I’m a girl of 16 and getting a moustache. I’m so embarrassed. What can I do about it?

You should not shave it off because this causes stubbles. You can take the hairs out one by one with a pair of tweezers. Once you have them all removed you look for new hairs every evening and pull them out. But if you find this too much work you can also have it waxed. Wax is applied to your lip, a cloth pressed on top. This is ripped off with a quick movement, removing the wax along with the hair. This is painful, but very effective, because it also removes the roots of the hairs, making the hairs stay away for several weeks. Another possibility is laser treatment. This is a rather expensive but permanent solution. Laser works with light, passing through the skin to the hair follicle. The energy of the laser is transformed into heat, destroying the follicle. Make sure it’s done by a professional with a lot of experience.
