Get rid of peach fuzz for good with this brilliant guide

Everyone has facial hair. For some, it's almost invisible and goes unnoticed. But for some people, facial hair makes it difficult to apply makeup, even after exfoliating. If you're comfortable with your facial hair, then there's no need to read on or change your habits. But if you'd rather not deal with it every time you apply makeup, the following tutorial will help you learn how to safely eliminate it at home.
Contrary to what a lot of people think, many women, including skin care gurus, actresses and models, shave their faces regularly. Shaving removes unwanted fuzz and also exfoliates the skin, making it feel smoother. There are some important do's and don'ts to remember, though, so watch the video all the way through before trying this at home.
