It won't hurt to try it. However, you may need to apply the mixture more than once before you notice a difference in your mustache.

Question

I was going to try the turmeric/salt/lemon/milk mixture, but then remembered that turmeric - even a little bit - dyes my skin. Will that happen with this mixture, and how can I prevent it?

Expert Answer

Apply a base product such as petroleum jelly on the areas that you don't want to lighten. Also, don't leave the mixture on for more than 5 minutes to prevent it from staining unwanted areas.

The first time I used this, my skin was lightened also. How can I avoid this?

Use less bleach and make sure it goes on the hair and not the skin. Some skin whitening my still occur, with you should be able to minimize it.

Question

I applied the bleach on my face for almost 15 minutes but it didn't work much. So again after washing it I applied the mixture for 10 minutes still the hair are not completely blonde. What should I do?

Community Answer

Try a different type of bleach. The brand you're using does not work for your hair type.

Question

Will this work on African Americans? My skin is like a caramel color and I don't want my upper lip to be blond

Community Answer

If you're trying to minimize the appearance of facial hair, bleaching is not a good solution for African Americans. Bleaching will turn most hair a bright blond, so consider other options if that's not what you want.

Question

If you bleached your facial hair, how can you remove it?

Community Answer

You can rinse out the bleach, but once hair is bleached, it stays that way. You will have to let it grow out to get back to your original color.

Question

Is my 7-year-old daughter's skin too sensitive for bleaching the hair above her lips?

Community Answer

Bleaching should be okay if done carefully. There are no age restrictions on any hair removal methods. It may cause a little irritation, but not more than it would to adult skin.

Can I get done bleach and facial at parlour, while I have Complete beard?

Community Answer

If you have a complete beard, it's a good idea to bleach at a parlous. However, check first to make sure they provide those services.

Question

I'm an Asian person, and bleach made my facial hair blonde. It’s very noticeable (and pretty embarrassing). How can I bleach my facial hair, but have a shade that matches my brown skin?

Belle K.

Top Answerer

You could bleach the rest of your facial hair completely, then dye it to a shade that more accurately suits your skin tone.
