HOW TO GET RID OF FACIAL HAIR - NADINE BAGGOTT 

I am so sad the video ended. I have been listening to Emma’s podcast for about a month now (started with episode one and trying to catch up to the most recent ones) and absolutely fell in love with her voice and character. Wow you both are so natural in front of a camera and I love the friendship you share. Please get her to do more videos with you? I thoroughly enjoyed these videos so much.

Thanks for tackling this sensitive subject with style, humor and grace. And loads and loads of brutal honesty!

Thank you for being so frank and explaining this so well. You have described so much of what I tell my friends. Many still do not want to talk about it, but once I state my menopause problems they come forward about their issues and are so happy it isn't just them.

Oh my gosh, I just adore you two! Thank you for making me feel so less lonely!

So pleased this subject has been discussed openly. I’ve always been hairy and now I’m 50 it’s getting even worse. All the teen mags I used to read (Jackie & Blue Jeans 😉) used to warn us girls in the 70s and 80s NEVER to remove our facial hair otherwise we would end up with coarse men’s stubble. I suffered with a moustache for years before I dare try waxing. It’s fabulous that we now have the tools and knowledge to get rid of facial hair which can really knock your confidence. Thanks for sharing Emma. You’re not alone!

This was hilarious!! Informative yet so hilarious, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you both xx

Bravo for talking about this honestly and openly. I always thought something was wrong with me. I loved your ideas.

I absolutley loved listening to Emma in this video and the thinnng hair videos. I find her absolutley adorable and so fun to listen to, could listen all day long. I have PCOS and all the things Emma mentioned and my GP doesnt take me seriously at all and I think until you can hold their hand and give them a bout of what you are going through so they can feel for themselves they will not understand. Emma you are stunning depsite how you feel sometimes dealing with all that.

Loved this, thank you for doing this!

Very informative, and loved the banter

Thanks for keeping it real ladies! I have used them all even in home lasers. My preference is battery operated shavers and of course the tweezers!

Two very beautiful ladies! Lovely to hear that no-one else sees what we can see in a magnifying mirror! Menopause and maturity does give a certain confidence and acceptance. Love it!

Thanks so much for Doing the video - makes you feel not alone!

You two are fabulous together...

Thanks for the review on the Phillips, I’ve been wanting to get one for ages...might be an early Xmas present 🎁

OMGoodness, why have i never come across your channel before?!! This is a wonderful video ladies, thanks tonnes. I have always had a slightly darker tash, growing up I kinda put it to the back of my head as I found it was all consuming. The thing that got me worse when I was late teens was the bikini line and my armpits, so I ended up getting laser hair removal at a clinic and after twelve sessions on each it really made a difference ( this was about 15 years ago) the bikini line has never grown back fully and neither the armpit hair but it's grown back sparsely but tbh I am happily married and hubby has seen me give birth to both our sons, so there's no shame. Now our youngest started school a year ago so, I have been looking into my beauty type things, because, well I can, I never bothered when they were super little as I had even worse skin than I have now and I was just too occupied with being at home with the kids. Here's the clincher, my mother dearest and nan went through the menopause at 39, I'm 38 in a couple of months and for the last 3 or so years, there have been certain symptoms that could suggest peri-menopause , more recently, my tash hairs are coming up darker and I have sprouted a few more too, there have been sprouters on my chin. My peach fuzz on the sides of my face and down the neck etc is still pale atm so I am not too fussed about it but the tash has really been bothering me lately. I would love to get the at home laser, but that'll be a save up kinda thing. I seriously think it's down to hormone changes ( not that it shows up on hormone blood tests till right before you hit menopause as I hear it). I am really going to try my damndest to save for the at home laser though, because I was so impressed from laser hair removal from years back that an at home one would be proper lush!! Loved this open chat about it though, it needs to be done more thoughout society, let's face it, we're all human!! xXx

Laser has been a huge blessing for me. It's worth every cent. It doesn't remove 100% but it's been significant enough to increase my confidence and quality of life.

