Let's not sugar-coat things: Dealing with facial hair can be a real pain in the you-know-what, especially when it comes to peach fuzz, AKA the annoyingly fine hair that covers your cheeks, forehead and even ears. "This isn't the same type of the hair that we have on our head, arms, legs, bikini line or underarms," explains Shobha Tummala, founder & CEO of Shobha. "It's vellus hair, which means it's short, thin and light-colored." While this soft fuzz may not be as noticeable as coarse, dark strands, it can still be unsightly and understandably something you'd prefer not to have on your face. But because it's a different beast than all the other hair you're used to removing, getting rid of peach fuzz requires extra consideration and some different techniques.

Here, the six best facial de-fuzzing methods...and the two that won't work.
