I think my first wrinkle came after high school graduation. I swear, I could see it right by the left side of my mouth but everyone else said they couldn't see it. A smile line. Little did I know that was just the beginning -- there were more things to come that seem all relative now. However, in today's society, beauty and looks are the first impression and are everything. Women obsess about it all...wrinkles, facial hair, acne, ruddy coloring, freckles...and it unfortunately affects our self-esteem and how we carry ourselves.
In fact, I'm not alone in my worries, a recent survey conducted by Kelton Research on behalf of Olay found that nearly 84 percent of women agreed that unwanted facial hair made them feel less confident, leaving them insecure. And of the 6,600 women surveyed, 96 percent of them take great care to eliminate that unwanted facial hair -- removing their hair five times a month. OUCH! Imagine going to get waxed, sugared or threaded five times a month -- that's sure to leave a mark more visible than the facial hair itself.
Facial hair is not one of those things that can be covered up easily with makeup like other facial beauty problems such as acne. In fact, putting foundation and cover-up over facial hair will make it even more visible than not wearing anything at all. There has to be an easier way to get rid of the hair without making a huge deal of it, spending tons of money and without anybody noticing...right?! Thank goodness there is!

The new
Olay Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Duo is a new depilatory that uses a two-step system to effectively remove unwanted facial hair without leaving behind the tell-tale signs of removal such as redness and skin irritation. It has a pre-treatment Skin Guarding Balm that helps prepare the skin for removal with natural ingredients that soften and protect the skin, like soy and cotton seed esters, beeswax and Modified Chinese Wood. Then you follow the pre-treatment with the water-based removal cream. It takes about 5-7 painless minutes to get your confidence back!
I may not ever be able to get rid of the left "smile line" but now I can definitely get rid of the unwanted facial hair and have it be just our little secret...shhh!
