Appearances
You've got plucking and other forms of mechanical hair remover, where the hair may not come back or comes back more slowly, depending on whether you've got to the root of the follicle.
Associated with that, you've got laser hair removal, which is expensive and painful, but by and large, the hair does not grow back, although you need repeated therapies.
You've got waxing, which lasts longer, leaves you with smoother skin.
And you've got depilatories.
You've got chemical ways of doing that, usually with a substance called thioglycolate associated with an alkali, which effectively dislodges the hair chemically.
All of them have their risks versus benefits.
All of them have got to be done carefully.
And for much of it is preference, but also being aware that some of those techniques, the hair will not grow back.
And so you've got to be careful.
Eyebrow plucking is classic, where if you over pluck, you will permanently change your eyebrows and there's no going back.
But there is one technique that I haven't included in this.
Yes.
Or even as I discovered recently, longevity.
People are doing all sorts of stuff, which we might be paying the price off in 20 years time.
Bottom line is do what I do.
Get one of those little buzzy machines and just do the outside of your nose.
You don't want to look like the forest growing out of your nose and disgust everybody around you.
And don't go too deep.
Don't go too deep.
And we'll put a link to our creatine episode in our show notes.
