Facial hair can be the nightmare of many trans women, MTF individuals and even cis women and men. To look more well-groomed, smooth and feminine is to have a hair-free face, and this can encourage you to look for various methods. Here we have compiled some of these methods for you.

1.Feminization Hormone Therapy:

This method used for MTF individuals gives long-term and highly effective results. The hormones used in this method aim to reduce traditionally masculine characteristics and develop physical feminine characteristics. With these hormones, hair is lost, resulting in a more feminine and smoother face. Feminization hormone therapy (FHT) is a highly successful gender-affirming hormonal treatment. The detailed treatment plan for this method is determined by your doctor.

2.Laser Hair Removal:

It is possible to get rid of facial hair thanks to the popular method that can be considered as the “last hair bender” of recent years. Laser hair removal may require more than one session and the results are mostly long-term, but in some cases they may not be permanent. For this procedure, facial hair is removed with a razor and the roots are burned together with the laser. It is a painless and effective method.

3.Using Foundation:

Using a foundation with high coverage can be a savior for short-term and impromptu meetings. This temporary but accessible method can be handy. Using a foundation that is especially water-resistant and compatible with your skin tone will provide better results. At this point, it may be useful to contact a good make up artist. With the support of post-makeup fixing sprays and powders, you can achieve a coverage that lasts longer hours during the day.

4.Using a Color Corrector:

Corrector is an important makeup ingredient that helps to even out skin tone. The right color corrector, especially under concealer or foundation, removes the appearance of facial hair to a certain extent. However, the important thing here is to find the right color, to know the color of your hair and your skin undertone. Again, it may be useful to get support from a good make up artist at this point.

5.Shaving Regularly:

Regular shaving every day reduces the appearance of facial hair during the day. It is useful to use razors and shaving products that do not irritate the skin. Because irritated skin causes a darker color with the growth of facial hair, which means having a more conspicuous appearance.

6.Skin Care Routine:

After removing facial hair, a good skin care routine can increase the smooth appearance of the area and give you a more feminine face. At this point, it is important to find the right products that do not disturb the pH balance of your skin and will not irritate your skin. You should take care to use products with clean ingredients suitable for your skin structure and get help from a skin specialist on this subject.

7.Using Matte Lipstick:

Using matte lipstick or lipstick will reduce the pore appearance of hair or roots around the lips. Matte lipsticks are products that are dense and fixed on the skin due to their structure. Thanks to this dense and thick structure, it reduces the appearance of hair around the lips as well as imperfections on the lips.

8.Moisturize the Skin:

Make sure you moisturize your skin properly after shaving, especially if you intend to cover your hair with makeup. Especially for transgender individuals who are on HRT, dry skin can be seen, which can cause a more porous appearance and cause hair follicles to appear.

9.Tweezing:

Another practical way to get rid of facial hair is to pluck the hair with tweezers. This way is easy both in terms of low cost and accessibility as you will always have a pair of tweezers at home. However, we agree with you if you do not want to feel pain here like waxing. You can get help from creams with a mild numbing effect.
