some interferons, anabolics, and progestins can also provoke hair growth.
When faced with the problem of hair growth above the upper lip, pay attention to how many there are. For example, for brunettes, the appearance of a small amount of vegetation in undesirable places is usually a feature of the body.
However, you should not use it yourself various methods hair removal, it is better to consult a doctor.
Types of procedure and difference from depilation
Fortunately, today there are many methods for removing hair from any part of the body. There are two types of procedures: depilation and epilation. There is a very widespread belief that there is no difference between these two concepts, but this is completely false.
Depilation refers to the removal of only a certain part of the hairs that protrudes above the surface of the skin. In other words, the hair is practically cut off, and part of it, along with the bulb located in the follicle, remains intact, which is why it can grow back over time. The most well-known options for depilation are shaving using a machine with blades, and the use of special electronic depilatory machines.
If you need to get rid of a woman's mustache, hair removal is the best option. This procedure involves treating not only the upper part of the hairs, but also the follicle. This allows you to prolong the effect of smooth skin, reduce the rate of hair growth - or even get rid of it forever. Epilation weakens newly growing hairs, making them more fragile and lighter, and the risk of skin irritation after the procedures is minimal.
There are many more ways of hair removal. Moreover, each of them is suitable for removing the hated mustache above the lip, so it is very easy to find the procedure that will be the most comfortable and affordable for you.
Laser hair removal
Today this is perhaps the most effective way to remove unwanted vegetation. Of course, it is also quite expensive. However, if you only need to treat the area above the upper lip, then taking into account all the advantages of this procedure, the choice becomes obvious.
Vegetation is removed using a special apparatus. The sensor, which is located by the master over the desired area on the body, automatically emits a concentrated beam of energy, which has a chemical and physical impact on hair fabric.
The main “target” of such devices is usually melanin and carotene - two substances contained in the follicles, without which the construction and further growth of hair is impossible.
Thanks to local destruction, the hair is not just removed and becomes more fragile, but disappears forever - after approximately 5-6 sessions with an interval of 30 days.
Among the advantages laser hair removal The upper lip can also be noted as follows:
- The procedure does not last long.
- There are no consequences on the skin, since the laser does not affect the tissue surrounding the hair.
- Painless.
- Longer effect (compared to other methods).
- An opportunity to get rid of mustache once and for all.
Laser hair removal is carried out in cosmetology clinics and centers, where the process is supervised by an experienced specialist. You may be required additional training, which consists of avoiding shaving and using cosmetics on the day of the procedure.
Usually, this method contraindicated if you have diabetes mellitus, weakened immune system, acute diseases or exacerbation of chronic pathologies.
Photoepilation
Its principle may resemble laser hair removal. However, in this case, ordinary light radiation is used as an energy source. When applied to the desired area, the sensor produces several quick flashes within a second. In this case, light energy is absorbed by melanin and keratin in the hair follicle and turns into heat. An increase in temperature quickly destroys hair pigments - and as a result leads to their complete destruction. The effect of photoepilation lasts for up to 5 years.
Since exposure to light energy is effective only for bulbs in the growth stage, it is advisable to repeat the procedure approximately 4-6 times to achieve absolutely smooth and clean skin.
When compared with the same laser hair removal, it can be noted that this method has disadvantages that must be taken into account:
- The effect after several sessions may not be as good as expected. The hair will recover sooner or later.
- After the procedure it is possible undesirable consequences- like redness and swelling.
- Somewhat painful.
- Cannot be used if white vellus hair grows above the upper lip.
- Moreover, the cost of the procedure can be about 1,500 rubles only for the upper lip.
Electronic hair removal is another very universal method that is suitable for almost any woman with the problem of excess hair above the lip. To carry out the procedure, a special electric rod is used, with the help of which each hair is individually processed separately.
Of course, this procedure is very lengthy, and it can also cause some discomfort. However, these unpleasant shortcomings are more than compensated for by a very impressive and long-lasting result.
If we consider the principle of operation of professional electric hair removal in more detail, it is based on the same thermal effect, which has a destructive effect on hair follicle. In this case, it is achieved by directly introducing a thin electrode into hair follicle.
Electrical hair removal itself is unpleasant, so when it is carried out in the area of the upper lip local anesthesia simply necessary. The procedure is carried out in the form of a course consisting of 4-5 sessions (with breaks of two months).
It has virtually no contraindications - except for the patient having a pacemaker. After this, you can forget about the problem of hair growth above the upper lip forever.
Elos hair removal
It is a more modern universal method that is recommended for women in the most advanced and severe situations associated with the appearance of hair in inappropriate places. The procedure actually combines laser and electrical methods along with photoepilation, therefore it has wide range application and combines all the contraindications that are typical for the methods outlined above.
Of course, if you decide to use elos hair removal, you should prepare for the fact that one session will cost at least 2500-3000 rubles. On the other hand, many cosmetologists agree that this method (like electrolysis) is the most effective and can guarantee an absolute solution to the problem of unwanted hair growth.
Sugar hair removal
The master applies sugar paste to the area of the upper lip, and then sharply removes it, while pulling out all the hairs along with the roots. This method is quite painful.
Waxing
This method is painful, the effects will last several weeks, and the hair will almost certainly reappear. However, hot wax (like sugar paste) is more affordable and can be used at home.
Ways to remove mustaches at home
To remove hairs above the upper lip, it is not at all necessary to pay for a visit to a beauty salon.
First, you should evaluate the thickness of the hair, as well as its density. Very often you can avoid unnecessary costs and get by with tweezers.

Some women make do with so-called cold wax. These are special wax strips that are sold in stores as an epilation kit. To apply above the upper lip, just cut a strip the right size, hold it in your hands for a while to warm up, stick it on, wait a few minutes - and tear it off with one sharp movement.
Sugar pastes and hot wax are available for home use. The area above the upper lip is easily accessible, so it is enough to do the hair removal procedure in front of a mirror to avoid any difficulties. The finished base should simply be applied to the skin and then torn off along with the hairs.
Skin care after the procedure
Some types of hair removal are completely safe for the tissues surrounding the hair, so they are completely painless and without any consequences. If you prefer home sugaring, waxing, or go to a salon for these procedures, then it is best to take care of your skin, which is especially thin and vulnerable above the upper lip.
The most common threat is physical or thermal injury. upper layers dermis, which can cause irritation. To avoid this, after the hair removal procedure, you should definitely treat the skin with any fatty cream that has moisturizing and nourishing effects.
