Women Should Shave to Look Younger

Women have facial hair, just like men, albeit usually finer, light-coloured downy strands known as vellus hair.

Some are lucky and this fine hair is barely noticeable or virtually non-existent, but others may have naturally furrier faces and, according to the NHS, up to three-quarters of women have increased facial hair as they get older, especially after the menopause. Hormonal imbalances and conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome can also stimulate increased facial hair growth, though much of it can be down to the lottery of your genes.

As well as slicing off this fine hair, shaving removes the top layer of dead skin cells, so it is exfoliating.

Dr Michael Prager, an aesthetic clinician who has a practice in London, says: ‘From an anti-ageing point of view, home shaving has some effect. ‘It’s like a mild form of microdermabrasion, so encourages collagen production, which reduces wrinkles. Whenever there’s trauma to the skin, collagen is stimulated to help cell renewal.’

Angela Garvin’s alarm goes off at 6.30am every day. As a legal adviser, she has to be up early, and has a strict skin regime to get through.

First, she cleanses her face, then she dabs on some toner — and reaches for a bottle of shaving gel. She applies it across her chin, top lip and a small area around her neck.

Then, using a men’s disposable razor, she carefully shaves her face, rinsing the fine, pale hairs down the basin as she goes. To finish, she rinses with warm water and applies moisturiser.

According to beauty enthusiasts — or pretty much any woman you care to ask — Angela has committed a cardinal sin.

After all, if shaving your legs encourages hair to grow back thicker, darker and stronger, then, for a woman, face-shaving would appear to invite disaster.

Nevertheless, Angela, 46, from Essex, has been shaving her face three times a week for the past eight years and couldn’t be happier with the results.

Food for thought - Questions that needs to be answered

1. When INEC Nigeria was fixing the elections for February 2015 didn't they know that we had security concerns in the north-east?
2. In November 2014, INEC said that all preparations have been made for the elections, why the sudden unpreparedness?
3. The same Military said just 2 weeks ago that they will guaranty security during the February elections, what changed?
4. What is the guaranty that Bokoharam which seems to be the excuse will be eradicated in 6 week? Remember Bokoharam has been in the North-East for years and now we are made to believe it will end in 6 weeks? Last year the government gave us April to be the last day of Bokoham and almost 1yr after we still have Bokoharam.
5. If security concerns don't end in 6 weeks, what happens? Do we postpone again or prepare for an interim government?
6. F.G. has virtually paused due to this elections for almost 6months and now it will pause for another 6 weeks, what happens to the masses?
I think their is something INEC is yet to tell Nigerians. Why can't we just do something right for once? What are we afraid off? At this point do I am forced to ask, "Who is INEC working for?"
When I say that "The hope I have in this country has vanished" people rebuke me. I wonder what they will say about the recent happenings
