I wax at home using a product called "Moom". You can get it at co-ops, Whole Foods, and online. Over the years, I have tried Sally Hansen and other drugstore brands, and Moom is hands-down, the absolute best. For one thing, you don't have to heat it up, you can just use it cold right out of the jar. Also, the starter kit comes with some really thick cloth strips that you use again and again--I have been using mine for years. The paper strips that come in most other brands are a joke. Moom is all-natural--I have had bad skin reactions from the other brands.

Waxed hair grows back slowly and thinner and thinner each time. I have heard that years of waxing can make the hair disappear altogether, although this has not happened to me yet.

I would discourage bleaching. I tried this once, and it just "illuminated" my facial hair--not at all the look I was going for. ;-)

I get my eyebrows "sugared". It's less irritating than waxing because it only contains sugar and lemon juice. Many salons have this service.

Wax...that's about all there is to do. My mom did the laser treatment and that didn't work long term...I wax.

I've used laser hair removal and loved the results but you might have to go a few times (usually spaced out around 6 months) and laser only works on darker hair.

Because I break out from everything, I have my facial hair waxed at a salon so that they can use their little ozone generator afterward on my skin - this helps with breakouts by killing the bacteria in the open pores. Unfortunately, waxing doesn't work for whiskery-type hair, of which, sadly, I have quite a bit. Those hairs, I have to tweeze. The salon will also tweeze them for you if you ask them to.
Good luck!

wax, wax, and more wax. :)

I went to a beauty store and invested in a nice wax heater, and other products like they use in the salon. It was a little expensive, but WELL worth it. Just 2 or 3 waxes and it pretty much paid for itself, when comparing it to paying the bill at the salon.
