It might not be something you like to talk about, but unwanted facial hair takes an emotional toll on a woman’s self-esteem. Whether it’s on the upper lip, chin, cheeks, or elsewhere, facial hair can be embarrassing or make a woman feel unattractive. Luckily, there are products like the new Olay Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Duo which gently and effectively removes unwanted facial hair in two simple steps — with no tell-tale irritation or redness.
But before you begin to remove your unwanted facial hair, it’s important to determine your facial hair type. According to Olay, hair can be classified into 3 types:
- Fine hair can be compared to the thin and soft fuzz on a peach
- Medium hair is more visible, but still soft to the touch
- Coarse hair tends to be more visible and stiff, similar to a kiwi
Every woman’s facial skin and hair is unique, so if you identify your hair type as fine to medium, you’re ready to find a hair removal system that works for you. For women with coarse hair, Olay will be introducing a hair removal system for tougher-to-remove hair in the near future, so stay tuned.

When Nikki Reed’s not rocking her Twilight character Rosalie’s blonde wig, her hair is often styled in a softly, touchable ‘do. This loosely swept updo, for a recent red carpet event, was no exception. Regardless of her haircolor, there’s certainly no mistaking her strong chiseled chin or thick and full eyebrows.
I have what might be considered unruly, unmanageable hair. Really, it’s bordering on the ridiculous. Luckily, no one has to see it in its natural state, thanks to Kerastase Masquintense for Thick Hair.Used once a week, this mask completely transforms even the most difficult hair into lush, beautiful gorgeousness. I apply a quarter-sized amount to hair after shampooing and leave on for 5-10 minutes (the perfect time to do a body scrub, right?) and let the mask work is magic.
Kerastase’s patented DOSAGE GLUCO-ACTIVE 3 technology combines proteins, lipids and glucose. What does this mean for your hair? Well, that it’s nourished, moisturized and ends up looking completely gorgeous, of course! I honestly can’t believe the difference in my tresses after using this mask.
Kerastase Masquintense for Thick Hair retails for $60 at kerastase-usa.com.
