2. PLUCKING

3. WAXING

If you done the eyebrows, then you’re good for the upper lip. This does cause some redness in the skin, so make sure to sooth the area. Threading works great for smaller areas such as upper lip, eyebrows, cheeks, and you might want to avoid any possible ingrown hairs by gently exfoliating the skin.
