Overgrown eyebrows, a fresh crop on your upper lips or fuzzy cheeks are some problems that
you may want taken care of.
Instead of risking the outside world, just dip into our pool of home remedies and we
will show you the best ways to escape each of these hairy situations!
This instant and easy method is something we’ve all tried.
But going overboard and plucking too many hair can help you end up with uneven brows.
What you need is a controlled guide so you only pluck out as many strands as necessary.
Start by filling in your brows as you normally would.
This will give you a definite shape to work around.
Take a clean tweezer and pluck the hair outside of your outline.

is quite dark.

hair or dark spots.

Next go over your chin and upper lip area gently.
Keep your skin stretched tight while you do this to avoid cuts and to get a smooth finish.
By going upwards not only do you remove hair, you also remove dead skin, revealing clean
and glowing skin underneath.
Once you’re done, wash your face with room temperature water and apply a moisturizer
afterwards to prevent your skin from drying out.
