Why do some women past a certain age get facial fuzz and others don't? Jane Seymour, when magnified, has a lot of peach fuzz on her face. Can this be lasered off?

Easier to just shave it off and it exfoliates the skin too. I thought everyone had peach fuzz (velous hair) to face though.
I've been having problems with computer since May. I'm on a loaner now and still waiting for a new one. If I don't get back to you or am not on board, it would be most likely due to another computer problem.

I think people have it to different degrees. I don't have any yet, but who knows what the future holds.
So shaving doesn't make it grow back thicker?

So shaving doesn't make it grow back thicker? I am 31 and I have always had white peach fuzz. I use the japanese ladies facial razors. You can buy them in japanese groceries stores. apparently japanese women shave their faces to help exofiation. A makeup artist told me about it. I think it does get worse for some women as the age. Lasers do not work on light pigmentation. The darker the and fairer complexion takes best (ideal porcelain skin and black hair). But fair hair and fair skin can forget lasers for hair removal. Eating dollars bill would be more efficent.

Race, genes, and hormones all are contributing factors for facial hair. Shaving is your best option, even though hair removal is a side benefit of the exfoliation from shaving.

My mom had that problem, and she did everything in the world to combat it: lasers, depilatories, the cream (Vaniqua), old school electrolysis, just the whole kit and kaboodle. Her cosmetic derm finally told her to shave, and she totally whacked out. I think there's something just inheriently frightening to some women of a certain age when they're told to shave. The old adage that it [hair] grows back thicker, darker, and just meaner kicks in, despite what they may know intellectually, and they use that as an excuse. Plus, shaving the face is seen as a masculine endeavor, and the last thing a woman going through menopause wants is to have to engage in masculine endeavors. Just my own armchair psychology. I personally would love to hold Madonna, my mom, and Jayne Seymour down and shave the heck out of them . . . only their faces, though. Only their faces.

There are some moisturizers out now that slow down hair growth but, like Miss J says, I think it's just easier to do a few swipes with a Bic once or twice a week. I don't even feel any stubble when it regrows. Very hassle free, really.

I've been shaving since the early 90's. I don't regret one razor swipe over the years (except for the time or two that I nicked myself). Hateme, try to get your mom while she's asleep--like how college guys shave off only one eyebrow of a friend as a prank--only her whole face. She won't realize what happened until it's too late and will love how nice her make-up looks. As for Madonna, you're on your own.(And, I would not worry about even needing to shave any nether parts of Madge--I'm sure Jesus does that for her-*wink*).

I probably started shaving maybe three years ago. I have actually taken off a few of the end pieces of my bangs, as well as the tips of my lower eyelashes!! All grew back, but geez, it can be dangerous!! LOL I am extra careful when doing my forehead for worry of my brows!

Cybergirl, I can only comment from my perspective: my facial FUZZ increased in direct proportion to my advanced years. I don't think I had any till I hit 40? But I use one of those little battery-operated shavers for trimming eyebrows etc., that you get at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Works like a charm, shaving off the peach fuzz. Believe me, those shavers are infinitely preferable to waxing strips. Ye gads, but I "stripped" my top lip once and only once. Peeled off a layer of skin with that damn tape. Walked around SHRIEKING at work for a full day as even the slight draft of wind when I walked felt like a bullwhip on my face. Oh Ko. Not fun. Then I got smart and put a layer of Aquaphor on my wound. Ouch. Got a lot of funny looks - but was beyond caring what people thought while I healed.

I just want to go on record saying: that photo of Jane Seymour (whom I thought was the most drop-dead gawjus gal in the world seeing her in that odd Frankenstein movie of decades ago) inspired me to go SHAVE. Ah. That felt great. No more peach fuzz. Of course my cheeks now look sunken and hollow, but at least they are lint-free.
