How do MTFs deal with facial hair?
>need advice :c
>>6318115
I just shave it. I could tweeze it if I found my mothers pair of tweezers. Hope to get electrolysis.
>>6318115
crying seems to work for me
1) Take care of your skin. My regimen goes like:
>AM: salicylic acid cleanser, daytime moisturizer with SPF
>PM: oil cleanser, salicylic acid cleanser, nighttime moisturizer
I use a knockoff Clairsonic for the cleansers by the way and pay extra care to exfoliating the skin under my chin where I get the most hair growth and irritation. Wearing SPF when you're outside during the day is crucial, as is staying hydrated.
2) Shave as best as you can. Use a shave gel/lotion that won't dry out your skin because that will irritate it. Note that most common shaving creams contain alcohol and that's a nono. Shave with the grain first, then against (reapplying your shave whatever), using your free hand to pull the skin taut and using short strokes with light pressure. Use as few passes as possible, and pay extra care and attention to your chin/jaw where you can't just pull the skin flat easily. Don't use razors more than a couple of times, and sanitize them with some rubbing alcohol after every use.
3) Wear nice makeup. You want at *least* a good primer and a buildable foundation (I suggest powders for this). I'd also suggest a lightweight concealer that's just a few tones oranger than your skin tone, which you can apply to your upper lip/etc. to hide "blue" facial shadow, and a setting spray too since upper lip is one of the areas on your face you're most likely to sweat through, especially if you're wearing concealer (which is why lightweight is crucial). And back to 1 for a second, oil cleaners make for great makeup removers - always remove your makeup at night or you'll get clogged pores, and places you shave with bigger pores because of the hair shaft can be especially prone to this.
4) Laser. This is where having clear skin becomes extra important, because you want to have a very good/close shave, which is more difficult when your skin is irritated to begin with. Get a Tria if you can handle self-inflicting pain or go to a clinic.
Hope this helps!

I just stopped growing it.

Also here's the stuff I put on my face currently:
>Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil
>Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash
>CeraVe AM (this is SPF 30)/PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion
And the knockoff Clarisonic I bought is the ULTA Sonic Advanced Facial Cleansing System. It's a brush that vibrates really fast and breaks up sebum and whatever gunk gets caught in your pores during the day/overnight.

