Your Bod

I have hair on my upper lip, like a mustache!

I want to get rid of it but don’t know how. I tried tweezing it, but it hurts.

Many dark-haired girls and even some blondes have this issue, so you’re not alone, explains Dr. Steven R. Cohen, chief of dermatology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center, New York City.

The easiest solutions are at the drugstore. Try bleach (Sally Hansen Hair Bleach Crème Face) or depilatory formulas. Waxes are available, too, but those are definitely packed with ouch. A professional at a beauty salon can do a quick, relatively cheap waxing job.

A more expensive solution? Your derm can remove it with laser.