I hate my facial/neck hair. Just started menopause (hysterectomy) at 55. It’s crazy. Thanks for going over the options.

Yes- keep a pair in the car too! Best light ever for facial hair! Something about natural light and being physically so close to a mirror!!

I could watch your videos all day long Nadin, your such an inspiration. I absolutely love anything beauty and make up it’s my passion. Any jobs going please let me know 😆

I have had problems with facial hair for 15 years thank you for this video

I was cracking up laughing, when Emma talked of the car mirror. There is no mirror in the world as powerful as a car mirror! 😆 Date a man with a bread, absolute stroke of genius!!!! I married a man who works from home and shaves once a week...👍🏻 Love you both and so glad you're helping women and teens feel better about facial hair.

Emma is fab! Those epilators are like combine harvesters on your skin!!!❤️❤️

Yes, Braun epil my vellus and top lip. Yes, hurts a bit at first, but only have to do it every 4 weeks💋

Nadine you are such a beauty knows it all inside out. Love love your videos and I'm becoming so addicted.

I use an epilator. After having chemo 10 yrs ago I developed more peach fuzz on my face than was natural, I was recommended an epilator and I still use one to this day 🤗

I've been going for laser hair removal, too scared to do the at home lasers though. So far I've had amazing results. I feel emma with the sideburns. At school I purposely kept my hair short enough so I could wear it loose and not have to tie it up😂😂

Thanks for this video Nadine. After years of shaving, tweezing, epilating and waxing I have finally taken the plunge and purchased the Phillips Lumea which is currently on offer with £100 off at Boots. Cannot wait for it to arrive and get started with it, especially on those pesky hairs that have started cropping up where they are not wanted since menopause! x

I’m currently using a men’s Bic razor to shave my face!!! I’m very unfortunate to hav dark hair everywhere so I hav to shave my face but I love everything about it I jus dnt like having to shave every 3 days!!!! I need to sav n get that laser hair remover mak my life whole lot easier!!!!! Love ur video content it’s original, informative n my all time fav channel!!!!

THREADING - magic for your upper lip, least irritating option I've tried, haven't tried laser yet, but my friends have and they swear by it x Thank you for addressing facial hair, refreshing!

Love this video. Facial hair is such a worry to lots of us x

Yes! All about my home IPL- Philips lumea prestige, I had rave reviews from 2 gal pals and am now converted🙏🏻 Great topic to cover x

My friend in school had side burns and I always found them beautiful.

Thanks so much for the video. I have epilated for the first time and it wasnt to bad, I just cannot afford the laser ones would love to own one though. You both look fabulous xx

I have used an epilator on my legs, underarms and bikini line for over 30 years. Now have no hair on my underarms, the odd one or two on my legs and the occasional one on my bikini line. The first time is the most painful, after that, merely uncomfortable, due to the hair growing in cycles. Once a week is usually enough to keep smooth. Highly recommend!

So funny, thank you for sharing!

Love you girls together! Really great rapport and v informative. Kx

Nadine and Emma....brilliant and suuuuuuper funny ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

I use the eyebrow shavers like the one Emma had, I have very light hair but around my jaw line up to my ears it can get quite dense especially now that I am getting older, I remove that maybe once a month and I just feel my make up sits on my skin better :) I think there is such a stigma on facial hair with women, while most do some kind of removal on their body why not on the face too? Thanks for making this video @Nadine and once again breaking a stigma in the beauty world! (that's why I love you so much!)

The nose waxing would remove my skin as well. Men grooming sets by Wahl or Philips have a nose hair trimmer which is ideal.

Tthe hostess was very rude by interrupting, the guest could not complete one sentence! The guest had many ideas but hard to understand with the interruptions!