Some girls have facial hair, hon! A little makeup will cover it just fine! There's no reason to try to meet some unrealistic, patriarchal beauty standard.
>>6318115
pluck
>>6318549
kek, having a beard is no longer a secondary sex characteristic but an arbitrary beauty standard, THE SJW HAS SPOKEN
>>6318549
>A little makeup will cover it just fine!
i have a full beard after a few days
>>6318549
this post physically hurts me
>post useful, thoughtful reply
>nothing but trolling
oh okay i guess
>Start HRT young as possible.
Shaved it till I could afford electrolysis. I've been doing 2hrs a month since February and should only need one more session.
>>6318696
>>Start HRT young as possible.
what's the oldest recommended age?
>>6318115
Shave, tweeze, and make-up, yo.
Shave, tweeze, and make-up.
>>6318708
If your didn't get into HRT 30 seconds post conception, you're basically doomed to being a hon forever.
>>6319087
damn right.
Are people actually fucking suggesting makeup to hide stubble? That is a dumb move. Best bet is electrolysis, only could afford 3 sessions but in the places I had done nothing grew back.
>>6319137
I'm sure there is an algorithm that takes into account skin tone, hair color, and facial hair density to determine what combination of electrolysis and laser would be most cost effective.
>>6319143
Electrolysis always. Laser is a meme and non permanent. Electrolysis is for all hair types and color and skin sensitivity. Laser is only good on black hair + 100% light white skin. Laser doesn't work on gingers like me but for anyone not wanting constant return trips then electrolysis is god for killing hair, only draw back is its twice as time consuming and expensive.
>>6319188
>A ginger not liking laser
Go figure.
>>6319194
Its not a dislike, its a fact. Laser is non permanent and can damage skin whereas electrolysis done right is permanent and doesn't scar if you do it right.
Literally what I use.
>>6319332
I just had a horrifying experience with electrolysis that almost ended up leaving me with a massive scar, so I'm biased against it.
>>6319332
Kayla. If you can't trust an AGP hon, who can u trust?
>>6319332
>He also had everything against electrolysis and his clinic doesn't provide the service
because laser people don't need a medical licence to do it like electrolysis does, enjoy your scars
>>6319357
How could you not know dermatologists have an MD?
>>6319505
Most laser places are not ran by an MD
>>6319087
kek
>>6319513
There has been a breakdown in communication.
Has anybody ever tried waxing their beard, or does your whole face come off and then you pass 100% as undead?
>>6318549
Can we make a lgbt rule for no tumblr bullshit like this please
I feel pain for reading this post
>>6319552
i so fucking agree
>>6319550
I did that, but I also had holes put in my cheeks and got my eyes yellowed. Hardly ever get clocked anymore.
>>6318549
My therapist literally said this exact phrase.
>>6319567
> had holes put in my cheeks and got my eyes yellowed.
What.
>I did that,
What were the results and aftermath? I'm considering it.
>>6319552
Seriously why has every thread three posters frothing at their mouths saying "tumblrgrgrgrgrgrhrgrgrhrrrr"
I don't get it. Tumblr's a good porn source. There must be something I'm missing out on.
>>6318606
Wants to be pretty lady, doesnt want to shave often... Pick one honey
>>6318115
Transplant it to your head to cure the male pattern baldness
>>6319614
that's if i don't shave
>>6319611
I'm using "tumblr bullshit" as an umbrella term to classify blind positivity and "just accept yourself cis girls have these problems too"
>>6319629
Yeah I gather as much but where does all that come from?
What does tumblr have to do with all that?
>>6318115
>tfw 6'1, only A cup boobs, short hair and a massive jew nose
at least I got on hrt fast enough to not grow facial hair right?
>>6319639
Tumblr is a place where sjw crap has bred over time
Do you want me to publicly state not all tumblrs are like this and that he sits itself is alright?
It exists everywhere now but when I was involved in it *shudder* everyone had a tumblr.
I get what you're saying but it's more convinent to say tumblr bullshit than to write a paragraph carefully picking out the very specific people I'm referring too.

When did you start?
>>6319695

oookayyyy... oO

first day I was put on hormones my facial hair stopped sorry hon should have waited till your bell went off
>>6319587
It's because the people educating them on transsexualism are AGP hons who are okay with just crossdressing and calling themselves a female name, without any dysphoria or steps towards transition.
>>6318569
>>6318613
Look, I don't know what's upsetting about it. I meant to be inspirational. I still have beard shadow, but no one has clocked me since I started going out en femme. Women have been so open and accepting, and treat me like I'm just one of the girls. *hugs*

I had about 12 laser sessions and the hair started to come back noticeably about 4 years later. Not fucking cool. I was an ideal candidate, pale with dark brown hair, too.
Electro is a pain in the ass and time consuming, but it is worth it with a good technician.
>>6319137
only thing shitty about electro is having to grow the hair out its the worst
>>6320036
There are some extremely retarded people that post here.
why pay thousands for laser clinics? Just buy one of this. If hair starts to grow back after years use it again
Shave it every third day, with a coconut oil preshave so I can get as close as humanly possible.
If I ever have the money again I'm gonna finish off that electrolysis I started a while back. It takes a while.
>tfw used to pay 50 euros for both full legs and face
ayy lmao

>when you're hairy af
>when you have thick, dark hair
too much makeup will end up caking and it will make the hairs more prominent, but a thin layer of an orange based primer under your foundation can help w/ any discoloration associated w/ facial hair.
also opting for a corrective under eye concealer can help as well for similar reasons; under eye concealers tend to correct bluish pigmentation and have a higher coverage, both of which are good for facial hair. Like I said, just dont go overboard with the application.

A board about lgbt matters pretty much has to associate itself with tumblr
I've almost left this board all together
Shave without looking, while crying.
