10 Top Ways To Remove Upper Lip Hair At Home Naturally & Permanently

But What Causes Upper Lip Hair?

Excessive hair growth on face and body is called hirsutism and it is caused due to hormonal imbalance and is mostly common in women suffering from poly cystic ovarian syndrome (pcos).

Some hair on our upper lip is normal and is mostly genetic but if the hair growth is dark, coarse and very visible then it is highly likely to be due to hormonal imbalance.

The best way to stop hair growth on upper lip is to treat pcos and you can find how to treat pcos with natural home remedies easily here.

Once pcos is treated, upper lip hair won’t grow as thick and coarse anymore and you can easily remove the existing hair with the remedies given below.

Different Ways To Remove Upper Lip Hair?

Some of the common methods used for removing upper lip hair instantly are plucking unwanted upper lip hair with tweezers, waxing, using hair removing creams and electric trimmers.

Finally there are homemade scrubs which helps stunt the hair growth permanently but it takes time and depending on the coarseness of the hair might take months to see results but the results are permanent.

I would suggest not using tweezers to pluck upper lip hair especially if the hair is thick as it injures the skin.

The best option is to use instant hair removal methods like waxing or using an electric trimmer to remove existing hair along with using homemade scrubs daily.

This way we can remove existing hair and arrest further hair growth simultaneously. When you continuously use both methods, you will find hair growth gradually diminish and over time will stop completely.

The time it takes will depend on how coarse your hair is. To use the below given scrubs, make it into a paste and apply as a thick coat on the upper lip.

Wait for it to almost dry and then start rubbing gently in small circular motions and then remove it off. Wash your face and then apply a moisturizer without fail…..
