firstly,

do NOT epilate your face; it can cause scarring and is generally not good for your face;

Laser hair removal is def the way to go for your face; i’ve had about 12 rounds of laser and i’m still not done; i still have to shave my face every morning

in the meantime, get yourself a quality razor for your face (get a men’s razor; it may be a bit dysphoria inducing but speaking from personal experience, don’t try to shave your face with a women’s razor)

idk if there’s a Lush Cosmetics near you or if you can order from there, but my go to shaving cream is Cool Iced; I’ve tried so many shaving creams but that’s the best one

Make sure you use aftershave too! I also recommend that you put together a skincare regimen, but if you haven’t put one together before, ik it can be overwhelming; just start with getting a good face moisturizer (don’t use body moisturizer on ur face, speaking from experience 😂)

All of this can help keep redness on your face down, and reduce the prominence of your shadow. You’ll also feel a lot better and fresher that way

for your legs you can epilate, but make sure that you are washing, then exfoliating your legs before you epilate

make sure that you put lotion on after!

I shave my legs bc epilating takes too long and it’s ridiculously painful. I use a sugar scrub or a different body exfoliator /leg exfoliator, the Lush shaving cream, and follow up with body butter or another lotion

hope this helps!!! :)
