Removing Vellus Hair (Peach Fuzz) from the face

Vellus hair (peach fuzz) is fine and short. It grows all over your body, including your face, stomach, arms, and legs. Vellus hair helps regulate your body temperature and protects your skin

Although there isn’t a medical reason to remove normal vellus hair, you may want to get rid of peach fuzz. Many women prefer to remove vellus hair on their face. The smooth surface allows for more effective performance of serums and moisturizers. It also gives a better result for makeup application. Several methods are effective at removing vellus hair, including:

          Depilatory creams – can dissolve hair below the surface of your skin. If you are removing peach fuzz on your face, be sure to use a depilatory cream made for the face. Depilatory creams for body hair are too strong and can cause damage to facial skin.

          Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive procedure. It removes the skin’s top layer by using a special instrument. This instrument shaves the uppermost layers along with the peach fuzz.

          Waxing – using hot, sticky wax and a cloth to pull hairs from their follicles.

Never try to bleach vellus hair. It can cause damage to your skin. It may also lead to permanent changes to your skin tone.

Remember to choose the best, safest method for you to remove hair to avoid skin irritation and redness.
