What are the pros and cons of waxing above your lip versus bleaching?

16 Jan

We’ve tried waxing but my 15 year old wants to try bleaching. What do you think? And if yes, buy the stuff at the beauty supply ?

yes waxing hurts, but sometimes so does bleaching- it can burn your skin if you are not careful.(then you can end up with redness and even scabs) if you do use it make sure you do a patch test on your arm before you put it on your face. i used to use bleach(sally hanson and jolen brands), until i started reading about how all the chemicals in beauty products are toxic. some are hormone disrupters, some are carcinogens. now i actually use an electric razor(like the kind guys use) it is much less irritating.i know most women are afraid that the hair will grow back thicker, but i have not experienced that, and besides, even if it does, you are still going to be removing it somehow, right?the other thing i didn’t like about the bleach, is that it actually bleaches your skin, too-so your upper lip looks all white and the rest of your skin looks normal.also, when you bleach, you obviously aren’t removing the hair, and it is still visible, something that i did not like.
