I have some level of beard and moustache (I am female btw) and for years now I have coped by using hair remover cream once a week plus quite intensive plucking.
I have noticed over the last few years that my lower cheek area is full of quite downy but prolific hair and I don't know what to do about it. I asked my husband if it were noticeable and he began to say 'yes', saw my face and said 'no'
When I wear makeup I can see it sitting amongst the hairs.
I am tempted to start shaving it, because I really hate it and I believe that it does show. I don't want it to grow back even worse though, I have visions of developing a 5 o'clock shadow.
Does anyone else have this problem, and if so what did you do about it?

Support and friendship for those whose lives have been affected by estrangement.