Love the Parissa hot wax. Works amazing

Fab video! Dream Team 💜💜

Dear Nadine and Emma: Don't fear the epilation!..I use it, wherever. One becomes used to it, after three or four goes, in that particular area. Becoming 'used to it', means that the nerves in your skin don't feel it, anywhere near, like the first few times, of using the epilator. And the skin is so baby soft! The trick is to purchase the right epilators, for the different parts of the body. By right, I mean the best makes, and the also the size, in relation to the part/s of the body. When epilating, you must apply a certain pressure, otherwise it will be painful. For the face, I use a battery powered XD-3007 facial epilator. It isn't that strong, but I am the same colouring as Nadine, and therefore do not suffer from course, dark, hair. For the body, I use Emjoi....different sizes for different parts of body. Every girl should start with an epilator, and then it probably wouldn't be that painful, in the beginning. Emma, please, please, stop the shaving, and the plucking, epilation is so much easier, long lasting, and eventually permanent. In saying that, I do agree, also, that the laser is long lasting, and eventually permanent. Laser only works on dark hair. Electrolysis is also permanent. Epilation works on all hair, it is inexpensive, but it is something that only the person with the hair, must apply to themselves. I am certified, degreed, skin therapist.

I have PCOS and after having my son, the situation was beyond camouflage. Full-on thick black beard all along my jaw and neck. I tried everything. IPL did absolutely nothing. Zero. I just plucked every day, which resulted in loosened neck skin after a few years. In the end, I shaved it all off and a few days in, I did electrolysis. It hurts only the first three times I think, but you can apply a cream beforehand that numbs the area, then it's not even annoying. I did it every few weeks and a year later, I'm completely hair-free. Of course, after three to four months you're already at the stage where you don't mind growing them out because they are so much thinner and blonder. Please try electrolysis if your facial hair is due to hormonal reasons, it's an annoying process but it's the only thing that works. Even laser was a waste of money.

Dermaplaning/shaving is the best. I do entire face, forehead, nose, cheeks, everything with those little pastel razors that come in a 3 pack. Once every couple of weeks is plenty, regrowth is slow and not terribly prickly with the vellous hair. Plus I'm getting excellent exfoliation at the same time, loads of dead skin comes off! Sideburns might be pretty prickly though.

Lol, actually sitting here giggling! Thank you 💕😜

Yup, I followed Caroline Barnes but have been thinking of doing the IPL for quite a while - it just needs to be a good deal

Loved your segment. I have also used all of the above hair removals. Love the epilator and have a wonderful product me flashing light that is permanent and does all hair types and skin types. If you have tried everything and nothing works try the braun epilator and the me, it guarantees permanent hair removal on all hair types and I love it. Good job ladies...look forward to watching more videos.

I was a hairy teenager, oh the mortification of it all 😢😢 however my friend lent me her lumea essential (about £200) and it REALLY works. I feel so much more confident now getting undressed....only need to worry about my wobbly bits now lol! I never dreamt it would work but it has so it is worth the money if your hair really upsets you like it did me x

I love epilating ! Been doing it for years! Now I bought the Lazer that you’re holding and I’m lost!

Hi Nadine! Love your videos. I was wondering if you could tell me the US model equivalent of the laser that you use. Thank you so much.

You ladies are beautiful and the kitty is perfection...

Emma's cheekbones are amazing

Hahhaa I thought I was the only one finger tweezing in meetings. Busted!!

Thanks for that video - the biggest beauty issue I have. I only wax my face, just too scared of bristles. 😨👍Liz xxx

I'm so lazy. I just the eyebrow blade on the face and a regular razor on my "sole patch" I really can't be bothered to do anything else and it works!

I am using the Bellabe which is a gadget that actually pulls the hair out by the roots, and leave my skin soft and smooth. I also find that my hair grows back slower and finer.

I epilated my upper lip for years on of those little phillips face epilators, not painful at all. mind you I have soft blonde hair there, now I have just spent a month or tow elctrocuting with a home electrolysis machine also not painful at all.

Such good information!!!!!!! It is a topic that is not talked about! Question - I thought the IPL will not work on light hair but then you said you use it??? I'm confused? I use a little hand held eye brow razor called Tinkle....soooooo good, all fuzzy face hair painlessly gone! Thanks Ladies!

