Well, I've been using the Eyelash Gel and pretty much love it. Now, I am wondering if you could whip up a potion with the opposite effect?
This is totally embarressing, but due to a hairy female relative down the line, I have to fight daily with with little black hairs popping up on my chin. If I didn't keep on top of them, I'd be sporting a beard in no time flat. I tweeze the little buggars, since it gives the easiest and cheapest result, but I know there are products out there that cut down on hair growth. I am just not sure whether I really want to use them on my face.
Karen, is this something you could take a stab at??
I would be really grateful!

Please Please Karen if you could at least make an attempt at this I would be so grateful... I have PCOS and it causes me to have more facial hair and I hate it :oops: .... I have used some of the chemical hair removers but of course they break me out :( ... I would love to see some sort of product that would not be as bad for the tender face! Please please please! :D

Spearmint in formulations is good at inhibiting hair growth yet gentle enough to realistically add. It won't stop it of course, but it helps. I use skincare from another company that puts spearmint in some of their products and lists it as great for inhibiting hair growth.

I've used a Jergens one before that worked really well on my legs. Not sure what the secret ingredient is though... It made my hair really fine and thin and blonde and it kind of stayed like that to this day.
Aveeno make some lotions like this too, I think it says Soy Complex or something like that for the ingredient that inhibits the hair growth.
I would really love to see Karen cook up something natural that does this, I haven't used any of the above mentioned products since switching all the stuff I use to all natural.

I will check out if that could be anything that could work for me, because as Fairyfli, I have PCOS and my chin is growing a "beard" :lol: Thanks for the info!
Will email you soon btw ;)

I found that "something" from Brandiwine over on the other forum that I was supposed to send you. I felt terrible when I couldn't find it, then it was just sitting with all my other FS jars like it was there all along. I swear I looked for it there and hadn't seen it prior. But anyway, as soon as things straighten out a bit and I can afford shipping, I have that and something else for you. ;) Talk to you soon. :)
