Excessive Facial Hair or Hirsuitism

Who is susceptible: Waldorf says this problem can be genetic or hormonal. "If you have significant facial hair in a male pattern area, it is important to have lab tests by your physician (your dermatologist, gynecologist or endocrinologist)," she says. "Some women with excessive facial hair have polycystic ovary syndrome which is treated by the endocrinologist."

How to treat it: "Beyond shaving, waxing and depilatories, which are all temporary ways to remove hair, the options for permanent hair removal are electrolysis or laser hair removal," Waldorf says. She adds that dark hair works best with laser removal, but it's important to find a doctor that knows what he or she is doing. Another option is prescription Vaniqa Cream, which can slow hair growth.

Love knowing about all this beauty information to help me with future problems. I found it really interesting that just ONE of these littlest things shared on here could be the key problem to the skin flaws that are making you feel insecure about your skin or hide your face. Until you know exactly which of these problems are helping to cause your acne, you should try your best to follow all these rules for clearer skin. Thanks for the great article!
