CARE OF SKIN: EXCESS HAIR IN WOMEN
Excess hair can be unattractive, and I don’t blame anyone for wanting to get rid of it. Try bleaching first, using ordinary peroxide to which a drop of ammonia has been added. (Avoid bleaches containing sodium perborate.) The simplest way to remove excess hair is by shaving. If you use an electric razor—there are some made especially for women—your skin will not become tough. Despite what you may have heard, shaving does not encourage the growth of hair or make it coarse. It is better and far easier than rubbing hair off with an abrasive such as pumice, and far less painful than pulling out hairs with tweezers. If there are not too many excess hairs, you can cut them off with a pair of cuticle scissors.
Be very careful about the use of a chemical depilatory on the face; the waxes are safer, though painful. If you do use a chemical depilatory on your body, be very careful not to get it into your eyes. Always try it on a small spot of skin to see whether it is irritating. Do not use one more often than once every two weeks, and discontinue immediately if the skin becomes inflamed or itches.
None of these depilatories will remove hair permanently. The only permanent method is electrolysis, involving the insertion of a tiny needle into the hair follicle.