Nadine, when you are speaking to the hierarchy at Boots (or any high street store), can you PLEASE enlighten them about the eyebrow style razors. The shelves are stacked high with useless razors and I have yet to find the useful sort in any store!!!! At the moment, I am struggling to find them online in the UK (the link above included!). Hats off to Emma for being brave enough to speak about it in the public domain, be proud that you will help others by doing so. I cannot understand why GPs seem to dismiss PCOS so easily, surely it is worth dealing with earlier rather than later? oxox

Have never identified with a tutorial guest so much . I’ve been epilating entire face , jaw , neck ( used to do pits as well ) and bikini area . Watching this as I’m unpacking and shaving what’s grown in . At age where dark hairs going white , so running out of time to use this tec .

You mention an earlier video about hair loss (on your head ) & products that work - can you send me a link to that?

I just got the philips ipl a few weeks ago and i think my leg hairs are already growing in less dense..i'm dealing with italian genes and i have moustache, occasional beard hair poking though and all the usual places..really hope it will solve my problem

Great video! I have tried all of the above except laser. My problem is I struggle with ingrown hairs and breakouts after the hair removal whether I've waxed, shaved or epilated. Any advise on how to prevent them?

OMG..when I first saw your hand, I thought it was a piercing and was like that’s sooo cool.

You two together , then the bearded men joke, then Yogi... Heaven!

Thank you for this video. I have PCOS and my facial hair is bad😢 Or maybe is only bad for me coz my partner said many times that he can't see anything really bad. But for me it something really upsetting and I think that is only one thinkg what other people will see 😵 and yes, I do use face shavers. But I think that Philips device maybe a solution 😊 I'm glad that there are other ladies with same problems

Well I learned something today ... I have fine hair on my face, who knew? I've honestly never looked that closely, but like Nadine I quite like it! It is very fine and pale, which is lucky I guess as I'm 58 and well into the menopause. However, having had a close look, I spotted a few nose hairs that I might pluck out now, but I think I'll pass on all the torture implements that were demonstrated!!

Love you two together , remind me of me and my friends .

Hello Nadine, love the channel. Please tell me where to find a x 30 mag mirror. Cannot find on amazon or ebay. Many thanks.

Hi Nadine.... A question about the Phillips IPL. I have had the IPL done in the Day Spa...... They have also used it for sun damage and pigmentation. Does the Phillips Lumea work for that as well? It sounds like the same thing I have done in the Skin Spa.....

Thanks for that girls I did manage to catch most of your ideas, theres shave a little, zap a little, pluck a little, and no plucking at all. I'll continue to cream up and pluck.

Thanks for the video. I'm extremely self conscious of my facial hair although they're mainly blonde. Will the at home ipl aggravate melasma? I know that professional lasers can make melasma worse if not done correctly .

I really enjoyed this video as I can relate to Emma a lot regarding facial hair. I do wax my nostrils too 😂😂😂 Emma Guns please where can I buy that hot wax that you use? The only place I'm able to get hot wax is in Spain when I go to visit my family as they all live there. Thanks.

Veet facial wax on tasche and chin but now thinking about epilator!

Unbelievable what a journey😘

I love it, real women who suffer as I do. You gals are funny! So I'm thinning as well, where do I find the video on thinning hair? I'm becoming depressed over my hair thinning out so much. I use to have so much hair, now turning 60 and it really stinks. Help ladies!

Love the cat!😻

I was so mortified by my sideburns and mustache in middle school. My sideburns are pretty much the length of my ear and my hair dresser trims them lol. But I wax my mustache. The fuzz on my cheeks doesn't bother me just my dark brown mustache.

Im post menopausal and get some dark and white chin hairs, what is the best procedure?

Oh the joys of facial hair! 😩

I use the flawless electronic mini razor, recommended by Hot and Flashy. It gets rid of my white fluff, but not as close a shave as using dermabladding.

For years I used a cream hair remover on my upper lip. Then I bought an IPL and I will warn ladies that it hurts at maximum strength on your upper lip. You have to have it at maximum to work the best so use a numbing cream.

