Love and Skincare: New morning routine just dropped

New morning routine just dropped

By Mel - 23/04/2023 12:00 - United States - Miami Beach

Today, I realized why I've developed painful, flaky, dry patches above my upper lip. It's from kissing my new boyfriend, whose facial hair irritates my skin. He really dislikes how he looks without it, so my best option might be to just stop kissing him. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I have a rash all over my face because yesterday my boyfriend broke up with me. Apparently, I am allergic to the something in the tissues with which I was blowing my nose and wiping away my tears. FML

Today, I realized that my boyfriend really does have a problem with my upper-lip hair. I woke up this morning to him ripping a wax strip off of my face. All he could say after I stopped shrieking was that he had hoped it wouldn't wake me up. FML

Today, me and my boyfriend were telling each other secrets, so I told him I shaved my upper lip. He said, "I know, it's prickly when we make out." FML

First Dates

By sillvy - 13/01/2012 09:32 - United States

Today, I was on a date. I noticed he kept looking at my lips. Thinking he wanted to kiss me, I leaned in closer. Disgusted, he pulled away and said, "I'm sorry, but that pimple on your chin is, like, staring at me or something." FML

Make it stop

By Ow ow owwww - 15/08/2023 07:00 - United States

Today, I have what is probably a cold sore on my upper lip. I also have a mustache, which keeps rubbing against it. Because of this, no matter what I do, it stings. The next few days are fixing to be very, very long and miserable. FML

Today, I finally told my boyfriend I have a medical condition that makes me grow an unusual amount of hair on my face, so I shave every day. He said he was leaving me because he refuses to be with a "bearded lady". FML

Nair do well

By muffin - 10/05/2009 05:22 - United States

Today, I wanted to look really good for my date. I was a little self-conscious, so I decided to use Nair on my upper lip just in case I had a female mustache. Unfortunately, it turns out I'm allergic to Nair. Now I DO have a mustache. A rash mustache. FML

Fuzzy logic

Today, I had to come to terms with having more facial hair than my boyfriend, despite being female since birth. FML

I had a mustache for a long time. One girlfriend once told me to use hair conditioner (like for the hair on your head) on it to make it less scratchy. It helped somewhat and so would a bit of a trim around the lips. You should be able to discuss this if you are boyfriend girlfriend and find a workable and fair solution. But everyone has a certain self-image that is important to them. This is not a time or subject to lay down threats or demands about.

Maybe he can give it a nice trim as an alternative? 5 o'clock shadow looks nice. There's gotta be an alternative other than to stop making out.

It sounds like OP could clean her pots and pans with her boyfriend's 5 o'clock shadow. Better let it grow and condition it. Hey, if it's long enough, he could braid it out of the way. Good bye flaky upper lip!
