Facial hair can cause discomfort, especially if it is located on the upper part of the lip, creating a mustache effect. Luckily you can eliminate it with different methods that go from the natural to the aesthetic.

Start loving yourself and see how beautiful you are, and every treatment you take do it because you love your body, not because you hate its appearance.
