Tweezing Tips For The Upper Lip [Women]

I'm not into beauty or makeup or tans etc.
but i am a girl and i do have dark hair which of course makes hair show up a lot, especially on my face, above my mouth.

If you are like me, you may use cremes to remove the hair, but i say the best way is to tweeze, sure it takes ages and it does hurt at the start, it gets rid of the hair, and i have not noticed the hair growing back any thicker.

To start get some cloth/ towel whatever and soak it in very hot water, and press it above the mouth, okay it'll hurt for a few seconds till it cools down and you will get used to it, but it allows the blood to rise to the surface and therefore cause you less pain, lots of people say use ice to numb the area, i personally wouldn't because i find the area becomes rigid and as you pull the hair skin gets hot and it therefore hurts more.
I would invest in a standing mirror like this one http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://freestandingmirror.org/wp-content/uploads/unbranded-chrome-plated-free-standing.jpg&imgrefurl=http://freestandingmirror.org/&usg=__S_oLHPJqsFWCbp3uhwHmI-4n4eo=&h=300&w=250&sz=10&hl=en&start=0&tbnid=yFDFpvzzNR3FGM:&tbnh=114&tbnw=96&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsmall%2Bstanding%2Bmirrors%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26rlz%3D1T4ADFA_enGB353GB353%26biw%3D1259%26bih%3D599%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=404&ei=kqJiTNLVIJDF4gbVvrzaCQ&oei=kqJiTNLVIJDF4gbVvrzaCQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0&tx=38&ty=36
because it magnifies your face and you don't have to hold it, so you have all your hands free.

Make sure you're in the sun, or have a light above you, so you can see the individual hairs, have something that cheers you up next to you, such as a glass of wine or cake if your me, so when you're about to give up you can have a bite of it and move on to the next area.

Also make sure you aren't rushing and accept that there will be a bit of pain to start, there is bound to be if you're pulling the hair out of your skin.
Use your thumb and forefinger so hold the area taut, start at one end and work your way across, pull fast as it minimises pain, your face will get used to the pain and it gets it done quicker.
and that's about it really, hope it helps.