I use tweezers, hot wax, Braun epilator, razor and threading. Now I'm looking up options on home laser IPL

Weird experiences for me - 2/3rds of my hair fell out when I developed Lupus. Kevin Murphy hair products (also biotin) got me 1/3 back so happy with that. But virtually all my eyebrows went from really thick to barely there. I started taking biotin every day and my eyebrows are back but so is the hair on my lip and sideburns. Unsure what to do. I am so relieved at getting my eyebrows back I pretty much ignore the rest. The baby hairs all over my head making me want to rejoice :-)

Nadine if you get rid of the blond down I promise you will never have it back... it makes a world of difference in how your makeup goes on! Also, when I had my salon I literally waxed my whole face... it was FAB! It’s smooth and better than any exfoliating... smooth as can be!!! There’s also a cute little battery operated rotating disc shaver that is sold in every colour everywhere and it’s great for those strays. 💞

Love this video, Nadine and Emma! - how refreshingly honest. It’s about time we talked about this, openly. It must affect so many women. What about using acids and retinol alongside the Philips IPL? I’m sure the instructions on mine advised not to use acids in the week before using the gadget (iirc?) What do you do, Nadine? Do you stop using acids in the week before using it? And does it make melasma brown spots worse? And - we need more info on your 30x mirror please!

LOL ... thank you for this documentary on the secret, underground world of feminine facial hair!!! I'm right there with you girlfriends ... who knew among friends it could be so much fun!!! Big Hugs and Smiles, Stella

Would love to try the Lumea. Is it safe to use it you have melasma?

My skin care cal suggests Derma planing to remove peach fuzz and surface dry skin. What do you think?

I had cancer last year. I'm going to be 50 in July, and I have more blonde facial hair now than ever before. And I have a little saver and it just makes it shorter. I would love to just have it all gone

The tinkle shavers are cheap and work well on blonde peach fuzz and the little moustache. And it doesn't grow back thicker...it comes out the same.

I tweeze or use facial epilator. Have tried the string method thingy (can't remember what it's called) & waxing but i'll get acne after that

Share the same curse of hair loss and having body and facial hair. Have done electrolysis and waxing since I was 14. Then laser hair removal for my body when places finally opened up, but was told laser wasn’t right for my face just for my body. I think know some lasers now won’t cause hair to grow on your face as opposed to get rid of it.

On this subject watch Dr Dray she is a Dermatologist ABSOLUTELY all the info you need on her you tube

How long have you been using that laser? The most important info missing in this video is how long on average it takes to permanently get rid of a hair with a home laser?? I started getting scads of menopausal blonde peach fuzz along with renegade dark hairs on chin and upper lip. Could not use wax or cream products because they inflamed my skin. Also tried an epilator which was very painful. The No!No! did not work at all on the dark hair and only a little on the light. I've read that plucking hairs can initially strengthen the follicle as a rebound effect which will dramatically slow down the time it takes to defuse the follicle. I now use the Flawless Finishing Touch on the blonde fuzz which is the best shaver so far of the many out there, or I use Shiseido manual face razors when I want some exfoliating. I'm thinking about electrolysis for the random dark hairs because I know someone who had that done and was so glad to have her dark mustache finally gone. I'd really like to know how many times Nadine has lasered her dark hairs??? I've heard lasers can take *forever* to permanently get rid of dark hair.

Hi, nice advices...do you have any solution for gray facial hair?

Totally feel ur pain My dad always jokes about when he first saw me after being born I had side burns and hair trail done my back...lotsa dark black hair everywhere ! I gradually and only slightly grew out of some but have had to wax etc since teen years. I’m having a helluva time finding something in my 40s. I blame heredity and being 98% German. ✌️✊💪🤟 Emma (ironically)

I'm curious about your skin care routine with laser hair removal. I give myself weekly treatment with the Tria laser. I understand it's different from the Philips but I believe the treatment is similar. So, how do you use actives like retinol, vitamin C, etc and give yourself laser. I only use actives on my forehead and cheeks where the laser doesn't contact and I crave the opportunity to use actives all over my face.
