I think it would be worth it though.....maybe. No one has mentioned them to me yet.
My daughter usually says it like she sees it but has not said anything.

It's one part of getting older that I hate.....along with the baggy saggy bits

DH says he doesn't notice all the dark hairs on my face, between my nose and my ears  and I excavate those under my chin (have bumped my thread  )

[Rowan]

Its called an "Epicare Wand" its an excellent little device to remove unwanted hair, once you get the hang of it, its remarkably easy to use and very effective. You can get cheaper versions.

Once the skin gets use to it especially above the lip, it no more uncomfortable then tweezing.

I must be a big coward cos even the thought of tweezers brings tears to my eyes.  Keep looking in the mirror and thinking I need to do something!  First, find the tweezers, then place hair in it, then....  nope....  might try when having a more positive day.

I bought a 7x magnifying mirror as I was finding that I couldn't see to put on my eye make up without my glasses on (kinda difficult  ).

What a shock that was when I saw all the hairs over my lip and on my chin that I hadn't known were there

Keep away from magnifying mirrors at college we used those big round ones that make your pores look like craters, it was horrifying and

guaranteed to give you a king size complex we had to  to examine each other's faces..

I found an inch-long, very fine hair growing out of my chin yesterday when I went to check my lippy 

Where did it come from and why haven't I notice it before?!

Zapped it with the tweezers!

I find that if I use a hair removal cream first and then when the skin is soft and the hairs begin to grow a tweezer doesn't hurt  or use a good facial cream on the area before pulling …...

I just pluck the little b###rs. I think I have a high pain threshold so I just go for it.

Anything but a razor

It's a satisfying tug ain't it

Has anyone found their eyebrows are growing longer? I've recently had to trim mine with scissors - some of them are about half an inch long!    (And hairy nostrils have become an issue too). I've also been tweezing moustache hairs for years.  All I need now is for the chin hairs to start sprouting and I'll resemble a werewolf!

Talking of eyebrows- I've noticed some white hairs in mine. Plucked them out pretty quick I can tell you

I find I get quite a lot of ingrown hairs when I pluck, how do you cope with them?

[Morwenna]

The only place I get the occasional ingrown hair is my bikini line which I battery shave. When I spot them I fish them out with tweezers.

Plucking white eyebrows is all well and good - I do it too - but there's going to come a time when there's more white ones than dark ones! And I bet tinting will turn them orange. I'm turning into my Dad!

My facial skin is less damaged and assaulted by a gentle - and I mean gentle - shaving of the hairs with a ladies razor. I am with choc57 on this one.

Agreed, Honeybun, but nor is facial skin meant to be waxed, sugared, lasered and electrolised. I have tried all these methods over the years having had this problem since the age of 40 after an early menopause and all of them have caused some form of reaction and I have spent  pounds and pounds and discomfort on electrolysis and lazering etc. and salon treatments.

So whatever the beauty therapists etc and the books say, that is the method which works for me, is the most gentle on my skin and costs the least.

It really is a horrible problem of growing old
